My Co-workers are Plotting Against Me


And You Thought That Coco could be devious….

After six-and-a-half years, I finally made a piece of furniture which could not go down the stairs.

I took out the bedroom window and shoved the 40″ by 45″ by 23″ Oak cabinet out onto the roof and then down to the sidewalk. Whew! what a relief!

Once it was down, I went back upstairs to put the window back in and found that DERBY WAS CHEWING THROUGH THE ROPE.

Once again, he leaves me speechless……

Lithuania

These are pictures from a trip which my sister Ella and I took to Lithuania in 1998. I recently came across the prints and decided to scan and post some of them. I have digital copies of these, but they are on 3.5″ floppies with unsupported and outdated software.

This trip was the second best vacation that I ever went on;( the best being the 2003 trip to Vermont with Carly).

Comet Holmes 17P

Comet Holmes 17P, originally uploaded by A. Drauglis Furnituremaker.

I was surprised that I was able to see it with the naked eye in the middle of the city.

The darkest (and safest) place which I could get to was behind my house; away from the streetlights, but still having to avoid the glare of my neighbor’s floodlights

Equipped with Dad’s trusty tripod I was able to get some at least crude exposures - The last time I tried my hand at photographing a comet (Hyakutake) I had to weld up a rig using scrap metal and carriage bolts that would clamp to a 4×4 porch post.
