I got the rest of the camera doodads yesterday so I charged up the batteries and can start learning how the camera works. Of course, the cable I ordered isn't the one I really wanted (my mistake) but I have extra batteries and a charger so one can charge while I use another. Now I just need to figure out how to get the pictures from the camera to the laptop.
August 12--Iran, Plaque with Horned Lion-Griffins. Wings and fangs and horns--the creatures looked like some fantasy geek's ideal. The gold was too gold, too yellow gold, cheap looking. Abe pulled the object out of the crate shoved in the corner of the junk shop. He used his shirt to rub off some of the dust. He turned it over and tilted it in the weak light that penetrated the murk. There were marks, they looked like Arabic and the gold was soft, soft like it was nearly pure. He glanced around and then dug his thumbnail into the back of the plaque. He gouged out a little crescent and was amazed. He looked for a sticker, hesitant to ask the price, afraid he'd betray his eagerness and interest.
Okey-dokey, that's it for me. I'm going to go crochet and watch the rain. Ahhh.
