Record the meeting, take notes of the meeting, Facebook the fact you are at the meeting, FB and twitter if they actually make news, and shoot manual? No, cannot do all that. I barely do the rest, and I thank the gods for that recorder... or I would only be able to take notes.

at Council?

Serious, I am on a first name basis with the floor manager. He has two kids, we have two birds, we laugh.

Ok, when we had the Filner scandal we even had NATIONAL press from as far as New York show up in this culdesac, and get most of it wrong.

I'm not good with black & white. Not so good at photographing plants either for that matter, so I didn't submit an entry. Now that I see the competition, it's just as well.

Nicely done!
