Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIPREX_041115_03.JPG: This is Sam Houston's rifle. Notice the sliding breechblock, also known as a harmonica lock, which allowed for the loading and firing of five bullets. The signs pointed out how controversial the "war of Texan independence" was since Mexico basically allowed white residents in the Mexican territory to basically steal Texas from Mexico. The displays also talk about controversies in the Spanish-American War (another war justified only by American imperialistic desires).
2. SIPREX_041115_26.JPG: George Custer's buckskin jacket
3. SIPREX_041129_003.JPG: Hat and field service coat belonging to Leonard Wood, commander of the Rough Riders.
4. SIPREX_041129_040.JPG: Buffalo soldier dress-uniform helmet
5. SIPREX_041129_084.JPG: Trade tomahawks used for barter with Indians. Beaded Scottish-style Creek cap made for Edmund P. Gaines, who fought under Jackson. .38-caliber flintlock pistol presented by Andrew Jackson to Major Lemuel P. Montgomery, who died at Horseshoe Bend. Hunting knife owned by militiaman Sam Houston. .45-caliber Pennsylvania-Kentucky rifle
6. SIPREX_041129_094.JPG: Winter fatigue jacket used by enlisted men, 1832-50
7. SIPREX_041129_112.JPG: Texas Independence. Texas's struggle for independence from Mexico and its annexation to the United States led to the Mexican War. By the 1830's, American settlers in Mexico's Texas territory outnumbered native Mexicans. Americans felt oppressed by Mexican rule and, under the leadership of Stephen Austin and Sam Houston, declared independence in 1835. A Mexican army under General Antonio Santa Anna attacked and slaughtered Texas rebels at the Alamo, but Houston rallied support and crushed Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Struggling as an independent country, the Republic of Texas sought to become part of the United States. Although many in Congress opposed the move, the United States annexed Texas in 1845.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
