[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 292805, member: 12214"] 4-12-14: It was a beautiful day yesterday so I thought I would take a drive up to Syracuse. I had not done that in a while. I knew there was a reason I always try to avoid going to Syracuse. I hate driving around Syracuse. It's a case of "you can't get there from here." In some areas, you can get back on I-81N but cannot get back on I-81S without going on another highway, in the opposite direction. It is totally counterintuitive. It does not help that I have no sense of direction. :) Anyway, my purpose was to get a new acquisition. No, not a new lens, that will be next, but I went to the Apple store and got a new new 15" retina MacBook Pro. The resolution is beautiful. I did not realize how sharp some of my photos are until I looked at it on that display! It is way faster than my mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro. That's what a quad-core i7, 16GB RAM, and discrete GPU will do. Anyway, I was playing with my new toy most of the afternoon and evening: transferring files, installing software, and the like, and forgot to take a photo for the day. I took this photo very, very late. I was so tired when I took it, I did not realize it was a little crooked. I could have straightened it, but being a little off has its charms. : [B]My New Toy[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83345._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
