SPAM seems to be a problem wherever you go on the internet.  Unless you’ve never used email before, you’ve probably received at least one SPAM email.  You know those unwanted emails that try to sell you performance enhancing drugs, get rich quick schemes, and phishing scams. You would never expect to see this kind of thing appear in blogs.  Unfortunately, if the default blog settings allow comments to appear, the SPAMMERS will have a field day with it.  They post the same kind of stuff that gets sent via email.

Our camera has served us well for nearly a decade.  The Olympus C-3000 Zoom was a state of the art camera in its day.  We have brought it with us on many a vacation and recorded many happy memories.
