OK, one more panorama
This one is of downtown Charlotte taken from a parking lot across the street from where Midtown Mall used to be. One thing about rampant development is that it gives you views of the city that weren't there before, at least until the new building goes up.
One of the things I've really started to like about making the panoramas with Autostitch is the views you get of the sky. You can really see the pattern of cloud cover with these views Autostitch creates.

I can't help myself
I went to the main library today to do some eBay speculating on 16 mm films. I doubt I'll make my $13 back but it was worth a shot. While I was there I took a panorama shot of downtown from the top floor of the parking deck at 6th and College. It was a blustery and cloudy day. I tried to do a 360 degree panorama but there was too much interference in the foreground so I'll have to be happy with this 180 degree shot. Maybe it's a bit less that 180 degrees but it's close.

Criticize vice president, go to jail
I hope the next time you are close to the vice president you are smart enough to keep your mouth shut. Is a night in jail really worth telling off Dick Cheney? I'd have to say yes. This reminds me of that guy after Katrina that told Cheney to fuck off. He almost got arrested for that. Man, these guys suck.

Howdy
Haven't been posting much lately. I've been spending too much time arguing with these idiot conservatives at another blog. I'm going to stop that, it's like arguing with a brick wall. These guys are so whacked that they believe torture works, Clinton is solely responsible for 9/11, the Iraq invasion was a good idea, there were no lies by the administration leading up to the war, Islam is a religion of hate and those that oppose the Bush administration are traitors. It's impossible to argue with people like that because all they can do is insult you. Screw those fascists, I'm staying away. It is hard to stay away, though, because they will feel like they won something but I'm tired of being called a traitor because I oppose everything George Bush stands for. Ah well, I'd be worried if those clowns didn't view me as a traitor because if they didn't that would mean that I think just like them and that would be much worse. I have to remind myself that anyone so far to the right is probably just another Foley waiting to happen. It was Bill Hicks talking about Jesse Helms that said anyone that far to the right is hiding a dark secret.
Baseball
I watched the Tigers and the Yankees playoff game last night. You know, I used to love Derek Jeter but now he's a Tiger killer and he just pisses me off. How is it that he is so good in October? It really is something else. Even when he is clobbering your home team he's fun to watch. The bastard.
I haven't watched that many Tiger games this year. I've followed the team all year and know the personnel but I feel a little like a fair weather fan. I've kept up with the team and was optimistic when Alan Trammell took over a few years ago and I followed the careers of Justin Thompson and Jeff Weaver. So, I've kept up. The only thing about this Tiger team that worries me is the closer, Todd Jones. He just seems to make the 9th inning a little more dramatic that it need be. Putting guys on base against the Yankees in the 9th inning is just not going to work. It's not good in general but will really bite you with a lineup as loaded as the Yankees.
Speaking of baseball
I'll bet your wondering what a 1911 Ty Cobb baseball card looks like. Your quest is at an end. If you thought that was lovely there are more at this site. That Library of Congress website is a gold mine.

Nice blog
I just picked this blog up a few months ago. It's written by Katrina Huevel and she's an editor at The Nation. All I can say is, thank god for The Nation and the New York Review of Books or Bush and company would really be getting away with this shite.
A quote from Huevel's most recent blog post: "It is now painfully clear that the very Republicans whose job it is to protect us and our children from danger have failed repeatedly, because they're too busy protecting their own political power. The evidence is as overwhelming and repugnant as Mark Foley's emails."

"This is not law. This is casuistry, the detritus of another perfect storm, the one that occurred when the deferments of the Vietnam years met the ardor of the Reagan Revolution."
