Arizona Hot:
This is the result of my trial of Adobe Photoshop. It's a view of the road up to here(or very long driveway) and the valley below. It's not as big as the original 17 megabyte panaorama because I only have 1 gigabyte of RAM(300 megabytes free). Photoshop said I didn't have enough RAM for a Content-aware fill of the edges of the original panorama. That panorama looked much worse than I remembered it in Photoshop. This cut-down version of the original will have to do.

Ughhh, my mom works out in Lichfield Park (about 15 miles west of here, not far at all!) and both Qwest and Cox refuse to run lines from the north side of the road (newly populated over the last couple of years with housing) to the south side (ranch she works at) so she went from AOL (ughhhh :sick:) to HughesNet, against my IMMENSE amount of criticism of them, their crappy service, and insane pricing scheme (instead of my recommendation of a 3G dongle with a cell service provider). She complains all the time.

Steven complains about HughesNet also. He said he can send email only sporadically and is always getting disconnected.

That's right. The clock says 11:36 PM! I guess that's why they call it the Land of the Midnight Sun

Yes, and in the winter it's the Land of the Noon Stars.

Indeed. My family lived in Alaska when I was a baby (so I don't remember it) and I've heard stories from my siblings about them going to school in the dark and coming home from school in the dark. All the daylight hours passed by while they were in the classroom.
And while we're on the subject, my mom sent me even more photos taken well after 1 AM and it looked as bright outside as it is now (nearly 3 PM) where I am in Idaho. As I said, I'd heard about it before, but it still is kinda crazy (IMO) to see for yourself.

A rather depressing afternoon. The Rupert Murdoch effect perhaps ?
