IPT UPDATES
 
LIGHTS, CAMERA, AIR-CONDITIONING!
 
Miraculously, power has been restored here at Indian Lake Estates far earlier than anticipated.  Both Jim and I have been hard at work since midday Thursday and we are pretty much caught up.  Only bummer?    Six trees landed on the cable wire (better than on my house!) and no TV = no Olympics!
 
Thanks to all for their (mail-order) patience and for sending love and good thoughts our way.
 
I leave for Kenya on Saturday.  I will be unable to respond to requests for photographic advice and information until I return in mid-September.  Jennifer and Jim will be here to fill your mail orders and take care of IPT business.

Yesterday, Canon announced the EOS 20D (8.2 megapixel) digital camera.  You can find excellent reviews here:
