GREAT CAMERA VALUE
Always looking for the best value for the money, I came across the Canon SD200 for $170 with no rebates, a very small camera that fits on your belt or in your pocket. It is 3.2MP and 3x optical zoom. Jim Cook has one and is very positive about it, it is small enough he carries it on his belt. Use promotional code ELPHCASEFREE for a free camera case (expires midnight Nov 27). I also received a Shutterfly Coupon for 25 free 4-by-8-inch photo cards from Shutterfly. With tax and shipping (both free) plus gift wrap ($6.95 for both) it was $176.86.

OUR NEWER TELEPHONE NUMBER
Each winter we get a new telephone number. Our telephone started ringing right away with calls from collection agencies for Mr Rodriguez. When we got the collect calls from the Cameron County Correctional Institution, we decided it was time to get our number changed. The newest number is 956-361-0003.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS AND CAMERA BASICS
A large collection of articles very easy to follow. I learned the use of a histogram.

DOWNLOADING PHOTOS
I am asked how I transfer my pictures from the camera to the computer. I use a card reader, just take the card from the camera, place in the reader and they show up as a drive on the computer. Saves camera battery power and I think is faster than cords, etc.

BEST SHOPPING DAY NOVEMBER 25
I did go out, not before 6:30 though. Office Depot was open at 6 AM, I arrived at 7 AM. The crowds were not there and plenty of customer service people. They had the battery back-up power supplies ($15 AR) I wanted and a few other items so I do have some rebates to do. Nice sleeping in and not having to fight the crowds.
