Crap. The risky procedure to scrape the gunk out of the shadowy and mysterious Codename Grandma’s lungs doesn’t seem to have helped – the gunk has come back, and she’s going to have to have the procedure again.
Once again, please send any prayers or positive vibes you have in V. and her gran’s direction.

Not sure if I mentioned that I got a 50mm f/1.4 lens, and was amazed by its light-drinking capabilities – to the point where I discovered I could actually do some limited night photography without a tripod. Some results below:

Either the new lens or its filter has some ghosting issues, or Space Invaders was eerily prophetic.

I’m gonna go with “ghosting issues.”

Jane (welcome back!!!) has a great post about Bush’s efforts to steal or subvert McCain’s mojo – quite possibly the only thing his administration has been successful at of late.
My favorite line:
McCain is palpably chaffing as he scrambles to find some way, any way to keep his political hopes alive by making hawkish proposals he thinks nobody will ever try to implement.
Heh. I’m amazed that after six years anyone could possibly still think that there is anything so hawkish and reckless and stupid that Dubya will not do it.
Now, if only someone could figure out a way to triple-dog-dare him to bring the troops home…
