Thanks for the update on the neighborhood. You might try looking for a used Nikon 990--what we use. I suppose they would be in the neighborhood of $400 now, used, Sounds great.

I don't know if that's even the best one, either. And I shot out the window. If you look, you can see the window glare, I'm sure. I've got tons! I thought they were so awesome, and everytime you thought they were done, there were more. Then I ran out of memory, so I was frantically trying to delete pics that weren't so good. And in response to Tod(d), I did some tooling around today, checking out places to shop, and also making sure I could get to the Bee OK. It's a large city, obviously, especially to someone used to South Bend/Niles. I live in an interesting neighborhood, one that's been revitalized. The apartment itself is clean, and nice. Hopefully I'll have room for all my stuff. I didn't bother to unpack anything today, so I need to see how my stuff all fits in. Bah! I've got a dishwasher and garbage disposal! Yeah! Central air/heat! There are elephants running above my head; I guess there are a lot of families in this complex, because I've seen a lot of kids. Including the ones running around. But in a way, it's comforting, because there's human contact from above. Mind you, I'm not actually in the mood to make friends right now. But so far, Fresno and the apartment both seem doable. I think it'll be fine living and working here. And hopefully, within a month or two, I can buy my own digital and start roaming around and shooting stuff that isn't out of car windows. See!

We must have taken windmill pictures for at least an hour on our trip, but it would have been hard not to as they look so cool!

Aren't those turbines cool? I have at least a few pix of them that sooner or later I'll put on my blog. Your apartment looks great; what are your thoughts about the general area? What's your state of mind? Excited, nervous, curious? Just got in from a day-long seminar on finding academic jobs–exhausting but useful. . . Aren’t those turbines cool?
