A Taking The Motorcycle Down To The Packy Christmas

Abdullah here.

As you know, Smurfs get very busy during the holiday season. Have no fear, though... Stacey now has a staff to do her grunt work for her.

To the guy I talked to last night... I'm not actually a real photographer, so forgive my difficulties with Light and stuff. I may be knocking on your door during the day this week, asking you to inflate these bad boys so I can get a proper picture.

 

Not a lot of people know this, but Santa only takes the reindeer out on the 24th. The rest of the year, he gets around on a Fat Boy.

 

You'd be jolly too if you could get Old New England Chocolate Egg Nog for $7.99 a liter.

 

What really brought Nicholas to Mayflower Liqours in Wareham (on Rte 6, opposite Sun On The Run tanning!) was the opportunity to get screwball drunk off some Tim Wakefield wine.

Why waste good money on French wine when you can get some Caberknuckle for $11.99? Longball Vineyards did wine for Tim, Curt Schilling and Manny Ramirez.. I think it benefits some charity or something.

Here's the link... see for yourself....Charity Hop Fundraising & Baseball Consulting - Charity Wines & Longball Vineyards

While I can live or die without Schilling Schardonnay, I'll smash open my daughter's piggy bank to ensure that I have enough money to get some Manny Being Merlot when Mayflower has some in stock. One must have priorities...

Very good entry and quite timely.  Your difficulty with photographing Christmas lights might be quite easy to fix.  If you can adjust the ISO on your camera, go to the highest number you can, probably around 400 or 800.  That will make the camera much more sensitive to light, and will speed your shutter up.  That is the problem you are facing, the shutter is too slow, and you are hand holding the camera.  Any motion at all in your hands will cause the lights to blur and drag as you see here.  Short of using a tripod, or other stable device, your only choice is to get a faster shutter speed.  I will be more than happy to help you achieve this if you would like to discuss it in more depth.

Is it true that the pilgrims decided to stay at Plymouth instead of going on and trying to get to Virginia where they were really headed for two reasons -- the fact that it was late in the year and the fact that the Mayflower was out of beer?  I don't know why, but I kind of thought you might know.
