good day.


Er, no, but nice try. Ever hear the term "telephoto lens?"

You see, the surveillance equipment is being installed far enough away from
the nest so as not to cause the eagles to flush from the nest. Also, they
haven't started nesting yet, so it's not a problem.

Don't try to teach grandpa to suck eggs.

Is this how it goes?

…After countless days fixed on the tiny monitor recording anything that
moves down the protected section of Boulder Creek, Scott is almost
dozing off after spending 18 hours at his post, but the alarms blare and
Scott spots his prey. A group of 12 year olds on inner tubes with
paddles. Scott springs into action calling the Sheriff and USFWS. The
agents immediately drop every thing and set up sting operation a few
miles down stream. The young offenders are apprehended and convicted for
their crimes against humanity. They wont be able to endanger the
environment from Guantanamo Bay.

Scott is hailed a hero. After receiving numerous awards for bravery
and dedication, he gets to shake hands with the president. He is able to
pay his back-taxes after selling the movie rights, his part is played by
Tom Hanks. Paris Hilton becomes smitten with the crime fighter, awed by
his single minded perseverance they spend the rest of their lives making
little Usenet personas.

That's the beauty of digital. The system automatically detects the boaters
and starts the cameras. I can even set it up to call my cell phone when it's
activated, and I can download video clips to my cell phone to make sure it's
not a false alarm. It's very cool. Then, I make some calls and proceed to
95th street with my handicam to catch them taking out and record license
plates and suchlike in case the Sheriff can't get there in time.

I won't catch everyone, but one or two prosecutions ought to get the word
out.

Well, there's always hope...but I'd prefer Charlize, Paris is too much of a
flake.

Scott:

We agree on this one I just told my wife the other night that I thought
Charlize was the best looking woman in Hollywood. She agreed. That makes three
of us!
