Reserve your spot. Guest appearances by Chris M. of Hardball, Lawrence O. from MSNBC, and Gail C. and Nate S. of NYT. Videos from Gwen I. of PBS.

We will destruct Romney and the GOP.

ALH said...: Heard of a farmer that was checking a field recently in SW Wisconsin. He looked up and saw a cougar on a tree limb.

My suspicion is that Meade has had a this experience in his neck of the woods too.; 9/11/12, 8:58 PM

It was a stupid bet (did he really think he couldn't lose to the 'Niners?!), but this is poor form.

Disappointing.; 9/11/12, 9:11 PM

ricpic said...: There's no getting away from remember
When it comes to September
When, yes, the light is fading fast,
Makes us fraught to grasp,
Keep hold of memories barely old.

The barely old we want to stay slithers away
And leaves us empty in September...remember?; 9/11/12, 9:40 PM
wyo sis said...: I love September. It's the most beautiful month where I live. All the red leaves are out now and some of the willows are turning. I love the red light on the tree limbs in the photo.; 9/11/12, 10:40 PM
Sprezzatura said...: I don't like the photo.

Blah.; 9/11/12, 11:05 PM

Light. Never an absence of that! Nor of darkness.

Thankfulness for both?; 9/11/12, 11:28 PM

Chip Ahoy said...: This is a breathtaking photograph and I see what caught your attention, the light changes on the limbs and through them is interesting.

But I want to be encouraging here and say something I believe in my heart.

Actually, I believe it in my brain, but my heart is connected via a series of minute nearly microscopic network of nerves and blood vessels and biologic membranes and such, it's quite a mess in there but connected nonetheless. Look, it's a phrase, okay?

That this is the sort of image best captured on a full size sensor. There I said it. You deserve the Nikon flagship since you already have a great collection of lenses. Here's the thing that you already know that I must remind you of, those lenses are not being used to their full potential on a 3/4 sensor camera like the your D -50 or my D-90, you see, I'm making the argument for myself too. We deserve it. But you more than me so you go first. And if you don't then I will.

I realize this is the Panasonic but I'm making the case anyway.; 9/12/12, 12:53 AM
Chip Ahoy said...: Wouldn't that be hairy Larry us if I were to just get a Nikon full sensor before you do? You a famous law professor and me a poor boy whose story seldom told who has squandered his resista

never mind that, but wouldn't it be funny?; 9/12/12, 12:57 AM
rcommal said...: Chip Ahoy:

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

Tick-Tock, boy!
