[Leica] Sweet tea, and a shot of the Delta Queen, Y'all

I drink my tea hot, sweet, and with milk.

Down here in LouisianA (The other LA), we like our women hot and sweet, and
we steam the milk, for our strong coffee.

By the way, The Delta Queen came through Friday and stopped at the Port of
Natchitoches for a tour of the Oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase.
The theme of their tour is the War Between the States, known to some of you
as the Civil War.

I went down to the Red River as she was steaming away Friday evening, and
got several sultry shots of her against the Grand Ecore Bluffs, the location
of several military posts over the years.

I liked this the best.  I'm going to play with the others and share a couple
more later this week.  http://www.sonc.com/delta.htm

I scanned the Fuji 100 negs on my Coolscan III using the new Nikon Software
Mark showed us.  It works well, though I don't think it is supposed to with
my scanner.

The software is slower loading, and I'm getting used to the extra tool box.
I haven't figured out  how to make digital ice cubed the default, nor do I
know how to switch it on when I am making more than one scan at a time.

Hmmmmm,  maybe I'll read the book.

For those of you who don't know what you are missing, here's a modern recipe
for Sweet tea.  The tea must be sweetened when it is hot to be "sweet tea, "
otherwise you got yorself sweetened tea.

Deanna Ross' Sweet Tea recipe

Ingredients

 Directions
1 Using an electric coffee maker, Place the 3 tea bags in the strainer
basket (not in the pot). Brew the tea as you would coffee. Pour the sugar in
a gallon pitcher. Pour in the hot tea. Continue to run coffee maker with the

completely at room temperature, then refrigerate.
