Valois Bay SuperMoon
Last night the moon was 14% and 30% that it has been in 18 years. So what better night to set up the tripod and 30 year old 400mm Vivitar Pentax prime lens my Buddy Al is letting me hold onto. Photo taken in in the Valois Bay of Montreal, Canada Set Up: Pentax K200D…

Kopi Luwak Coffee: $h!t , That’s Good Coffee!
This is by far the coolest coffee in the world! In fact, I tell just about everyone I meet about Kopi Luwak coffee and no one ever believes me until I email them the Wiki link. It’s amazing that the Royal Family and Oprah would pay $65 a cup to drink something that came out…
