Breathing again
I have returned to an almost snow-free Midwest. Lots of fog as the remains of the snow melts forever in the 60° warmth. Well, some of us think that's warm!
I had heart palpitations when I went to unpack my camera. I pushed its little "on" button and all I got was a spasm of movement and brief glimmer of LED light, then nothing! I keep a spare battery so I tried that, and the results were the same! I was in a panic now. It may not be the greatest camera (it's a few years old, of course) as it has been lapped by far cheaper models, but still, I paid big bucks for it - and, here is the kicker - it is out of warranty! Fortunately for me, I let the thing charge in its stand for a couple of hours and it is fine. I suppose it got "turned on" in my luggage and discharged. The "spare" battery never gets used so it was also discharged.
I called my kid, and we are going to celebrate the return to normalcy by a dinner at Olive Garden!
