The larger one is the Power Shot SX39 IS. It's got a 35X optical zoom. I like it. :-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30802444.post-25932010265153412232012-03-09T16:10:32.056-06:002012-03-09T16:10:32.056-06:00I find I'm not much bothered by the recent ups...I find I'm not much bothered by the recent upsurge in gas prices. As one of the few one-car families remaining in America, my wife and I have usually been pretty good about planning our trips and seldom drive more than 150 miles in a typical week.<br /><br />There was no doubt in my mind when we decided to destabilize Iraq in 2003 that gas would go up. If the result of that war can be to help switch us to better mileage and alternative fuels, that might be the one silver lining of that ugly unnecessary war.JHawk23http://www.morning-fog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30802444.post-76981931382315501012012-03-09T14:16:49.705-06:002012-03-09T14:16:49.705-06:00When I was a kid the price of a gal. of gas was ju...When I was a kid the price of a gal. of gas was just about the same as a pack of cigarettes. Both about 35 cents. Now a gal. of gas costs $4, but cigarettes are over $8!<br /><br />I've given up smoking.

We're paying $4.35 -- on our way to $5 here in northeast L.A. County. Yuk!<br /><br />We have had to pump our own gas for years now. Very few stations offer repair shops -- have converted to mini-stores. Makes me most unhappy in my older age as I really want and need the full service you describe.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30802444.post-60124734112662138372012-03-08T11:26:17.835-06:002012-03-08T11:26:17.835-06:00I just double-checked, and found I surely am in Mi...I just double-checked, and found I surely am in Michigan.
