We used a power inverter to run our coffee maker and battery recharger during the Isleton Crawfish Festival of 2004.

If you don’t have an inverter, they’re a must for the cost-conscious (can’t afford a hotel room) photographer. Be aware that the inverter will drain your car’s battery - if in doubt, start your engine to provide constant current and stay clear of rotating parts.

I’ve been trying to recharge, too. There’s not much to do or say about the job front in Baton Rouge. Apparently, the hiring strategy here is “Who You Know” and we don’t know many people.

Late last month, IEM made me an offer, and the day before I as to start, the rescinded it - for reasons that aren’t clear - and I won’t speculate in public. Their refusal to speak to me since is rather odd, and I noted with chagrin that they’re still looking for someone to fill the job over a month later.

Wonder how much that’s costing them?

Anyway, back to recharging.
