Hey lumpkin...

[Ellen]

What''s your new av?

It's a photo I took when we went downtown. I can't remember what building it was, but we got chased out by security almost immediately after I took the photo. Seems after 9-11 we are no longer allowed to photograph the architecture of our downtown KC buildings. Security is afraid the photos could be used to plot a terrorist attack or something.

Anyway, I did manage to get in a few snaps before we were escorted out of the building.

ETA: They didn't ask for the chip from my camera, though. I didn't think about it at the time, but I suppose they could have. They talked to us a few minutes and we had the kids with us, so I think they didn't find us much of a threat. But they didn't waste any time getting to us and asking me to stop. It was very weird.


Funny thing, they didn't mind a bit if we took photos when we went to the Topeka capital building.

Good grief.

Ok, I just had to ask. I kept staring at it and going, what IS that??

It''s actually a shot looking up into one of the sky lights. I thought it was cool looking -- it''s a much better photo when it''s not reduced to such a tiny size. I can see why you did wonder what the heck it was.

Yep, after you said what it was, I figured it out. I bet it is a neat pic!

Oh phew! I thought it was a place you were considering jumping from before I offered you that cocktail the other night!

But I did appreciate the cyber marg.

I rather enjoyed the pic of you holding up the glass!!

 

[lumpkin]

Thanks, FG. That''s probably the only decent picture of me in all of our entire recent photo collection. I''m horribly un-photogenic!

Right? It made me want to meet you guys at the local pub every time I saw it.

So who''s pouring?
