Ok, have a few minutes to catch up

I took my dear friend who is moving to AZ to Oakland yesterday as I'm on vacation from work and the rest of the family went to Six Flags. We not only had a wonderful time but we had some occurances as well. All the occurances happened in the area of the cemetery that I've never felt welcome in, the Confederate Burial Grounds.

Well, I had been snapping pictures since we got there but when I tried to take my first photo there, my camera turned off and rewound the film. I was close to the end but I still about 4 shots left before I had to change rolls. (I don't have a digital camera folks, sorry.) I loaded the film myself so I know I loaded it in such a way as to get the maximum pictures taken per roll. There is also nothing wrong with the camera. It's nearly new. Several times, I took photos careful to have the flash off because it was bright and sunny out but the flash would go off in a few of the shots. I was also careful to keep the camera lense clean.

Once we left that area of the cemetery, my camera acted normally again. Cant wait to show the pictures. want to catalog them and get them ready for formal viewing. I'm thinking of having a formal viewing party at my house in October.

Just for fun, I'm signing up for the 5K "Run Like Hell" that Oakland hosts every year. :)
