HandyCamera
One of the best things about pocket-sized digital cameras is that they're really easy to carry around. I have a Canon PowerShot SD300 (highly recommended) that I carry around almost all the time now, and I dig shooting pics of random stuff. A few examples:
A handy thing about downtown Minneapolis is the skyway system. You could walk about ten blocks in any direction from the center and never set foot outside. Not terribly exciting when the weather is sunny and warm, but very welcome the other 10 months of the year when it sucks outside.
While I'm on the topic of Minneapolis, I've been seeing it from a few interesting angles lately. This is Lake Calhoun, with Minneapolis in the background.
And this is yours truly with some weird sunglasses hair on the roof of a friend's apartment building.
I was up on that roof for a laid-back 4th of July get together with a small group of friends, and one of the intensely exciting highlights of the evening was the sparklers that Melba brought:
That's Melba on the far right.
And this is Melba back home about an hour later:
Already crashed out hard, with Murph and Duff keeping her company.
And one last shot that falls square in the random category:
This is a tiny old former White Castle restaurant where you can now purchase a wedding ring AND an accordion. One stop shopping, baybee.

Those cameras retail for about $200, do they not?
Looks like they run about $250.
Have you been to Lyon's Pub in downtown Minn.?

Melba and I were there the night we met.
I've been planning out my Winter vacation, and Minneapolis is on my tentative list. I've looked at downtown lodging, and that's when I noticed that Lyon's Pub is kind of close to everything downtown.
So, is it a pretty rockin' pub? Do you find yourself there at least 2 times a month? Chattin' with the locals?
