BEST VALUE CAMERA FOR $258 - DMC-FZ1

I ordered the Panasonic DMC-FZ1k with 12 x zoom and it came last week. A great camera for $258. When people asked what camera I would recommend I was not sure, so we formed a camera group that met once a week and discussed digital cameras. After looking at 8 x 10" prints it was determined that 2 megapixels was as much as I needed to print at 8 x 10". The stabilized lens is a great extra and Jack next door ordered one just for that. It smoothes out the jiggles with a gyro. And the 12x zoom is awesome! If you order, please give my name.

SHRIMP FROM THE SHRIMP MAN

Last Wednesday when I went to get veggies from the veggie lady, I stopped by the shrimp man's trailer and looked at the shrimp. They looked mighty good, nice size, and cleaned for $5 a pound for medium, $6 a pound for large.

BIRDING

Pam and I went birding with Glen and Virginia's group to two areas in Weslaco. We had a good time and I got some pictures of the birds.

THE PROM

The park had a prom and it was a great time. Luanne said I didn't put any fun things in the Newsnotes, so this is for her. We will have a contest for the best caption for this picture.
