  1. I'm finally getting around to listening to Sonny Rollins. We've been at the lake house for a few weeks. Will listen to, Way Out West, when I get back to my vinyl rig. Till then, Qobuz will have to suffice.

  3. Previously: Maybe we need a ceiling fan, so we may not need to run the A/C so much? Ok, Costco have a "Fandelier" Maybe that will work. OK. Some time later, after much installation. How About Now? No, not like that. Too UFO-y Do they have anything in white? "Yes Dear" : aka More Installation Later Acceptable. Blends in to the ceiling more. remote / App / Hey Google / Google Home automation for Light On/Off Brightness, Fan On/Off/Speed - it is quieter per more CFM. Color Temp as well. So a Win, Finally. Now to repeat for the other bedrooms, maybe.

  5. Thanks, yeah it’s a strong app and I use occasionally. This is where we get to the apples to apples question. [Switching to Adobe-speak] Affinity, is a great Photoshop replacement, not so much Lightroom. Trick is Capture One covered what I needed for both. The Photoshop-Lightroom division has always felt abnormal from a photography perspective (though PS is obviously used by non-photographers too). PhotoLab is close as tries a similar approach, but because its focus is camera and lens corrections, it won’t even import (or fall back to OS processing) any non-supported combos. You’re dead in the water with many cameras, including several I use. Anyway, first world problems, but all ears for suggestions and thanks for this one.

  7. By all means, share away. If this isn't the place for it, I don't know what is. Those of us who have them all love our floofy children. ❤️ to Cora.

  10. RIP Marcia Lucas. Not only did she put up with being married to George Lucas, she took the steaming pile that was his ideas and turned it into A New Hope. George Lucas is the definitive example that it is better to be lucky than talented. At every turn, he blundered into meeting people with abilities far beyond his own who could elevate his murky and misconceived visions into cultural touchstones. Peter Crushing was the absolute master class at portraying a bad guy. Sir Alec Guinness could inflect the most hokey dialogue imaginable in a way that resonated with like six different generations. James Earl Jones had the voice of all time. Irvin Kershner was a deftly skilled directory with decades of experience. Unlike George, Lawrence Kasdan actually was an accomplished screenwriter. Also Carrie Fisher was lighting in a bottle. I'm sorry, this is about about George's ex-wife, not The Neck himself.

  11. I've just come from the Veterinary Hospital... Cora (my dog) underwent emergency surgery. Apparently, she has some kind of problem/infection in her lymphatic system. Doctors have removed his tonsils and will perform a biopsy. They haven't ruled out some type of lymphatic cancer. It's ironic, I also had cancer, my mom died of leukemia two years ago and Cora was a kind of gift to help me get through it. I just pray that my son never goes through that. Sorry, maybe this isn't the place to spit this shit.
