Issue #99 - October/November 2009
  I Forgot to Remember

For the first time since I started doing these updates I COMPLETELY forgot to update Elsewhere.  I went eight years without missing a update, through bad times and good.  But this past October I missed the update.  I didn't even realize until the 19th of Oct. that I had missed the previous update.  Suffice to say, I've been super busy.  There has been nothing but one crisis after another lately, which has taken my attention away from this.  But, this is a time of change for me, and perhaps it's time to think about the viability of updating this newsletter.

Vista Drive served me well for the last eight years, but once again, for the first time in eight years I won't be updating Vista Drive.  I've started a new endeavor known as IMAGE_171.  The new site won't be ready until the beginning of the new year, but I'm already working on it and I promise that it will be filled with wonderful photographs.
 

Afterthoughts : September - October

Lately I've used this space to update you all on what has been going on in my life over the last month.  In this case I'll be updating you about what has been going on in the last two months, because I completely forgot to update Elsewhere last month.  Suffice to say these past couple of months have been hectic.  I've had to deal with school, work, car problems, as well as plumbing problems.  It has left very little time for me to just sit at my computer and write about what is going on.

Let me just say that these past two months have been one mini-crisis after another.  Our pipes died and we had to replace them.  As I write this the work isn't completely done, though we have all new pipes now.  Also as I write this my car is at the mechanic's.  But not the JoeMobile, that died a couple of weeks ago.  I decided to fix the Subaru after the JoeMobile died, because it would be "cheaper." Turns out that sitting in the front yard for two years will cause some problems with things like the transmission.  Right now the car sits in the shop waiting for a new transmission.  The JoeMobile is no more, but the Subaru will come back... I hope.

So yes, this is the reason that I didn't update this page last month.  I almost missed this month, to tell you the truth.  But, I endeavor to write down little things about what's going on.
 

Etcetera : Reciprocity

For eight years I updated the portion of this site known as Vista Drive.  A couple of months back I decided that it was time to move on and start a new site.  But the bigger news is that my works will be on display from mid November till mid January 2010.  It is the culmination of eight years of work on my part, and marks the end of Vista Drive and the start of IMAGE_171 (my new photographic site).  I hope any of you who still read this newsletter will go to the Crowell public library in that time to view my works.  Thank you.
