I love England (my wife 's mother is British and she has a ton of family still in the Midlands) and I wish I could get there once a year.
This is the golden age of beer in the US. In my small city of 500k people there must be 20 local microbreweries and the whole country is that way right now. In every city I visit I sample the local brews and its oftentimes fantastic. Having said that there is something really special about a fresh Guiness in England at about 11am......

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
Ha! That's great! (and that goes for Mister Sith and Mr Jones)
Well here I am with my 8x10 Eastman Kodak 2D. See how happy I am, that was before I tried to start the truck. So I should know better, but just to be sure, I took my diesel truck with 8 year old batteries out to Flagstaff in the winter. Had I given it any thought at all I would have realized that was a bad idea. So it late afternoon, I get my shot of the abandon water tank with great bolt shadows, load everything up and sure enough the truck would start. I suppose to get in the low 20's that night, it's getting dark, I forgot my cell phone, plus the cell service is poor, sleeping bags are home instead of in the truck where they belong, girlfriend has a bad hip so the 6 mile walk is going to be tough. Our house is 35 miles out of Flagstaff and 6 miles out on dirt roads and we are right where the dirt road starts. We don't have many neighbors but l luckily one of them was coming home and not only gave us a ride home, but gave me a ride back to the truck in the morning, tried to jump the truck. In the end I had to get AAA out to jump the truck as my neighbors car was just to small. Needless to say I have two brand new batteries in the truck.
