  1. Okay so you have that old cruiser in the garage, and you just can't
    bear to send her to the scrapyard yet. Well here is yet another use for
    your old bikes. http://kcm-home.tripod.com/interesting_things

  2. I'm going to have to send that photo to my PC and blow it up, the
    subject is too small a part of it to see even on my 20" screen.

    I didn't see much today except rain. Needless to say, I wasn't cycling.

    You need the "Image Zoom" extension for Firefox

  4. Just click on the "View Image Full Size" button.

  6. I guess maybe I should use the zoom feature of the camera for ease of
    viewing for those of use with the poor eyesight gene.. I don't like to
    make it too obvious what I am taking pictures of sometimes. Some people
    tend to get all herky jerky when people start taking pictures of thier
    houses and property.

    Zoom is nice, but cropping this pic between putting it on your computer
    and posting would have been fine, too. The full-size view shows the bike
    clearly, but we don't really need much beyond a crop of the bicycle and
    maybe the tree beside it to provide context. The other 2-odd megabytes
    coming from this slow-loading web host were extraneous to the purpose of
    the photo.

    I can tell from your site's listing of multiple anti-spyware solutions
    that you're using a PC. On that platform Picasa is a free
    photo-organizer program of remarkable merit, and it has a perpetually
    undoable crop tool (Picasa stores the original version of your photo,
    and saves any edits to it in some way that retains the original.

    I have a photo editing program, I don't use it that much. I am just too lazy
    to use it. But I am sure you are right about the extra 2 mb of photo that is
    not of interest. And probably right about the slow web server.
