Greetings Readers
I guess let me set the scene. Me and Tracey were biking along Dry Creek road this morning heading to work...
Side note - When you are cycling in the city or out in the suburbs you tend to find a lot of things in the gutters or on the road. Well, besides the literal trash (fast food leftovers a plenty) I find money (And yes I pick up every fucking penny!) A penny is a penny and a quarter is a quarter. Legal tender baby. There is also work gloves, clothes, pens, those "little" American flags that people stick on their vehicles, car emblems, hats, dead birds, squashed squirrels and roadkill rabbits and then my favorite - cell phone remains. I am not sure why there is cell phone remains at almost every corner. I see them, but that is about all I do. I could care less about if they work or not.
... when I noticed what looked to be another cell phone that was destroyed and ended up in the gutter. I gave the item a secondary look and proceeded to continue East on Dry Creek. As I was turning my head forward I noticed that the item reflected a lot more light than a cell phone should. I immediately stopped and pulled onto the sidewalk. I walked back to the where I saw the item. I looked closer and bent down to pick up the item. Lo and Behold - it is a camera. A digital camera. A nice digital camera, according to my co-workers. I have to say it is nice now. I did some research at lunch and I did find that the camera does retail for over $ 200.00 (Sorry readers, I can not be specific should someone says it is their camera they will need to identify the camera).
Now, the questions of morals come into play. What is the right thing to do. What should I do. What does my background tell me to do. Yes, interesting questions.
I do have to say that there are two people walking around in the world with two pairs of Oakleys M Frame Sunglasses that I left/lost and someone did not return to me.
To me, this item could be justification of those two Oakleys I lost in the past 6 years.
Anyhow, I will most likely keep this and learn more about it. I am not a digital fan - I am old school. I believe in the 35mm and still use to this day. I know there is a difference, but I can not tell you from experience, since I have never had a digital camera. I guess I will see and perhaps my pictures will come from that. As oppose to the picture discs that I get when I turn in my 35mm film for processing.
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to me. Right?
I worked out at CAC tonight and I did a pretty good work out. I enjoyed the workout since I new I had a "new" gift to play with tonight. Woo Hoo. Also my biceps are definitely getting bigger. I can actually see and feel it. What did my co-worker say once? Oh "Thunder" & "Python"
I have also decided that I am going to try the 24 hours of Boulder. I have started the training already in the past week and I think that I should be in okay condition by next month. Here is the website in case any of you readers are interested www.geminiadventures.com. This will be "a walk in the park"
Until the next time
