I really like soda. My favorites are Diet Coke and Diet A&W Root Beer. But I like all sorts of soda. In Florida, I got some sort of Brazilian guarana-flavored soda. While it was overly sweet, it was tasty. And now I have a “to …
How to make Kahlua-like stuff (maybe to give out as gifts, this year)?
I mostly take sports photos (volleyball), these days. I’ve done some travel photos, and played with macro shots. I don’t do portraiture at all. But maybe I should? This seems to be the most concise guide to taking portraits I’ve found…
Sometimes the government spends too much. Sometimes the government overbuys. In the latter case, maybe you can acquire them at auction.
