Saw this in my hometown newspaper and thought of you:


"The Mercer County Retired Teachers met on Friday, Oct. 31 at the New
Windsor Presbyterian Church.

The church women prepared an excellent meal consisting of chicken casserole,
lime Jello, rolls, and apple cake with a cream sauce."

Well, there you have it! So, the Presbyterian ladies are cooking like
the Minnesota Lutherans. "That's different."

No problem. :-) I haven't uploaded anything to my website yet. I
suppose I should. I'm still regrouping. Had to take a friend to the
doc yesterday in OUR snowfall. Something about our biggest December
snowfall in 20 years.

Someone contributed 2 (count them, two!) photos for one of my web
sites. 5.4Mb of 2 pics of peoples' backs!! Took me 22 minutes to
d'load the msg.

What is it you say? Lissenup? All you fancy-schmancy broadband people
with whoop-de-do zillion-pixel cameras, take a minute to crop and see
if you don't have a photo app with a 'resize' feature. For making
photo prints or for offline publication, the more detail, the better.
For display on web sites, pics of 5,000 to 40,000 bytes is good. Many
photo apps will let you choose the degree of JPEG compression, and you
can compress to a fare-thee-well while retaining a nice image. (Watch
out for red areas.)

I did re-size & crop...that is why Barb only got a MB's worth for 4
photos. I do have to admit, though, I took three photos & turned them
into a panoramic view of the whole room...it did have a drawback,
though, in that it looks as if Rodney M. only has half a right
hand...otherwise it was a nifty playtime photo.

My msg wasn't meant to be any particular criticism. If you went to the
trouble to panoramize, I'm sure it's worth it (maybe not to Rodney
:-). And 1Mb isn't too bad, really. A few of my correspondents whom I
don't feel at liberty to criticize except at long intervals, keep
sending giant files in un-translatable formats of not-anything-much.
It turns out the "5.4Mb of people's backs" sender was "in a hurry" and
actually sent some quite decent and interesting (and smaller) pics
later. Just don't send me a 2Mb enclosure in .mix format of a hole
your dog dug in the back yard. No, I'm not kidding.

Gulp! I'll try that again...I sent yours when I sent Barb's (I sent to
Margaret, too). I will re-send.
