I'm thinking an out-of-focus photo of half my shoe might be a contender.

Or maybe I'll turn the Rule of Thirds into the Rule of Eighths.

I wonder what the reading would be at the beaches around here. The water temperature in the Gulf Of Mexico around Tampa is 90 degrees! In Tampa Bay itself, it is 92. I have never seen water temperatures this warm. At this time of the year, they are usually in the mid 80's.

I actually received a package from him today. I probably won't open it until Saturday evening when I get back from the show. I didn't hear any ticking from inside the box, so there is that.
