How insensitive!

Just found out a good friend of my wife's just got some more disturbing news. She works for the University of Nebraska Medical Center here in Omaha in the Internal Medicine department as a secretary. She has been battling cancer for some time and was planning on an operation in Iowa City, Iowa that would have left her cancer free. Well the good old UNMC told her that if she left to get the operation that they could not hold her job and she would be fired. Now she can't get the operation because she needs the job to provide a roof over her head.

I have to ask, "How could a medical center be so insensitive to do such a thing"? If anyone out there has any clout or email connections, please bombard this organization.

Do we have Obama to thank for this?

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Hello, it's me again. Just got back from a trip to Ohio to visit relatives. It cost me $700 to tune the van up before I went, and when I got there, $650 for new tires (I new they were iffy before I went but tried to sneak by). Guess I will hope that the weather stays descent so some of those golfers will still play and need my golf cart expertise and I can replenish my funds. anyway, I digress.

I was overwhelmed during the trip by the beautiful fall colors. Of course I didn't get to take many picture of them due to me driving and because of family requirements to do other things. However, I did manage to capture a few images one day while visiting some pumpkin patches. Since I did not have time to enter a panorama image in my camera club competition, I decided to whip one up an put it in here.

I worked it over a little with Nik filters to help punch up the colors a little.

Now that golf season is slowing down I might be able to do a little more photography and blogging. I also have my own domain name now, papagphotos.com , and I will be working on improving my photo selling site. By the way, I choose the domain name because some of my grand kids call me PAPA.This site is pretty cool because you can order prints, matts and fames and view what they look like before purchasing and they handle all the purchasing and shipping parts of the business.

Thanks for stopping by again and don't forget to shop at papagphotos.com .
