Parenting Now: Drowning!
http://www.paper-tiger.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DSCF3367-190x143.jpg
In winter, we frequent a ‘nearby’ (re:40 min drive one-way) indoor hotel ‘waterpark’ with a shallow baby pool that maxes out at 13 inches, one backyard-length slide in the shallow bit, and one ‘real’ water-slide that has a whole lot …
Evie’s Surprise Change
http://www.paper-tiger.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/eviedance-190x120.jpg

RIP: Canon Rebel XS
http://www.paper-tiger.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dedcam-190x117.jpg
Do not go gently in to that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the…. Camera.* [*Yes, I’ve been watching Interstellar lately…] I am so upset, right now. My wonderful camera’s body remains, but its soul has passed on and Canon …
Mini Project: Scratch Ladder (Scratch Roof Access Preface)
http://www.paper-tiger.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ladwide-136x190.jpg
I have been building the Walther’s Merchant’s Row II in HO scale for a friend, and the roof has been giving me fits. Frequently – and very much so on my table-height layout – the roof is the most-visible aspect of …
