    Some water here from deep bore wells turns gums blue (from nitrate contaminants) :)

    I thought it was Mexico about which they say, "Don't drink the water!"   surprise​

    Never far away from a desert here,  there's not much choice but to pump artesian water for better or worse :0

    ...there's a few where I live.  Transparency film is not as involved or expensive to process as colour prints.  Transparencies can also be scanned into digital format.  Considering it would probably cost me around 2,000$ to get a similar setup in a digital photography rig (which I'd rather put that towards building a new workstation) The cost of processing is a minor issue.

    here too, still processing Tri-X in some parts http://nanolab.com.au

     

    some ppl still using panaflex 65 as well (clicky/play)

    "Good" old days?

    Last camera refresh was in the 1990s so there are still people using them for camera backplate footage combined with digital FX of all kinds :)

    Hasselblads are medium format cameras.  4"x5" is the low end of large format cameras.  Toyo-View made some excellent ones, as well as Cambo and Horseman.  The top shooters at Playboy actually used a huge Kodak setup.  I think it was 16x24.  You need a lot of light with a view camera.  Especially when shooting a live subject.

    Forgot about this thread - again.  Derp.

    Safe from the fires that were nearby, family included. Thankful for that.

    Lost track and wandered off from 3D'ing - again.  Bleh.

    Did some drawing though. Good I guess?

    Watched Treasure Planet again. Was very fun.

    Morning. Warming up again here with a distinct scent of spring in the air *sneeze* and the odd seagull cartwheeling under a marbled white and blue sky :)

    Non complaint time.  I had a coupon for a free item if I spend at least ten dollars at bath and body works.  I went in to get one pillow mist and get a second for free.  I had my hands full with my purse, lunch bag, stadium bag and my drinks.  A friendly bath and body works employee ca!me to me and offered to put my stuff at counter while I shopped.  She told me that there was a buy two and get two free promo going on in the same line as my pillow mist so since I was thinking of getting two to go ahead get two more for free. I told her I was planning on using a coupon and was not sure if I could use it with the buy two get two free sale.  Apparently there was a coupon in an email I did not read but got for twenty five percent off my order.  They would still honor that coupon today on the sale.  I picked out two more items and went to the check out.  

    I asked for my purse back and also if I can use two coupons in one order.  I showed her my free item coupon and she said I could pick out another item with regular price 13.50 or less.  I went back and added another item to my purchase.  After that was rung up I looked at the check out screen. It said something like thirty some dollars.  I only had twenty two on me.  I told her I only had twenty two.  She said that it was okay as it was just some change over twenty one and twenty two would be fine.

    She was a good sales lady.  I went for a $13.50 pillow mist to get a pillow mist for free.  I was going to see if they had any car air fresheners for my mum but forgot to check on that.  So I expected to spend about 14 but ended up paying about six or seven more and get 5 items verses 2.  I think I did a good job.

    There was something so nice and fresh about laundry that was line dried in the sun.  Now they have to add artificially formulated perfumes to washing soaps and those dryer sheets to get that same fresh air fragrance.

    ...I've been asking the same question for decades now.  'Bout time I finally win the Megabucks Lotto, now that I'm old, retired, and no longer wild and carefree.

    Just picked up Bijou for $5.95!!!!

    Finally!  After waiting for so long!  Yeah, she's 'old' though, G2F, but whatever!

    It looks like they had finally dropped her during this sale to a regular price, then discounted huge.

    ...weather here is looking up here this week, Sun and 60s most of the week into next week,  Near 70° on Friday.

    Made a pot of curry chicken last night which will last for the next couple days.  Best cold remedy around as I finally can breathe and am not coughing like I smoke a 2 packs of ciggies a day.

    backups a lot faster with usb 3.0

    wind is using morphs on my curtains.

     

    is Venus further from us than Mars?  i've never heard of a rover going to Venus.

    i don't like roman words for our planets.  i'm okay with greek words for our constellations.

    what is a waystation exactly, or is it weighstation.

     

    working out details for space station harbor master.
    i think, cannonballism would be more of a problem in a space age semi-civilized psuedo society.

    It depends. Our orbit is closer to Venus' orbit than Mars' but the planets orbit different speeds so sometimes we can be much close to Mars than Venus and vice versa.

    Venus is a very hot, hostile environment that tears equipment up. This is why rovers don't go there (yet).
