Replacement iPod

My iPod died.

It'd been acting uber-flaky, and when I hooked it to the puter for the first time in 4 months, it ran the updater - then died. Stiff. No response,

A Norwegian Blue, pining for the fjords it was.

I wuz hoping theyd replace it with a 'current equivalent'. A color ipod at least. But noo - the exact same thing. Durnit.

The new one sounds better, isnt as sluggish. I guess the old one was bad out of the box, but I didnt realize it.

At least I got my music back.

Baccarat crystal

Out of high school I worked in the fine foods and objects department at Marshall Fields in the Chicago Area where I got an education in high end foods and crystals.

While there, they had a Baccarat crystal figurine, a solid crystal glass figurine of a running greyhound done in Art Deco style. A true work of art and my fiirst experience with heavy crystal glass. It was 85 bux at the time. For nearly 20 years since, I kicked myself for not buying it.

Recently, I went to the Baccarat store in Union Square to inquire what it would cost to get that figurine.

A) It was no longer in production.
B) It was listed at $1500.

Ugh.

When I go to france, I'll be looking for it.

Flyby

When planes land or take off at SFO or Oakland, they do a curving flyby over San Francisco, going low and slow to take in the views.

This is why it's called the Golden Gate

This is the worst image I took last night

This is the worst image I took last night.

Before I headed off for work I grabbed both the tripod and monopod, with no clear plan of what I intended to do or where I intended to go.

The night ended with a ride back over the bridge in a cop cruiser as I found out they close the bridge to pedestrians at 6:30 pm during the winter.

In between I took a lotta pictures. I consider anything over 300 images a safari. I took 800. And wouldve taken more if Id taken an extra memory card.

But thats ok, its qualiy, not quantity, right? :)

Life is good.
