should have brought my camera

I went out walking in the city today. Rolling my Scalex Map Wheel along the route on a city map indicates about 15km, down the Hank Aaron trail, out to the lake shore and out on the harbor breakwater, a stop at the Alterra Coffee shop for a mocha shake, past the art museum, and eventually back to the car.

I decided that I didn’t want to carry my camera on the walk. A 35mm SLR is a bulky and heavy thing to carry, and I’ve photographed much of this area before, after all, so why bother? Well, crossing the Menomonee River at Emmber Lane, I saw a truck driving down the river. It was some sort of ex-military amphibious truck, with some people in the back having a good time and using their camcorders. Guess I should have taken my camera.

Well, now you've got me thinking of Tom Lehrer's Be Prepared (http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/beprepar.htm) song.

Be prepared, that's the Boy Scouts' solemn creed
Be prepared, and be clean in word and deed
Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice
Unless you get a good percentage of her price
