RIP someone or another

Godspeed, Kyle Loftis....  Creator and host of 1320Video.

I had the pleasure of meeting him at Houston Raceway Park, our 1/4 mile drag strip in Baytown that is no more during a Texas Speed Syndicate track rental.  He filmed me making passes in my Challenger while I was getting data for the standing mile.  He subsequently posted the vid which surprised me.

Very kind gent with a genuine curiosity.

Some just never seem to want to die. Hope I'm not jinxing him. Legendary talent with endless imagination and ambition.

He can play with Dick Van Dyke.

I thought of Dick Van Dyke too.

RIP to my aunt, Gladys "Goldie" Schultz, 87.

She was an amazing woman, very calm and logical, yet with a deep compassion and a wonderfully dry sense of humor  (I was recently told she was a tiny bit on the spectrum, makes sense now).  She was an early woman in tech, mother of 3 wonderful kids, and so much more.  She will be missed....and my dad is now the last living person from that generation....

She now joins her husband, my Uncle Ron.

RIP Goldie. May her memory be a blessing. 

My dad was also the last of his generation and he lived to 98. I hope you also have more good years with him.

RIP legendary music producer Jack Douglas.  Longtime listeners will know I have a fetish for the sound of 70s analogue productions.  Aerosmith (a band that I find to be a curiosity at best) posted these photos on their official FB page: 

That console is a thing of beauty.

[Dusty Chalk]

LOL, most studios have since implemented non-smoking policies in the control room.
