Flea's trumpet focused Honora. I'm not in the RHCP fan base (but am Jane's Addiction), so surprised at how enjoyable this is. ex.

I don't know if this should be under podcasts, listening to, or here, but Norah Jones Is Playing Along with Jason Isbell

So I know these eateries started opening about 11 years ago, but I finally had dinner with a couple friends at The Rooftop Restaurant at RH (Palo Alto). Apologies for the lousy steak frites photo, but I'm not sure people really come here for the food. First time also having the 2022 Migration Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, which was nice waiting for our table, though any traditional restaurant glass to outside bottle price ratio went out the window. Anyway, out of all the I'm-old-enough-to-have-seen experiences, Restoration Hardware's path of quirky & interesting, original store and concept in Eureka, CA (see photography thread for related news), where I saved a confused bird and Melissa offered to "get them on the internet", to rebranding to RH, to multiple celebrity CEOs, to these weird restaurants, to chartering jets and yachts is a very, very strange one. Kind of progress. 🤷‍♀️

Hope it's a very merry McBirthday.

A few roadside graffiti snaps from two mostly grey days on a recent trip to Monument Valley and Route 66, that aren’t at Monument Valley or on Route 66. Colors are from the SL2 (CV 50mm f/1 Nokton) and monochrome the M9M (LLL 28 f/2.8 9E). Final two are with the Sigma BF (24mm f/2 Contemporary). I need more road trips in my life.

The Computer History Museum's Apple@50 live session from a few days ago. A lot of good info if you can deal with Pogue. And by deal with Pogue I mean...
