The fog lifts!

` It's not actually been cloudy all day... except for the ones slithering past the buildings. They eventually passed, revealing the bright, clear sky above.

` Why am I telling you this? Because I captured this transformation on my CDC (Crappy Digital Camera) and managed to barely shrink/crop them - in a limited way - with MPOCP (Microsoft 'Piece of Crap' Paint).

` See, here's the west view earlier today:


` And later....


` The Abraham Lincoln still isn't back, but at least you can see the Olympics - plus a train is going by under the building.
` Meanwhile, the eastern view went from this:


` To this!


` If you look closely, you can see some seagulls, which were heading my way:


` And as for the north view....


` Baker is finally visible, if you look closely:



` I attempted to take another picture of Baker through the eastern window, but the glaze proved to be a bit dark at an angle and it wound up turning out really odd-looking.
` Now, I really wouldn't have to do any of this photo-retaking anyway if I could only adjust the color of the picture. It is rather ridiculous - this is a computer, after all - and image files are easily rearranged!
` But, no....
` Anyway, later on I went out on a 'picture-taking jaunt' around town. A lot of those photos turned out surprisingly well for my CDC, so I'll have to post them sometime soon.

` Hopefully tomorrow....

` Well, time to find something to eat! Then, maybe I'll start packing. I move to an internet-less place in one week, so won't that be exciting?

` Note: If any of the images do not load on your browser, click vigorously on the space where they ought to be!

` Yes, though I didn't make that much mention of it. It has no view of anything but other houses, unfortunately.

I clicked vigorously one time. I clicked so vigorously it made my clicker raw.

` Curious. Now, heather, Aaron, are you the same person? Or was Aaron sabotaging - er - performing maintenance on heather's blog?
