The trees on Avery Avenue are in full bloom right now. I decided to play around with a picture in photoshop. What you see is the side by side view of the original and the photoshopped version. Click the pic for a larger view. Don’t be afraid to leave me a comment on the tweaked picture.
The things that can be done with digital photgraphy, a PC and some software are amazing.

Iraq Funding Bill to Hit Senate Floor - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON - A must-pass spending bill to pay for the rising costs of the war in
Iraq and for additional hurricane aid for the storm-ravaged Gulf Coast to debut on the Senate floor to poor reviews from conservatives over its massive cost.
ADVERTISEMENTThe $106.5 billion bill has ballooned by almost $15 billion over
President Bush’s February request, and that figure could grow as senators of both parties press amendments to add money for border security and medical care for veterans.The White House, itself — despite its own concerns about the measure’s spiraling cost — plans to ask as early as Tuesday for about $2 billion more to repair and strengthen levees in and around New Orleans.
The measure is expected to eventually pass with ease, but not before the Senate takes ample time to discuss Iraq policy, gasoline prices and lawmakers’ appetites for homestate projects.
This is just another nail in the coffin of our economy. It will bring us one step closer to the inevitiable “crash and burn”.

Rumsfeld sued over Pentagon’s recruiting database - Yahoo! News
Six New York teen-agers sued Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld on Monday, alleging the U.S. Department of Defense broke the law by keeping an extensive database on potential recruits.
The suit in federal court in Manhattan follows a series of allegations last year of misconduct by recruiters, who have experienced difficulty meeting targets because of the war in Iraq.
The Pentagon last year acknowledged it had created a database of 12 million Americans, full of personal data such as grades and Social Security numbers, to help find potential military recruits.
