Happy, Happy...Joy, Joy

Well, the title pretty much says it all for how I'm feeling today. For me "today" still means "Saturday" since I haven't gone to bed yet. It's been a beautiful day outside in the high 70s and low 80s. The sun was shining. The sky was fairly cloudless. All that was wonderful, but was only a side thought to my real joy.

My new Nikon CoolPix 4500 digital camera finally arrived yesterday afternoon. Thus, my month of camera-less-ness since my CoolPix 990 died has finally come to an end. I ended up buying the camera at a place called World Wide Direct. Since the camera was out of stock pretty much every other place I called...and their price was so much cheaper than anyone else's...I was sure it must be a scam. But I took the risk and bought the camera there anyway. What can I say? They not only had it in stock...but after paying for the slow 10-business-day FedEx ground shipping...I got the camera in less than 3 days. I think I could safely recommend these guys to anyone. With the mail-in Nikon rebate, I got a camera that normally retails for about $700 for under $400.

So more than the weather today, the fun of getting to go out and play with my new camera in the weather is what has made this a very pleasing day.
