[Hallicrafters] Blind Man With Digital Camera

I just spent, maybe wasted, two hours taking digital images of this Raytheon
tube caddy for several of you 'who just had' to see it. Want to spend a fun
Friday evening? Get your wife to wrap your face with duct tape, she will
probably enjoy this part!, find your digital camera, no fair finding it when you
can still see. Then try to guess the amount of light in the room, the angle of
reflection, proper camera lens angle, proper distance, if you are pointing at
the object or the waste basket full of trash you forgot to empty earlier ... 
And remember to put the 3.5 inch diskette into the camera before trying to take
images. Don't forget to take the lens cover off! Makes the images real dark! Oh
yes, remember to turn the camera on!	
	
I am going to go order myself a pizza and listen to the raindrops splash on the
metal trash can with lid outside the kitchen window. The tube caddy looks very
nice, even if my digital images appear otherwise! Who cares if the handle has a
little crack in it or the vinyl has a few wear spots? It is supposed to be used
to haul tubes around, not a prop for the local beauty pageant!	
	
Now if I could just get a shot of that nineteen year old female sun bathing in
two dots and a dash -
