Yesterday I took some photos of the sunset.  Well you guys seemed to really like them so I submitted two of them to my local news station late last night.

Here is the email I got back from WBTV News...

I love the pictures and showed them several times on our morning newscast today.
 
Thanks for sending them in, really nice!

 To bad I was sleeping and didn't get to see them.  Darn!  When my son got home from school he told me that one of his teachers saw my photos on the News this morning.

Here are the two that I submitted to the news station last night...

Edward W. Jan 20, 2009, 2:26pm EST
I didn't do that many yesterday because I worked on Sunday and didn't stay up into Monday morning to leave comments.
Today, I have an appointment with a podiatrist. That's why I'm here earlier than usual. (I have to leave in about 1 hour and I haven't showered yet ... I'll be taking care of that soon.)
