Yoshi's Holiday Videos

If you skip back to August you can remind yourselves of the trip Thomas, Frederick and I took to Munising in the very northern reaches of Michigan. One way to amuse ourselves was to take a glass bottom boat tour. There were very strict instructions on the boat that we could not take flash photos of the ships that we were looking at through the plexiglass as the glare would ruin the view for everyone so, because it was so dark in the gut of the boat, I didn't take any photos. But, because Thomas's had his Flip camera with him, he took films of the shipwrecks. But, because the Flip has PAIN-IN-THE-ASS software, it has taken us this long to figure out how to upload the Flip film bits connected with the moviemaker transitions and audio soundtracks that Thomas had assembled onto YouTube. Of course, doing that was precisely what the Flip promised it did EASILY, but it doesn't... Anyway, here is Thomas's film of that boat trip.

Thomas promises a "Part 2" which all of us here in Flint are anxious to see (some how the God-awful heat of last August seems much less offensive now that January has started) but he then reminded us that he has "a lot to do" so may be a while before he gets around to it.
