Thank you. I had a crappy KODAK 7" Digital Film Scanner that I fought with for over a year. It distorted everything, and one spent HOURS trying to correct each scan.
Several months ago I bought a Plustek OpticFilm 8300i Ai Film Scanner. It does a great job-it has good software to optimize scans.
You curiate a wonderful stream of artists!
The 30s are when one gets serious about who and where they want to be.
😂Look who took all the Kleenex out of the box? Tucker did!

I had not heard any of this. Thanks for sharing.
I believe he needed hip and/or knee replacements. I have experienced the pain associated with that (left hip). Had I not had that done in 2011, I might have self checked out. The pain was searing. Now It is pain free.
That, and the staged looking set. This could be a scene in a play.
😪 I still miss him. 🤨Why was there no investigation as to who was over supplying him?

"Who Will Be The Last?"
Tony was thinking of the Aids plague as it killed endless numbers of humans. Today, it could be Covid-19. Or bird flu, or germ warfare unleashed on the planet, or Plutonium-239, or ???

A verse from Strawberry Fields Forever comes to mind:
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
People are selective in their little cult silos, and do not want to be confused by facts.
You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
Ohhh, you got one of the best seats in the venue!🤪
True BlueSky. Insta and Twitter are now mirrors of the Blue.
With an allstars edition where it is for a year.
The aqua turquoise is the same color that I painted my living room. Such a happy color!
This song brings back happy memories of my first time being in love.

This was shot on November 29, 2020, looking into south Puget Sound after a day of wind and rain. The sun sets deep in the south this time of year.

In the Early 1980's, my brother worked as an auto mechanic at Parrish Caine in Wilmington, North Carolina. The owner would buy abandoned cars at auctions in South Carolina, and bring them to the shop to fix them for resale.
One such car had several trays of Kodachrome slides
in its trunk. (1/2)
"Gargoyles and Bric-a-Brac"
I took a side trip to Oxford, and was enchanted by all the Gargoyles! This was one of many random Oxford Kodachrome transparencies (scanned) I took in April, 1989.
I was visiting our UK office, in Aylesbury.

Jimmy Heacock was a yet another gay Mormon, who after a stint in the USAF and attempt at heterosexuality, came out. He now lives In Kamuela, Hawaii. He was VERY funny, and loved Elton John!

The #songoftheday is 'Oxbow Lakes' by The Orb.
A delightfully meandering Ambient Trance instrumental.

The #songoftheday is "A Time to Love" by Stevie Wonder.
🎵We make time to debate religion
Passing bills and building prisons
For building fortunes and passing judgments
When will there be a time to love?🎶
