[Rich]

Greetings all. A beautiful blue sky day here in the great state of South Dakota. Temps are modifying to fall. Maybe the trees will start to change color. This from a trip to The Balloon Festival In Albuquerque, NM.  It is called a night burn if I remember right.

Hi Rich.

That's quite an eye-grabbing photo. Lovely colors, very nice range of values, and a solid composition. Nice job!

I don't have any shots to share but I did take some photos about an hour ago. So if any turned out OK, maybe I'll have something worth sharing tomorrow.

I've becomed convinced that our health care system is broken. I have to deal with my doctor's office (which is 100% unreachable by phone), the Optum network that my Dr. belongs to, my health insurance company, any specialists my doctor refers me to, and sometimes my online pharmacy. And none of them communicate together well. So getting anything accomplished usually takes days and many hours on the phone. Terrible system!

Thank you Dave!
Will be looking for your photos.

Sorry to hear of your troubles with the system. Health Care is alive and well here. No problems.
