Sure looks like it snowed a lot more in Maryland than last year.

Nice pic, curse you and your easy stitching software!
Did you remember to keep the aperture constant? Also, the brick and the flag are rather out of focus, you might want to crop the brick wall out, and maybe to do your next version with the flag taking up more of the frame.

How'd the animals like the snow, Shep?

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Man, sheppy; How does an insane genocidal maniac such as yourself come from such a quintessential american neighborhood? Why, that place is positively Beaver Cleaver-ville!
Re: Wide Angle Photography!
You forget Chardok, Shep looks and acts like an oversized teddy bear. Yes he's atomic powered, but he's a teddy bear none the less.

Re: Wide Angle Photography!
I realize that this comment is a joke, but it occurs to me that attitudes toward Shep are a classic example of liberal internal conflict: many people here who identify themselves as liberals absolutely despise him for his political views, and particularly for his checkered past, which they refuse to forget.Chardok wrote:Man, sheppy; How does an insane genocidal maniac such as yourself come from such a quintessential american neighborhood?

However, these same people typically stick up for the importance of rehabilitation and second chances when dealing with criminals in general; does this philosophy only apply to people they've never met? Is it one of those abstract things that flies out the window the moment you come face to face with a case study?
It is a very liberal thing to disagree with Shep about a lot of issues. It is also a very liberal thing to see him as someone who is trying to move beyond his past and become a productive member of society.

Re: Wide Angle Photography!
Well, to be fair, I recognize that there is a very distinct internet Shep Persona vs. who he is really. I've chatted with Shep quite a few times in the past, and, though we have very different political views, I don't dislike him in the least (quite the opposite, in fact); I also have never begrudged him his actions in the past and I never will; he's never slighted me, or anyone else that I know in recent history, so I've no reason to dislike him. (In fact - Shep always makes it a point to ask how my little girl (who I don't see very much) is doing, a small gesture whose core of kindness and caring is not lost on me.)
Just...to summarize, it was my Internet persona poking a little fun at his internet persona.
Or, I may be reading too much into your post and it was completely not directed at me....
