The feds seem to have a different take on that nowadays, hiding
behind the Stormtrooper (oops, I mean Homeland Defense) folks,
claiming national security. I've heard reports than anyone
taking too many pictures near a major convention center, capitol
building, bridge, or any other facility they decide
(arbitrarily) might be a security threat can get harassed quite
a bit, especially in the larger cities and of course, New York.

Some ****** in the New Jersey state Senate just tried to introduce a bill
that would outlaw photographing, videotaping, or even *observing* a
nuclear power plant, sewage treatment plant, water treatment plant,
chemical plant, airport, or similar facility.

We get the government we deserve. :-(

You should have driven to the top of the volcano.

Ron, I'm guessing you're an American...?

Meaning what, exactly? I can't wait to hear this one.

Most people of other nationalities would climb a volcano. You know, pull
on boots and use their legs to propel themselves up the side of it? This
results in exercise and a sense of personal achievement. I figured only
an American would recommend driving up one.

Must be nice to have time to hike a hundred miles on your vacation. You
_do_ understand that this is a _large_ mountain, from its base to its
summit it is the tallest in the world and the only thing that stops it from
being higher than Everest is that its base is 18,000 feet below sea level.

And the fat population outnumbers the fit population 3000:1.

Perhaps you need to get out of the Golden Corral "All you can eat"
restaurant and meet more people. The Gummint's own statistics don't put
50% as "fat."

Go run Boston or do an Ironman and you may even carry a small digital
camera as I do.

Fellow I used to work with ran the Boston a while back on a bar bet. He was
still hung over when he started. Finished it too. Walked like
Frankenstein for the next week or so. Took a lot of ribbing, another
fellow with the same last name won it that year.

Don't assume all Americans are out of shape. OTOH I could run about 3 miles
on the best day of my life and I wasn't good for much afterward.
