First off, Piper is responding to treatment at the vet. Eating and drinking and the prognosis is good. Not sure when I can get her tomorrow, and snow is coming in, and they close at 1200. At the worst she would spend the weekend. I walk around the house wondering where she is, forgetting, can't imagine when she's really gone.

I ran across one of my previous cool cameras in a drawer the other day, it's a Sony DSC-RX 100/B that I bought back in 2005, and took on many adventures. It still had a charge and works great. One of the first small cameras to have a 1" sensor, with a great menu system.

I just watched a video running through all of the features and realized that back then I just shot in Auto Mode. Now I shoot in Aperture Priority mode with ISO Auto, unless I need a 100 ISO with a tripod. The guy in the video I watched was running full manual, adjusting ISO and Aperture on the fly, too much for me, but I did discover the control ring on the front allows for Aperture adjustment. Suddenly this little camera is my new, fit in my pocket, friend!

It has a Carl Zeiss lens and still sells on Amazon for $300.
