Sometimes you're better off staying in bed...

Haven't gone looking for photos for many months now.

Had nothing to do just before sunset and thought I'd go out in the country and get a good photo for blip.

Got the dog in the car; dug up the lenses I might need; drove out into the countryside; found just the perfect shot with the sun going down, cows grazing, old Pennsylvanian barn in the background; got the lens on the camera and...no card.

So I drove back home, picked up a card, and rushed back out. But by then, naturally, the light had all but disappeared.

As I was driving home--again-- I passed the local ice cream shop. Never been there, but there's always a line out the front. So I thought I'd console myself with an ice cream cone--German chocolate with a chocolate dip on top.

Well it wasn't really ice cream...so the instant the girl gave me the cone, it started melting spurting out through the holes in the chocolate. Got it all over myself as I drove the one block home. Dripped all the way through the back yard, onto the kitchen floor (Cider took care of that part), and all over the counter.

Determined to take a photo for blip, I thought I'd try for the dripping cone. But then I forgot to set the white balance... so I had to change it into black and white.

Turns out the 'ice cream' tasted disgusting anyway, so I threw it out.

Shoulda just stayed at home...
