WON'T HURT TO TRY IT

I signed up for an account at a site where people can purchase prints of my photos. The link is over there --->

Since it's free, I guess it's worth a try. Not that I'm expecting to get rich or anything, but it would be exciting to actually sell a photograph.

Edited to add: I discovered a little secret about the art sale site. If you start to purchase something it will automatically take you to the "Custom Framing" option, where the smallest print will cost $90+. Stupid! (Especially since I don't make money off of their outrageous frame prices, just the prints.) If you click on "Change Product Type" you can buy a print, and take it to someplace cheaper (in other words, reasonable) to have it matted and framed. There is also an option to purchase note cards.

CHANNEL 10 GRAMMAR GOOFS

Since the two worst offenders are no longer there I haven't been picking on the news team much lately, but I have saved a few gems.

Random wrongs:

“This is how it looked like.”
“the no alcohol ban.” If “no alcohol” is banned, does that mean everyone must drink at the beach?
“...a very public safety issue.” (From an anchor person.)
“Behind me you can see some sirens.” (Michael Chin, the dramatic reader.)
“Both men lived together.”

And, from anchor-person KH:

“The man behind the wheel of a deadly bus crash...”
“A man with a bullet still launched in his face....”
“Puppy mills is a flourishing business...”
(All of course delivered with perfect diction. Bad grammar, but perfect diction.)
