I am not a robot. But I am a photographer sort of. When I worked at my local community newspaper I would take about a hundred photos a week (hockey teams, dance class, awards, car accidents, political candidates, you name it. Always had to have everyone in the photo clearly identified, left to right, names spelled correctly, it took hours to gather all that information. And then maybe only one or two of the photos would actually be selected for the weekly paper. Verlie

Yes, indeed!

Our local papers almost never even try to post the kids' name anymore, just "(Name of team) Player Makes Winning Touchdown" or "Name of school" Student Accepted at Stanford."

Gosh, I wish I were permitted to edit my own comments on my own site. I botched the previous note.

And the prove-you're-not-a-robot thingie seems to be an especially difficult eye test!
