Read more…Charleston, South Carolina
I visited my step-daughter who is living near Charleston and brought her a Maltese to replace her pride and joy who had died from old age. I don't know about living there in the heat of the Summer but, Charleston is a lovely place to visit in the Sp

Last year, I know we had a discussion on how we are backing up all of our data. Several companies were mentioned and I went with SOS Online backup. Did anyone else?

I have been using Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries in my flash units for many years now because they gave me more flashes than did non-rechargeable batteries like Energizer alkaline batteries.
