Message #17560 of 18360  *NEW* To From Subject Date All Thomas Canty Did you miss me? 8/21/07, 12:49pm I've been offline for almost a week while I was in the process of moving. I now live in Palmdale (it's a dry heat!) in a much nicer building and neighborhood than my old place. I just got cable hooked up this morning. The Internet speed is awesome! Much better than my old DSL access. The TV picture sure is clear, too. That might have something to do with the fact that I'm watching it on my brand new Sony Bravia 32" high-def LCD TV with 1080 pixels of resolution and 8000:1 contrast ratio. I also got a DVR with the cable access, so I can start recording and watching everything. That's going to take some getting used to since I haven't even had cable TV in almost three years. So... Where do I start? -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #17560 • Back to Topics

With your new DVR, I would suggest you start out your trek with the Travel channel. I'm sure you'll find a bunch of stuff that will suit your fancy. Are you still working at St. Joe's, or have you moved on to greener (hotter?) pastures? -------------------------------------------------------- "Treat the Earth not as if it was given to you by your parents, but as if it was lent to you by your children." - Kenyan Proverb "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those that do not have it." - George Bernard Shaw -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #17561 • Back to Topics

I wonder if Samantha Brown still has her show on the Travel channel. I'll find out soon enough... >Are you still working at St. Joe's, or have you moved on to >greener (hotter?) pastures? I'm still at Saint Joe's, so I'll have a bit of a commute now. I've downloaded a ton of audiobooks from Librivox and Audible.com, so I'll be doing a lot of "reading" (listening) now. When I moved up here, I noticed there is a large medical center under construction about two miles north of me. It looks like it's going to be a huge complex and they've just barely begun construction, so it'll probably be a couple years before it opens. I should probably submit my resume when they do start looking for people, though. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #17562 • Back to Topics

You might also want to check into openings at Boeing and for the government.

You >might also want to check into openings at Boeing and for the >government. It was kind of sudden. I'd been wanting to move for years, but just always dragged my heels and put it off. I heard about this apartment building a couple weeks ago, and after thinking about it for almost a whole week, I decided to take the plunge and finally do it. It feels soooo wonderful to get out of the Valley! Yeah, the commute is a bit long, but I have plenty of audio books to keep me occupied. The best part, though, is I'm a lot closer to the San Gabriel Mountains and desert areas where I like to spend so much time. I think this is also quite a bit closer to the San Bernardino Mountains, but I haven't actually looked that up on the map just yet. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #17564 • Back to Topics

Some friends of mine own a sport fishing equipment company in Palmdale at Ave. R and Sierra Hwy. If you're into aircraft, the Antelope Valley is a great place for aircraft watching. Be sure to check out Blackbird Park near the airport. -------------------------------------------------------- " I lift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.", Psalm 121 -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #17565 • Back to Topics
