Some Pictures. Maybe?

Well, I discovered Flickr, but it seems to be in need of some serious UI engineering. I don't know if this will work (since I'm not sure HOW this works, yet), but I tried to put some pictures up from my recent trip to Tucson. There aren't many pictures, because we didn't take many pictures. But Flickr is kind of confusing and tends to put pictures in some kind of random or reverse order, depending on what you click on. I'm not even sure anyone but me can get to the photos...but give it a try and let me know.

Here is the link.

Speaking of pictures, we cleaned out some things and discovered a couple of unidentified rolls of film and decided to have them developed (yes - real film!). I suspect one roll of film came from our old house in Tucson that we sold back in early 2000. We had lived there for three or four years, so that tells you how old this film must be, since we think it was left over from the people we bought the house from.

Well, most of the photos appeared to be from around the desert, though we could not really identify where. But there were a couple of photos of a naked man - someone we don't know - in what looked to be a bit like our old bedroom (we recognized the ugly carpet). It was funny, because my wife opened the pictures and was the first to see them. She pulled them out and quickly put them back in the envelope and tried to hide them, telling me I couldn't see them. She was afraid they were old pictures that she took years ago, even though she didn't recognize the man.

Hmmm...

But then she looked again and looked at the rest of the pictures and then I got to see them (oh joy) and we surmised that the film must have belonged to the previous owners of our house in Tucson.

But how weird to develop someone else's film. We felt both a little violated, somehow, or that we had violated these people. I'm just not used to messing with other people's stuff.

And perhaps it is a word of wisdom to others as well: don't mess with my stuff - it might make you squirm!
