Cyber-Café Image

“Good morning Jay,” Carl greeted as I sat down at our usual table by the front plate glass window in the Cyber-Café with my porcelain, not China (but made in China) or stoneware Codger Collectible Mug™ filled precariously full of organically & shade-grown, fair trade, Guatemalan-Roast coffee, “I hear you’ve been running around with that new camera of yours shooting things.”

“Why yes,” I answered, “yes I have.”

“Do you have that dangerous weapon with you?” Harold asked, and then continued, “I hope you’ll leave it in its case, ‘cause the sign on the door says ‘No Weapons Allowed’.”

“It’s new,” Medford, as usual stirring cream & sugar pollutants into his coffee said, “he doesn’t want to take your pictures.”

“Are you suggesting,” Fred asked, looking up from his ever-present Pioneer Press newspaper, “that we are not worthy of being photographed?”

“Nope, not at all,” Medford replied with a wide smile, “you coots a just flat too ugly, and would terrorize our Gentle Readers.”

“Not only that,” I added, “it might actually break my new camera to so much as point it in your direction!”

“OK then,” Carl said, “now that you’ve established that you don’t want to share our god-like handsomeness with our Gentle Readers, do you have any photos to share?”

“Take a peek.”

“And COMMENT!”

Wow neat pictures guys. You know how to use a camera Medford. 

That is something that you can take a photo of three neighborhoods...

Maureen M: Medford does indeed know how to use a camera—but these are mine-mine-mine☺! Medford has some fine shots of the new construction on the “Upper Levee” that maybe I can get him to share with our Gentle Readers. The photos, taken from Cherokee Heights using the limited telephoto feature of my camera, can show the three neighborhoods because they are vertically stacked. BTW: Boomer & Teresa’s home is shown in the photo! Thank you for the compliment!

I knew they were your's Jay... Jay Merton - Medford Ambrose gets me mixed up until I have lotsa coffee... I am on my first cup of sun grown Kroger brand brew in whatever mug I grabbed out of the cupboard this AM... there should be rules about commenting until the cafeine kicks in.

Maureen M: Completely understandable! I don’t function well at all until I’ve had that 1st mug.

Well.....what's the temperature?  Bring it on.  I want to see it!  Maybe you should post a picture of your thermometer!

yeah really, I agree with Chris.  In your eagerness to show off your lovely pictures you forgot that we Floridians come here just so we can laugh at your cold weather.  How warm is it today?  17 degrees?

Be so kind as to pass me some pollutants please.

Jay, the last few days your posts are spreading out across the screen. I've been having to scroll sideways to read. Is it just me? Maybe your photos are too big.   

I do like the photos. It even looks cold...Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

Some people will do anything to get their posts noticed.  :)

 

I have to scroll sideways, too.

Whew - glad someone mentioned the screen problem.  I thought it was my computer but it must be Codger power!   I love your photos!!!!

To All Scrollers: I suspect it has to do with a couple of things: screen resolution and browser used come to mind. It looks different on Medford's computer than it does on mine. I'm not sure how to cure it (it looks fine on this computer).

Linda: I changed my screen resolution from the highest to the lowest resolution, and went back through the past 10 posts and reduced the size of the photos and graphics. Now I can read the darn words without increasing "text size" to codger-normal.
