Yesterday i walked out of the office at church to find this:

So..yeah…somebody just walked through the parking lot in broad daylight and smashed the window of our car. The pay off was huge for them. Im sure whoever it was will enjoy The Stringcheese Incident and The Listener  CD they took. And that tape deck adaptor from 1996 will come in handy!

This kind of stuff is super frustrating…time and money gone for nothing. I mean really, i would have let you listen to my cds if you had just asked!

The best part is that we did not even make it a year before we are having to fix (and pay for!) our car because somebody was mean.

I am looking on the bright side. While filling the police report I noticed that we need to renew our tags this month. If somebody had not smashed our window i might not have noticed. Then we would have gotten a ticket and thats not fun.

This is my trusty D70. We have been through a lot. This camera has take thousands of pictures. It has survived a lot of trips up the poles of NLR’s ropes course. It has taken pictures of five years worth of NLR campers and family campers. It has taken pictures of my friends and their kids. It has been hiking, splashed, dirty, cold and dusty.

Unfortunately it (mostly) does not work any more. So, i got a new camera. It’s all fancy, more pixels, shoots video, and faster. But, I do feel like I am replacing an old friend (i know…it’s kind of lame to call a camera a friend) and I hope the D70 will forgive me for replacing it. It’s been a good 5 years.
