It's baaaaack!

The camera. The memory card. And, most importantly, the pictures.

They all arrived (safe and sound) in the mail this afternoon. No surprises. I still can't believe it, but am glad to have the photos and movies which had almost been lost forever.

On a side note, I saw a young woman (24 years old) nearly die right in front of me this morning. She is a diabetic who relies on an insulin pump to help keep her sugar levels in check. Anyway, she hadn't eaten for several hours in the morning (around 11am) and was under a little bit of stress (buying a new car), and she simply tanked. . . FAST! Actually, she began convulsing first, then she stopped breathing (turning her lips and face first blue, then ashen gray.)

I thought she was going to die.

She didn't. . . and responded very rapidly to very intensive and immediate treatment. But man, it was scary to see.
