Iβll always have a soft spot for the olβ Tiger - we restored one way (way!) back in high school auto shop.
The car is so tiny that the spark plugs for the V8βs rear-most cylinders are accessed through ports in the driverβs and passengerβs footwells.
I get it; we get dark here late enough already for it not to matter much.
It just has no business being almost 2pm already.

I think you're right (as @ltrytten.bsky.social pointed out earlier). I'd be happy for it to stream there, too!
(I believe the person interviewed on CBC commented that it had originally aired, at odd hours, on CBC - but certainly could have misinterpreted.)
At least nobody's hit the "Buy It Now" button.
(Yet, anyway.)
When I was roadracing and training in Northern California back in the β90s, pretty much everyone waived and got a waive back in response.
Iβm in a different place now, itβs a different era, and most of my riding is for my daily commute. But I still waive, and nobody *ever* waives back. A sad loss.
Very cool!

Listening to Edmontonβs CBC Radio 1, and Iβve just learned that SCTV is going to be re-released.
Unfortunately, itβll be streaming on Prime, rather than on its proper home: CBC.
Fucking Bezos.
To be fair, that black goo is worth at least $100k on its own.

I have a Nikkor-OC 35mm f/2 that Iβm quite fond of. So, after careful consideration, I think Iβll give this Leica a pass.

There was a Dumble guitar amplifier listed for sale on Reverb a while back, for an amount similar to this. I added it to my cart for a chuckle, which is probably whatβs going on here.

My dude. If I could afford this lens, Iβd fly over to Toronto in my G800 and pick it up myself.
(Cool lens, tho.)
Haha, fair enough. Iβve just found that Ray-Bans work for my facial structure.

Ray-Ban frames have been my go-to for many years now - Iβve had at least 8 pairs made with prescription lenses (both clear and tinted).
Itβs looking like Iβll need to find another designer, and Iβm not happy about it. But I donβt want anyone to ever even suspect that Iβm wearing #PervertGlasses.
This has been on my Kanopy watch list forever - thanks for the nudge; Iβll be watching it tonight!

I've finally assembled my dream set of Nikkor LF glass (90mm f/8 SW, 135mm f/5.6 W, 150mm f/5.6 W, 200mm f/8 M, and 300mm f/9 M - all with matchy-matchy Copal shutters), but your Ektar posts are *still* giving me G.A.S.
They're that pretty.
I just recently picked it up (so recently that I've not yet had the chance to take any photos using it), but the view through it is so glorious that I immediately found another for use with my 135mm Hektor.
