After my very depressing non-predictions post I thought it was a good idea to post something a little bit more positive.to balance out the end of the year.<\/p>\n
Camera Girl went out and got chicken chop suey from our favorite local Chinese restaurant and we’ll watch some fun movies and celebrate the New Year on a good note.\u00a0 We’ve managed to eat or give away most of the Christmas leftovers and even most of the Christmas cookies which is quite an accomplishment.\u00a0 Everyone in the family is doing pretty well and even this state hasn’t resorted to masking in grocery stores or other establishments.\u00a0 I heard a local health care authority admit on television that the omicron “plague” while causing tremendous numbers of infected is failing to cause many serious cases and even fewer deaths.\u00a0 It looks like the COVID panic will be allowed to evaporate.\u00a0 So things are looking up even here in the Evil Empire.<\/p>\n
I’m still in the very early stages of learning how to use the new camera (Sony A7 IV).\u00a0 But so far it checks all the boxes I needed.\u00a0 Tomorrow, if weather permits, I’ll have Camera Girl unleash the hounds and do a tracking autofocus test on them.\u00a0 So expect some info soon.\u00a0 I want to see what the larger file size allows me in cropping my macro shots.<\/p>\n
Like everyone else, I’ll be counting my pennies from now on.\u00a0 Food and everything else is becoming horribly expensive so avoiding waste will have to become a priority.\u00a0 Luckily Camera girl is very frugal.\u00a0 I’ll unleash this super power of hers by not calling her cheap anymore.<\/p>\n
And finally in the New Year I resolve to spend more of my day writing my fiction.\u00a0 It will probably cut into my blogging time but I see now it’s unavoidable.\u00a0 Those morning hours are the only time when creativity exists.<\/p>\n
So Happy New Year everyone out there in the big, wide wonderful world that doesn’t believe what Dementia Joe says.\u00a0 We’ll make progress in 2022 and we’ll figure out a way to prosper despite the awful people who make it their business to torture us.\u00a0 In fact I predict they will be the ones suffering this year.<\/p>\n
