swapping lenses

I traded in one of my lenses today for another. I had discovered that my Minolta 70-210mm was somewhat limited. I had read good things about a Tamron model with the same range, and went across town to a place that was supposed to carry them new. They didn't have any new lenses, but they did have a used one. Including my trade-in, it cost $210. I'm very pleased.

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
