This is a [poor] photo of the sweater that I entered in the Western Idaho Fair a couple of weeks ago. The attendant who took the entry felt that I should enter it in the "Made By Men" division; she must have been right. The sweater took a blue ribbon for first place, plus the other rosette for "Best in Division". They also awarded the sweater "Best Use of Texture".
I'd like to say that, because of all of these awards, I'm now filthy rich... but at five dollars for each one I'm not planning on retiring anytime soon.
The one thing I did figure out while trying to photograph this sweater is that one of my digital cameras is no longer working correctly. It's the one we use when we go bicycling as it's small and compact, and fits easily into the back pocket on my cycling jersey. Suddenly the images have lines running the length of the image, as if someone took a comb and ran it along the photo, and each tooth was an eraser that left a blank line in its wake.
Now the debate begins... do I pay to have this one repaired, or spend almost double that amount and go get a new one, the features of which will far surpass the one I'm using now? Interesting debate... one that I'll have to figure out later!
This is the weekend of Labor Day, another questionable "Holiday" that I'd rather be working. We take the day off to honor the laborers, and then go back to work a day later and have double the mail volume to deliver, thus laboring twice as hard. Somewhere I just don't see the sense in this!
