The PowerShot SX1 IS and SX20 IS fit the bill. The G series is good as well, though they aren't the widest of lenses.

Where's the Infinite Improbability Drive when you need it?

Precisely. They don't believe in slow approaches or wasting any bit of runway on landing. Sometimes, things don't quite work out.

Yeah, I read through that (and thanks for the link by the way) but it was another incident that happened today, I thought...

Back from lunch. :eek::rolleyes::D
Tuesday has no feel.
Monday has a feel, Wednesday has a feel.

Looks like a good candidate.

Long-fermented, specific, uniquely wicked plans of revenge. In my mother's case, it seems sometimes to be what gives her life meaning more than anything else (except perhaps bragging about her children).

YES. tjtenor4 and I did I-80 from Cheyenne to Cleveland last December (as part of a DEN-DC trip). Nebraska was interminable. I never thought I would be so thrilled to get to Iowa...but at least, there, you get some hills. :rolleyes:

And wind turbines. Thousands of wind turbines.

My dad and I did the I-80 run for a short backpacking trip in Colorado last fall. Growing up, we went to Rocky Mountain NP every couple years, but that was from STL, so it was via I-70. Kansas is slightly less boring than Nebraska, but that's not saying much.

I dunno, I grew up in IAH so driving anywhere involved crossing Texas, which was generally half the trip. It's about 300 miles across Nebraska; it's 800 miles to ELP from IAH and you're still in Texas.

Brownsville to Texline would be a fairly silly drive.
