Power restored to the home. We had a rare scheduled shutdown of electricity in our estate, from 9-11am, because of some construction work that needed the power supply to be cut.

My friend pointed out that my photo of the short blackout in the NE part of Singapore, looks like an album cover. For our new imaginary band, Power Failure, the album name: Rescue in Operation. Power Failure is maybe the brother band of Power Station (動力火車). Or it can also be a U2 album cover.

www.npr.org/2022/07/18/1... “I make the most and the least sense when I'm riding my bike. It's one of the rare things in life that lets you escape from the world, while also connecting you to it. I love to spin my way through forests, around lakes, and into little communities I never knew existed.”
npr.org
Just like life, riding my bike doesn't always make sense. But that's why I love it
Cycling is especially good for people with long-running knee problems or health issues. I've been able to do everything I've wanted to, but a clamor of what-ifs were often in the back of my mind.

It’s interesting to me that iMessage displays the name you saved a contact under when you tag them. But I use a nickname for my wife in my Contacts. And everyone in an iMessage group chat can see that nickname when I tag her. Good thing I didn’t name her Tits McGee.

Recently, a friend’s dry cabinet failed without his knowing, and it caused the expensive lenses and cameras within to get fungus. 70-80% humidity inside. Yikes. So I use separate hygrometers in my dry cabs, linked to an app, to alert me if the humidity goes beyond 60%. Mine are from Inkbird.

The way I see it, if you pay S$7,999 for a Fujifilm GF100RF, and if a roll of 120 film costs S$18 for Kodak Gold or S$33 for Portra, while developing and scanning is about S$12 a roll, you only need to shoot 2,133 to 3,200 images to cover the cost of the new camera. Photographer Math!
