I just need to keep an eye on things as there is a download limit.<br /><br />Parv - I'm sure the picture could do with a little improvement, but it was a quick snapshot and was thrilled it came out so well - I've hardly done any processing to the image which is rare for me!<br /><br />Protege - what to say? There have been so many predictions in history about the end of the world and none of them have been right. (have you ever asked a Jehovah's witness why we're still here? - they've predicted the apocalypse countless times and have never got it correct). The 2012 nonsense is the same. <br /><br />In astronomical terms, we could all be wiped out tomorrow by an undetected asteroid or in a billion years. No Galactic or planetary alignment is going to kill us though. Our poles do shift from time to time as well, but life is still here despite that.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry if I were you! <br /><br />Brad - how can you tell it's a Canada Goose? And what's it doing in England? ;)<br /><br />PS. Yes, I heard nenes were related, apparently a couple of Canada geese got lost one day and ended up in Hawaii. That's a fairly serious navigation error!<br /><br />Aaron - the 5 GB cap is definitely a gotcha but fortunately Verizon do provide some decent monitoring tools although they do lag a bit which could be an issue. I did check Mobi PCS but unfortunately their coverage doesn't extend to Kaloli Point (where I live) despite what they claim in the adverts, i.e., their coverage is everywhere. I got a little miffed with them when I checked their actual coverage. <br /><br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917420597770463210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-13382028870324014122009-11-07T07:10:54.309-10:002009-11-07T07:10:54.309-10:00Tom,

Thus he went the Verizon wireless route too.<br /><br />The only gotcha is the price and the monthly 5GB cap on uploads/downloads. <br /><br />There is Mobi PCS's Hele service for 29.00 a month WITHOUT the cap. But it appears they don't cover much of Puna. <br /><br />http://www.mobipcs.com/hele/coverage.phpAaron Stenehttp://thekonablog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-33172823252773263272009-11-07T06:56:37.946-10:002009-11-07T06:56:37.946-10:00That's a Canada Goose, a close relative of the...That's a Canada Goose, a close relative of the nene!Bradhttp://www.canspice.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-70026941453490126472009-11-07T05:00:35.922-10:002009-11-07T05:00:35.922-10:00You did not have broadband before?

Wow, dial up connection, I think I had that like 15 years ago...;) I admire your patience then.;)<br /><br />On another note, I so want to hear your take on the latest hype; the 2012 phenomenon. It is all a con, right? There is no danger in the coming galactic alignment and the imminent polar shift?Zuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-28330508337294876572009-11-07T03:00:06.993-10:002009-11-07T03:00:06.993-10:00For a moment I was wondering if I was indeed on &q...For a moment I was wondering if I was indeed on "A Pacific View". "Where had Tom found those birds around these parts?" was the next thought.<br /><br />Goose shows good detail. White feathers were overexposed a bit.
