Oh what a tangled web we weave

My eBay adventure is expanding. After filing my claim with PayPal, I received the lens. That should be good but it wasn't; the lens doesn't work!! I think the seller knows that. The package was a DHL overnight delivery. He didn't send it until I threatened to file a dispute on the first day possible ... ten days after the purchase date. He mailed the package on the tenth day to arrive the day I filed. Jerk!

I've called Tokina ... it is a Tokina lens ... and am forwarding it to them for warranty repair. I guess I'll have to cancel the claim but am letting the seller sweat it a few days. I probably should have insisted on returning the lens and getting a refund. That could be a drawn out affair. I really want that lens ... NOW! :-)

We're going through a deluge of bad weather. Marble Falls had nearly 18 inches of rain between midnight and six this morning. It rained all night here but we got nowhere near that amount of rain. Maybe I should be practicing my photography under difficult conditions. If I had that 12-24 zoom I probably would.

Guess I'll try doing something productive. Here's to some dryer, warmer weather.
