Doubt this will be useful to anyone, but should you want to take a short audio tour including here. While in London stayed near the small Freud Museum, where he spent his last few years in exile from the Nazis. Visited, but didn’t have headphones at the time, thus now listening while driving in California. https://www.freud.org.uk/2014/03/01/audio-guide/ A friend and I used to exchange tours a little out of context of being at the place. The old Alcatraz tour was fun late at night.

Visited the Pacific Pinball Museum today. Here are a few shots of a Jerry Kelley and Christian Marche working machines exhibit with a M9M and LLL 1966. -

Like animation that never looks too realistic, I hope people continue to use AI in this strange place only it excels.

Went to the world premiere of the play Chaplin and Keaton on the Set of Limelight. Admired much of its depth, while also being irritated (an increasingly common feeling) by what's sacrificed in messy greatness for a more crafted output - equal number of lines, actors time, pivotal scenes properly spaced, traditional act structure, etc. all to serve a balanced, acceptable story. That didn’t start here though and still greatly enjoyed the dialog on comedy's purpose, the two comedian's differences, etc.

If anyone is considering, PM me as I haven’t completely gone through my Pixii customer service experience, but this is exciting. I guess it comes down to if the asking price, which makes sense for such a small company, makes sense for targeted consumers, especially with used Leica and Hassy prices, unfair as comparing new and used models are. There have rarely been used Pixii/Pixii+ models come up (I can remember two). I wish them luck. Edit: Let’s see how an electric shutter only goes over (as all Pixii’s have been). My guess is while the 1/3 the price Panny S9 was heavily criticized, the Pixii Max will get a free pass. -

Spent the day in Castle Rock Park. Possibly saw evidence of the original Ohlone people or aliens or maybe local kids who had seen too many A24 films. Hung out with some down on their luck trucker who waxed poetically (or at least consistently) about their hatred of bugs, the heat, and people taking their photograph. Finally caught the fireworks.
