Whistle at the curve on that horizon, and appreciate that relatively pure atmosphere. The Zeiss Lens company should send me a check for this unsolicited advertising. Jade and the ocean are green into eternity.
This functional, U.S. Coast Guard-maintained lighthouse has an outstanding, interior, spiral staircase.	Best picture of the day - this 5"x7" print is on my bar, along with the landscape version of its Patagonian match in liquid color.	Lifetime award: Ugliest Thing on a Tree (for this dubious award, this photo beat the picture of the Ugly Lizard on a Plant)
This shot's fleeting subtlety makes it the second-best photo of the batch.		This shot would make a great jigsaw puzzle, I think. Of course, as too many of you know, another great think of mine was that the 2003 Oakland Raiders would win that year's Superbowl.	This picture will lend itself well to alternative processing. It's a candidate for emulsion transfer onto a micro-tiled surface, or perhaps reflective wrap. In an infinite universe, I could even paint it after transfer. More later.

Although the weather was fractiously cloudy when not overcast, I managed to capture these shots around the lighthouse near Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The spray was like a living being!

As a service to punters, I advise against playing blackjack in the Mayaguez Casino, the only advertised casino between Ponce on the southwest coast, and San Juan on the northeast coast. (For gaming, stay in San Juan or one of the few casino-capable resorts around the island.) The Mayaguez Resort and Casino is well-sponsored, bragging on their Continental Airlines international resort status, and hosting many local, upscale functions. However, the facilities are tired, and the casino itself apparently targets local morons. For instance, after dealing every hand, the dealers ask sloooowly, "Insurance?", polling each player. They usually collect pure profit from at least one of the five or six players. This donating yokel is firmly convinced that the dealer is surreptiously tipping off the player, even though the dealer performs the same theater with every player, on every hand. The dealers therefore also garner malintended tips. The dealers are evidently trained to treat players as well-intentioned but stupid dogs. Therefore, if you're a smart dog, you will not be able to play your blackjack game at your usual, faster pace.
