As long as we have fun. Hey, your nose looks cold.

Oh? I've been around!
The Halfway Post is satirical. Funny though.
Leica M2? I had one years ago. You're right, it's very satisfying to use, especially the rangefinder. Wish I hadn't sold it.

It got me for a bit too until my wife mentioned it was Pi Day.
Pretty easy. Open a blank post, go back to the first complete game, click on share, choose the save to clipboard icon, open the Bluesky post and paste it. Repeat for remaining games before posting.
I solved the 3/14/2026 New York Times Mini Crossword in 3:14
Nah, I made that up.
Happy Pi Day!

I know the feeling. I also used it at weddings with a huge Sunpak flash and a Minolta flash meter. Fun.
Lol, I used a Bronica 645 for years in my studio. That's how old I am.
Russia is helping Iran find and kill American service members, and Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to condemn Putin. In fact, he’s been as lovey-dovey as ever with Putin the past two weeks.
Trump works for Putin. Trump is a traitor to America.
The man thinks he personally booked the Olympics, scheduled the World Cup, and invented the United States of America.
Highly recommend that once in a while you check out what the international news community is reporting on this war.
Peep this from yesterday. See the difference?
I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.
COVERUPS WON’T WORK.
NOT EVEN WAR.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
