I can't help but notice how much attention deviantART members have given to images of my favorite model, Carlotta Champagne. It is no wonder, because she is truly a gorgeous creature. It just occurred to me that some of you may be interested in checking out her web site, [link]

Carlotta posts a new set of images every week. Members can also download past sets, and the membership fee is truly modest. She also has a weekly web chat with members.

I want to make it clear that, although she uses many of my photographs, I have no commercial interest in this site. I just want to see more people have an opportunity to become better acquainted with the work of a very classy lady.

I suppose many have their own favorite method for predicting the vagaries of the economy. I’ve always suspected that the economists who are most often quoted by the press pundits actually use tea leaves.

For the sake of anyone who may find it useful, I shall now reveal my own method, tested by vast weeks-long experience. This funky old desert tree (click the link) used to be totally bare of fauna. Not even crows would light there. But just before the Dow dipped below 9,000, lo-and-behold, one lone buzzard could be found perched there in the same place, day-after-day. Then just before the Dow dipped below 8,000, he was joined by a companion, who remained rooted to that second spot.

This weekend, I was terrified to discover that they had been joined by a third. Sure enough, came today the bleak news of the Dow dipping below 7,000. Spooky, huh? I’ll keep you informed if any more buzzards land.
