My Webshots Photo Views
For some reason my cruise night photos are more popular on Webshots than Flickr. On Flickr my Yuma Proving Ground photo set is the most popular at the moment.
Today the Claremont Cruise Night photo set on Webshots has had a total of 1,326 views with the Denny's Cruise Night in nearby Upland, CA getting 1,253 views. The Yuma Proving Ground set has only 167 views. Simply California which is popular but not as popular as old cars and tanks got a total of 108 views. The Claremont Fireworks comes in dead last at 92 views behind New Orleans Music at 410 views. The New Orleans Music photo set is of Yolanda Creole Woman and her band appearing at the Claremont Summer Concert Series. I am surprised that Yolanda is more viewed than the Yuma Proving Ground set on Webshots as the Yuma Proving Ground set is by far the most viewed on Flickr.

Claremont Cruise Night - Sept 2009
The September 2009 Claremont Cruise Night photos have been posted to Flickr.
Second Highest Viewed Flickr Photo
The second highest viewed photo in my Flickr photo stream is the M247 Sgt. York Division Air Defense (DIVAD) Gun. Both of my highest viewed photos are from the Yuma Proving Ground photo set.

It appears this tank (M551 Sheridan) is highly popular for reasons that are a mystery to me.
Denny's Cruise Night - Upland CA
Contrary to the statements on some websites covering Denny's Cruise Night in Upland, California; the last Cruise Night was not last night. There will be a Denny's Cruise Night on the second Friday Night of October and November.
Typically no one asks me any questions when I photograph cars; but I got asked several times if my photos were going to be published on the internet. My answer was yes on Flickr and other places. To the question as to the web address I said ronald_hodgman on Flickr. After several questions on web address I stated do a Goggle search as I figured the Flickr photos would quickly show up in a Google search which turned out to be an accurate prediction. Believe it or not; typically I have no way of knowing a web address in advance of the photo being published.
I figured lovers of the classic Ford Thunderbird would quickly ask for my Thunderbird photos to be added to their Flickr group. It is amazing how quickly Thunderbird lovers detect new photos of that classic Ford car posted to Flickr.
Lots of classic Fords and Chevys were present last night with a few oddball non-Fords and Chevys.

Claremont Summer Series Over
Between my photos of Yuma Proving Ground and "The Answer" concert in Memorial Park; I had my highest view day on Flickr ever.
Summer is over as yesterday was Labor Day. Also it was the last summer concert of the Claremont, CA 2009 summer season. As usual "The Answer" gave a great show.

Self Righteous Christians Steal Photos From Flickr Websites
In a total disrespect for USA copyright law and lazyness in not sending a photographer to get their own photos of the event, CRN has stolen a photo from my Flickr photo website without my permission. Then to rub salt in my wounds due to their act of stealing copyrighted materal they write a negative review on Mark Driscoll's sermon at the Crystal Cathedral. I was present to hear the sermon live. I watched it on the internet and I considered it to be a very good sermon. I fail to understand why these self righteous photo stealing thieves consider the "Vintage Jesus" sermon given by Mark Driscoll to be a failure.
A check for using my copyrighted photo of Mark Driscoll at the Crystal Cathedral had better be in the mail or a copyright lawsuit may be coming.
One does not advance the Kingdom of God by stealing a photo without permission from a Flickr website. Stealing is stealing and it breaks one of the ten commandments.

AmphiCar - Car or Boat?
At the August 2009 Cruise Night in Claremont CA was a Amphicar which is a German made car that is also a boat. It seems a little bit too much James Bond like to me.
It was the most unusual car present and it look a lot of interest.

Barefoot in the Fountain
After a long time of not being noticed, but I suppose my lack of promoting my Flickr photos contributed greatly to the lack of traffic; my Flickr photos are getting more traffic. I am getting better at digital photography and editing of digital photos which may be contibuting to the increased views too.

A Fourth of July in Claremont, CA
This is something that someone posted on YouTube about the annual Fourth of July celebration in Claremont, CA. I decided to do a day in the life theme on Flickr of the annual Fourth of July celebration in Claremont, CA. My photos and videos of the 2009 Claremont Fourth of July day can be viewed here.
OK a public disclaimer for the Fundamentalist Christians who may try to find something to attack me on concerning this matter. There was no attempt on my part to judge any of the activities but to simply document. Claremont, CA is a Liberal village having a Democratic Party Club with no similar Republican group. The Democratic Party was very present but the Republican Party was no where to be found. Liberal issues were very much promoted but there was zero conservative issues being presented in public. There was periodic arguments between the Liberals and the Conservatives next to the Democratic Party Club booth in Memorial Park which means that some Conservatives still exist in this very Liberal town. Having attended one Democratic Party Club meeting I know for a fact that the goal of the Claremont Democratic Party Club is to somehow exile all Conservatives and particularly Republicans to some other location in California if it is not possible to get these persons to move outside of California. How do I know this; I attended the Democratic Party Club meeting to spy on them and I left the meeting believing that it was not safe for me to live in Claremont as there is no freedom in this town if you are not one of them.
Re:vive Church was giving out some of the tricky Living Water Ministry gospel tract fake dollar bills with Obama's image on it. They couldn't understand why the local Liberals were taking these gospel tracts over the other fake money gospel tracts that had an image other than Obama on it. I commented to Re:vive persons that Obama is like an idol to Claremont and they acted surprised at this information. As I expected a Liberal woman that was shocked to find a Christian gospel message hidden on the back side of the Obama imaged fake money gospel tract got upset enough to protest their use of Obama's image to promote Christianity. I know this happened from the sermon given at Re:vive Church the day after July 4th as this incident in Memorial Park was mentioned. I didn't attend Re:vive Church as I watched this sermon on the Re:vive Church website. I highly recommend that persons of Re:vive Church attend the next Democratic Party Club meeting in Claremont as it may open their eyes as to the true hero worship of Obama as he is almost like a god to them.
Since I knew the Re:vive gospel tracts would be controversial, I did include photos of these tracts in the Flickr day in the life of Claremont, CA on July 4th.
I look forward to a possible new Claremont village ordinance that no gospel tracts baring Obama's image is to be allowed inside the city limits of Claremont, CA.
Per the Living Waters website this particular Obama gospel tract is out of stock:
This tract has the Gospel message written on back of the bill.

The trillion dollar question: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here's a quick test. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, "Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Have you looked with lust? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have done those things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell. That's not God's will. He sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross for you. You broke God's Law, but Jesus paid your fine. That means He can legally dismiss your case. He can commute your death sentence: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent (turn from sin) today and trust in Jesus alone, and God will grant you the gift of everlasting life. Then read your Bible daily and obey it.

Update
My company laptop's Windows XP operating system crashed due to a sudden hard drive failure. Dell sent a new hard drive and I am busy reloading all of the software lost when the old hard drive suddenly died. Fortunately all of the data on that hard drive was backed up so no major loss.
My relatively new Motorola cellular phone stopped taking pictures then the display went dead. It was replaced by a Samsung cellular phone and I have been busy loading all of the stuff lost when the other cellular phone died.
