The BEST part of getting old (and there are many) is that you can ABSOLUTELY miss something wildly popular. Zooshas just flying by while you’re admiring someone’s sensible shoes or whatever. Bliss.

Staying in another one of Marriott’s “Postcard” glamping trailers tonight. Cheaper than nearby Fairfield Inn, and something I prefer.

The always enchanting Aldous Harding never fails to mesmerize. And her backing band is soo tight and top-notch. Last night at Chicago’s Thalia Hall.

Methinks this Minolta Freedom Tele takes pix that are far too nice for #shittycamerachallenge. Heck, Minolta made a version for Leica (as the AF-C1). #minoltamafia

Weapons-grade Big Altima Energy. The front was just as battered. And it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that he drove like a total a-hole.

This is the bike of one of the cyclists who was "bumped" by the pick-up truck driver. This sort of language is one way that media outlets downplay traffic violence.
