I really liked the Dallas Zoo. Seemed to be laid out better to cut way down on the wandering around between animal areas. Not as many animals but better photo opportunities in Dallas.

Made a trip to the Dallas Zoo today. I guess I am making the tour of Americas Zoos.

Happy Birthday

Some nature shots from the morning.

I had a line of one of those locally to try out but never got the pick up scheduled. I don't think I would use it much but it would have its purposes. Especially on the FFs.

I got the Nano for the Slim but I have used neither for some time as I just plug right into the iPhone. Good enough for the commute.

I definitely thought this was my week to fall. Nate has beaten me every time we have played I think. Of course in another league that I was undefeated in I ended up getting blown out when projections showed me winning by 55. It is great to see such a high level of competition in the league.

I just knew Rivers was going to throw a pass to Floyd in the last second.

Needs more monkeys.

Took tons of pictures today at the Bronx Zoo. Everyone with a Canon should have a 70-200 in the bag.

I have been battling very soft pics with the 24-70 on the 7D. Great on everything else but nothing sharp with this lens on the 7D. I know I have to use the micro adjustments but for the time being it has forced me to dust off the 70-200 to stick on the 7D. The funny thing is the 70-200 is an easier daily carry than the 24-70. Of course the flower pics. And a couple boring City pics.

I could imagine the 8-15 being interesting for about a week and then never used again.

There are definitely some strange statistics in this league. Our 2nd highest scorer is sitting at 1-3 and below 5 teams that have scored fewer points than him. Match-ups are a killer in Bring out Your Dead's case. Shelly definitely has this figured out as she has scored the most points and has had the fewest points scored against her over the first four games.

If I had anyone worthwhile to offer up for him I would.

Okay, we are hitting one of the toughest stretches of the season and have had some good competition. We have had our first trade in the league and we have had our first bye week player left in the line-up by Brent. So we're taking odds on which happens first, Salty gets a win or Shelly or I take our first loss? Poll is up. Standings: Division 1 1. Team Chaos 4-0 W4 2. Hook 'em Horns 4-0 W4 3. Sitting Duck 3-1 W1 4. iPhone Blows Goats 3-1 W3 5. Devil Foosballers 2-2 W1 6. DAC PACK 2-2 L1 7. Iron Lung 2-2 L1 8. Bring Out Your Dead 1-3 L3 9. Hockey Is Better 1-3 W1 10. The Schwartz is With Me 1-3 L1 11. Atlanta Maytweezies 1-3 L3 12. Dizzy's Salted Ones 0-4 L4 Updated Tuesday, October 5

Yeah I am 4-0 but I benched my round 1 and 2 picks today because of their suckiness and that will not take me very far. At least I did not lose to Brent who played a WR on a bye.

I hate everyone on my team except Antonio Gates.

Went to the Hoboken Arts and Music Festival today for some lunch and snapped some pics of the Guitar Bar All-Stars playing. Not a real band but they were not bad. They even had a Giant playing Saxophone and senior citizen groupies.

Spent some time down near Wall Street with the 7D this afternoon. I still have a lot to figure out with this thing as it has one billion options but it seems to be a worthy step up from the 50D. I think it will end up being set aside for sports shooting as I really prefer the 5Ds for daily carry.

Of course.

Some from the walk to dinner tonight. I so miss living in Austin. and one from the Dinny store.

It is looking like that Greene>Manningham/Keller trade might have been a bit lopsided. Greene 5 points on the season Manningham/Keller 85 points on the season.
