Happy St. Patrick's Day

No luck-of-the-Irish for us. My parents were joining us on this trip. They headed out about 4:00 a.m. on Sunday. They got caught in bumper-to-bumper traffic twice. It seems everyone is heading to Florida for spring break and the upcoming Easter Holiday. Someone "bumped" into their car while in the bumper-to-bumper traffic. After inspecting the vehicle it appeared everything was OK and they were back on their way. It was after midnight when they finally arrived. We helped them unpack and get settled in for the night. They were glad to finally arrive and "Bertha" was glad to get out of the car. Bert is their dog. Everyone slept in the next morning. Around 11:00 we all headed out to the Cardinal ballgame. The crowd was dotted with fans dressed in Cardinal red and fans dressed in green for St. Patrick's Day. I had planned on posting lots of photos in my blog from our trip, but as our luck goes on this St. Patrick's day, our E-500 Olympus is not working. We used the camera on day 2 of our trip, but now it won't take photos. Everything comes out black. My techno son researched on-line and it seems the mirror/shutter is not moving - it appears it might be a mechanical problem, because we tried all the other problem shooting regarding the memory card/batteries etc. Anyone know of any camera repair shops in Jupiter Florida?
Later from on-the-road.
