Great pictures! Looks like the new camera is doing well. I love the armadillo (RIP).

I'm not up on my mortuary terminology). We had a quick whispered discussion over whether we should tell anyone--after all, it was going to be buried--and if so, whom. (My aunt seemed an extremely bad candidate. I ended up pulling the funeral director aside, and he promised to have it taken care of.)
