My parents were rather peeved when they found out that a lot of folks got parking tickets, as they were told that guests at Maple Hall events were not supposed to have to pay parking. My mom was going to complain to the City, and the parking ticket lady said that if you got a ticket, to call the city and tell them you were at a Maple Hall function and had been told by the host that you didnt need to pay for parking. The bad news is that next year, we'll probably have to pay.

What a beautiful, crisp day. I think we all paddled/rowed twice as
much getting back from the turn mark as we did on the way out. And
of course I really mucked up reading the currents on the way back in
the slough.

Blessings: clear skies, flat conditions, good company, great
munchies after.
Curses: parking tickets ( you get nailed on weekends now? I bet some
local made a phone call...) It was a leeetle bit cold...downright
nippley.

I hear results are up on Sound Rower home page. going to go see.
Maybe my bouyant mood is because I haven't seen results yet, hehe.

The "official" La Conner photos are now up on the Sound Rowers web
site. I tell ya, some of you folks are quite photogenic!

After talking with more club members, I was rather surprised to find
out how many folks do not have broadband Internet access. It is a good
thing that I've been resizing the images and thumbnails to reduce the
amount of data being transferred over the net.

Still, this also means that lots of club members are missing out on
the opportunity to see themselves in "the big picture".

I'm happy to accommodate people who are interested in the original 5
megapixel photos (roughly 2.5 to 3.5 MB in size) to e-mail one or two
to them. However, if people would like to have all the full sized
photos for a given race it would require them to be on a CD-ROM. In
addition, if you have a DVD player it might be possible to play this
CD-ROM on your TV. The quality would suffer tremendously compared to a
PC monitor, unless you had HDTV, but it would be another way of
showing friends and family your exploits.

There would be some cost involved, but it could be done.

Is there any interest in getting the race photos on CD-ROM?

Does this mean that La Conner will issue refunds to those of us who
actually forked over the $3 to park?
