I got mine! (redux)

What happened to the "I got mine!" thread?

Anyway....I got mine!

I'm going to Hollywood Beach tomorrow to get a picture with me holding the book in front af a Hurricane Wilma-ravaged building. As a bonus the picture will be in front of a store / apartment used as a model in one of my books, Twilight's Knight.

here we go...

Jeepers. the building wasn't even damaged. I heard it was. Oh well good news I guess. My second idea was to go to the Beach Gym and arm wrestle the Owner / Operator / Trainer (one of the biggest dudes I ever met) with the SOS book leaning against our arms (well his arm, mine would look like well-boiled spaghetti scraps).
He was closed down, a bar is in it's place.
Then I looked around for felled trees. All the palms were standing up.
I found one palm that looked pretty bad but as I was setting up the picture I noticed a lady in the background topless. In a town with no hills she stood out too much.....



...so I waited. After awhile I realized she wasn't moving (at least most of her) I desparately sought other signs of mass damage and destruction.
I ended up with a couple.
I'll download them and post them in a few.

East Hollywood / Fort Lauderdale didn't take as much of a hit as those of us on the western limits.

Whoops, too big and too dark. I don't have my editing programs here at work so I'll have to fix it later.

yea right, as long as I stay a matted blot...

HEY!
I get home and the pictures aren't dark at all.
This is a Comcast webpage so the sizing parameters are resident on thier page. I didn't feel like spending time on HTML code so I did a quicky temporary web page with one of thier templates.

I'll do something better when I am bored (whenever the heck that ever happens)

I can just link the pics direct and it will view better.
Gimme a few minny wheats ok?
