Sooo great. Congrats Steve.

Great shots. Back from another PhotoFair, just throw shit on the table edition. Also their 50th anniversary. I was good and only bought two $5 “tabletop” old tripods (the only type I seem to use anymore). That justifies buying the ridiculous new lens I really want, right?

Learning about the Melungeons.

I can't play the embedded version, nor know what this is, but in case others can play on YT... youtu.be/9gJq_BMVY7I?si=her4S2d9uLJj9v2e youtube.com/watch?v=ABZT8IoL2dg

That's great. Thanks. Not surprisingly there's also a Retrospective I set also, but that came and went before I knew and seems difficult to find. I only have Apple Music and Spotify services at the moment, but someone on Spotify created a playlist with tracks from both sets - Johann Johannsson Retrospective... There's also the Last and First Men film (2 LP set)

Digesting the Johann Johannsson Retrospective II set... ... so tonight...

Happy birthday. Until today, I believe Andre the Giant holds several records on drinking, but I know you two can do it!

Two episodes are out for Vince Gilligan‘s Pluribus (Apple TV) and they set up a likely very fun season.
