An Egret and Picasa's New Auto Backup Feature

We saw this water bird today at Christopher Columbus Park.  As we started to sneak up on him to get a better picture, he flew away.  Wretched bird!  It's an egret, which is a type of heron.  I know this because I just googled it.  All things are knowable on the web.

Are you a Picasa user?  Apparently the brain trust at Google has implemented a new auto-backup feature for photos.  If you have a ton of photos and they start auto backing up, AND you're on a limited data plan, that backup could exceed your data limits.  A blogger brought it to my attention, and he'll be talking about it again tomorrow.  This truly sounds like the work of the devil.  I haven't seen the popup window yet, but this feature must die. 
Other than this maties, I have zippity doo-dah all to report.
