Mundane? Check. Pointless? Check. Better believe I’ve got to share [this](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Misc&mode=&start=30&pic=Misc048.JPG&picindex=47). Sorry for any blurriness – the pic was taken through a rainy windshield at 50 mph. ---

Wow, Hal, that’s a pretty sweet camera you’ve got there. I had no idea that they made a DSLR that could do more than ISO 3200, let alone ISO 26214400. I bet you took that picture in total darkness! (Yes, I am a photography geek) ETA: Was that taken in the pine barrens? It looks a lot like 539 to me… –FCOD ---

I’ve got good news. Jesus has sacrificed himself for our sins and opened the doors to heaven so that everlasting life is possible for his followers? No, I just saved a ton of money on my car insurance. ---
