Sounds like a perfectly lovely morning. I'd lend you my digi cable, but like the proverbial dog who ate my homework, he also ate my cable. After spending a fairly fruitless day at various electronic sellers, and finding that it was nearly impossible to find an exact match for the camera, who knew you'd have to actually go to Mt. Olympus and the digital gods and throw yourself at their feet and then wait up to six weeks for delivery because no one carries the blankety blank blank on the shelf because there are 5,280 different kinds of cables and it isn't cost effective to carry any one of them just because YOU were stupid enough to get a puppy who ate the wire when you weren't looking. So..... after much deliberation on my part, I got one of those little card readers/writers and just pop the card out of the camera, insert it into the converter drive thingy and pop it into the port on my pc. Works a charm.

I'm in a better mood at the moment. Got a cup of coffee and sat on the front step for a little while freezing my tushie off but having fun watching the robins being fed. They've been out of the nest for what? about a week now? They are in the mulberry somewhere as I can see the parents still grabbing worms, flying into the branches, and the resulting chorus of FEED ME FIRST! ME! ME! ME! They've pretty much filled out all their feathers and I am a bit surprised they haven't left yet. They fly, or seem to, quite well.
