I've helped set up a sound bar with Google Assistant (can't recall if Samsung or LG) for elderly friends, who eventually disabled google assistant, because it would perform unprompted commands from time to time. A ghost in the machine perhaps? But voice control of volume and content plus ability to tell you the time and jokes, why not? Unless you're paranoid about having an always on network connected microphone in your living space. But there's nothing to worry about, citizen.

Ciao Novato! Opera at the Hamilton Amphitheater. We arrived early to secure a place in the shade at the Amphitheater during set up / sound check There was added drama, as their headlining baritone Richard Rittelmann was flying in from Paris that day, had been delayed in customs, was hiring a car, and was in the process of driving up, so would he make it for the big performance or not? In the meantime, they rearranged the program on the fly, and apart from a few teething troubles with their wireless sound system put on quite a show. Richard arrived And delivered. Thanks Novato. Back/Side-Stage with the stars (note the Ross goodie bag!)

No meditations on lens selection and bokeh for that reportage? Am disappoint.

Condolences Shelly, Sorry for your loss. R.I.P. Sophie.

Danny Click and the hell yeahs, but this time under lights in Fourth Street San Rafael. Some of his groupies from Corte Madera are here

Happy Birthday!

Hello Corte Madera! Rounding out the summer season with Danny Click and the Hell Yeah's (He has some groupies who know all the words!)

Looks good, but to me, without 🍌 or 🥭 chutney, kinda lacking

Kinda impressed

And as the sun went down They played on into the night (But not too late, this is San Anselmo, after all)

I think the sleeping lady referred to, is our very own Mount Tamalpais. Or as roadside america calls the statue "Giant nude woman"
