Perhaps you’ve noticed that I haven’t been as prolific in posting as I’ve been in the past. Just recently. For the last few weeks or so. Well, there is a specific, annoying reason for the absence.
B-a-t-t-e-r-i-e-s
The word that stirs fear deep in the heart of my mom. For some crazy unknown reason, every battery that she puts into the camera dies out after a few furtive attempts at photography. Even this morning, after she bought a new charger for her rechargeable batteries (with new batteries to boot!), all specific for high-drain devices like our little Olympus, and we trotted outside to the park for some fun stick-work… after a few quick shots the damn thing died.
Notice how I try to maneuver dad into staying in the shade? It’s still brutally hot here in SoCal, so if I scoot my butt over to the shady area then it feels a little c-o-o-l-e-r…
I think I’ll just sit here for awhile with this tasty stick dad…
Uh, can we stop throwing it for just a minute? I really wanna sink my teeth into this one…
She’s pulling her hair out over this battery thang (and if you’ve seen her you know, she doesn’t have that much to lose!), and it is causing the world to be denied it’s daily dose of Dale. She’s done a LOT of digital photography over the years and the camera isn’t new… anyone have any idea what to do about the evil batteries?
I suggested burying them out in the park and while she was with me in spirit, when it came time to open the camera to let the little suckers fall into their dusty grave, she just couldn’t do it.
Love,
Bogart
No suggestions on the batteries I’m afraid.
It’s hard to imagine how hot it is there. All it has done here is rain, rain and more rain and it’s so cold and windy. Looking at your photos of sunshine has cheered me & mum up a little though.

Bogie,
You awe so adowable in those pictuwes chasing and chomping the stick in the nice shade of those pwetty twees..your Mommi just has to do something to fix her camewa..we all want to see more of you!
I don’t know what you can do with the nasty battewy, but if your Mommi gets a new camewa, maybe she should get the one my pawents have. It wowks weally well and it’s super easy to chawge and stays for a long time..it’s called a Sony cyber-shot 8.1(I’m not twying to advewtise)..hope you get things fixed and hope the weather gets a little cooler, your poor tongue is going to weach the gwound otherwise.
smoochie kisses
