->> On the recommendation of somebody on here I've been checking out Alex Garcia's blog on the Chicago Tribune website for a while now.

His latest post brought a smile to my face :

Nic

I obliterated a Nikon N90 (N90s maybe?) this way. I was at a political event at 1 Police Plaza in NYC and had just finished putting cream cheese on my bagel. With that, the politician swoops in and I started to juggle two cameras and a bagel ... I went to stop the bagel from falling to the floor instead of the camera.

NPS said something about 'not covered under warranty' and 'impact damage.'

Whoops!
