The humor part of the linked story aside, to continue with this bailout nonsense AND to dictate who may work for a company just spells S-T-U-P-I-D.

Back home things have turned cold again!  Looks a little something like this:

Meanwhile, our weather here is warm (hot).  Shovel your snow suckers! ha!

Actually, some snow would be good right about now.  :(

There were several fish that came with the house.  Some have passed on, some were added later.  The two largest fish have been there since the beginning and are BIG. 

That brings the total to 7 fish BUT at some point a “baby” fish showed up.  So… actually its 8 fish!

Sorry, no this is NOT a song by Neil Diamond or even related.  :)  Instead, this is an Indian ceremony I heard called, “Puberty Ceremony”

I blanked out the faces and only took a few pics but you get a rough idea of the scene.  You can read about a someone else and their experience here.  Not sure if its exactly the same but if not, very close.

The above pic is the “set” along with our 1st round of grilled meat.  We had two servings of pork and one beef.  I thought it was good.  Not the best-food-ever but the service was good.  Staff always right there but not imposing or in the way.

I took the pic to show roughly what you might expect to see in a case like this.  Sorry there are no faces shown clearly – heh.  I was in a hurry.

Of course the best part is always the company you keep.  :)

Its an interesting layout they have.  I had been there years ago but didn’t remember the boats!  Oops.  Anyway, was there to pick up some software (that turned out to be faulty) but first we needed some lunch – yea!   Not sure what happened with the pics – still sorting out settings….

Canal? Moat?  Not sure but the concept is similar to what you find in Genting or even Austin TX.   Then on to Nando’s!  Burn up those coupons!

I didnt take a pic of the appetizer but I always get their grilled chicken sausages either alone or with the veggies/chips. 

Anyway, this was the Grilled Chicken Salad the Mrs had.  Not bad, but kinda spicy for “just” a salad.  Went well with a cold coke.

I had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and a side of Peri Potato Salad.  The chicken was nice, the bread VERY good, but the chicken portion was disappointing.  Potato salad was so-so.

On the K750 I went through a few of these.  The 1st one lasted a long time but after two more I stopped using them.  Not long after, the case started looking really really rough.

For the C902, I tried a Crystal case but on the FIRST full day in the case by boss drops the phone forming a few small cracks in the cover.  Not long after it started losing bits here and there.  Superglue delayed things a few days but eventually had to stop using.

Now Im using one of those rubbery slip on covers.  Hope it does better!

  The below is a shot of a few beetles and a bus I took recently.  The full size shot is larger but not “better” as clarity at 100% is not a good thing for large MP lenses found in cameras.  :)  Instead clicking gets you a reasonable 1024x768

This is a closer view of the kombi.  Color reproduction by the C902 is very good here as the red is a good match to actual color.  This image is much smaller as I didn’t have a larger version handy.  Sorry!  Still a good pic even though its in the shade.

Last fillup…. :drumroll: …

34.34 MPG or about 14.6 km per/l !

I have been using a Sony K750i from Sony for quite a while.  Its what most pictures here are taken with as well as others I use elsewhere.  The K750 had casing issues and the screen was in constant danger of seperating from the phone body!  Also, was acting up lately and the memory card fell out.  bleh.  Time to replace!

On the left you can see the old phone next to my new phone.  As the title says, its the C902.  I took the picture with yet ANOTHER Sony phone – the W880 my wife uses.

The new phone is MUCH thinner but a little longer. Shown here it has one of those clear cases on it so it may not appear so thin.

Image taken in low light @ 7:30pm, no flash, and fixed focus.  It is not a Cybershot phone but does ok.   Image has been adjusted in Photoshop and resized smaller

The C902 has a 5MP camera which is the primary feature I was looking for.  The below is NOT an attempt to showcase the camera but you can definity tell it takes better photos than the W880 under similar conditions.   The slightly more washed out appearance comes from the lower lighting conditions… Im just comparing clarity in the photo.  If you want a full phone review this isnt it. 

Image taken @ 9:30pm with flash disabled.  Room was slightly darker.  Also adjusted in PS then resized. 

Next to the old phone is the W880.  It also is very thin and slightly longer bodied.  Strange that even though the W880 is similar to the C902, it uses a plastic casing compared to the metal casing on my new phone.  Makes the C902 much heavier.
