Just another vigilante in the meme wars

I'm a level 1 vigilante on PMOG (Passively Multiplayer Online Game). I've created one mission--setting out lightposts, and navigated through a pile of others.

The Rain in Maine...

...falls humanely in the drain. Okay, so me and Alice and the kids drove around southern Maine for a few hours this afternoon. Let me back up and say this all started on my birthday when Alice--kind and wonderful--gave me a zoom lens for my Nikon D40X.

We've been busy and haven't had time--until today--to run out to take a bunch of close-up shots of long range things--and the best place to go for that? That's right. We hit the road for Maine, which is like 8 miles away from us, so not really a journey, but more of a way to spend a few hours, catch an early dinner at Wild Willy's Hamburgers, one of the best hamburger places around, and cruise along the beautiful York coast, snapping photos.

Whaleback light...in the pouring rain:

Looks like a really bad dinghy, skiff and rowboat pile-up...

And here's the cause. The light's always green!

Finally, some important information for those mooring (or planning to dive from the boats) in Kittery Harbor. Click any of the pics to see them larger.
