Sitting next to the woodstove enjoying some coffee, when the phone rings. Hello, this is the Staunton Post Office. We have some chicks for you.
After what seemed like 4 hours, I made it back home and ALL the chicks survived. Now that doesn't sound like a big deal. But considering they were hatched on Monday and shipped in the back of a semi from Pennsylvania in this weather, it IS a big deal.
Alas, neither of us won the prize. In fact, I bought another ticket the following week and that didn't win the prize either. Some lucky person in Pennsylvania won the $456.7 million jackpot. I guess that home on Stinson Beach will have to wait Chin...

Leighton, LOVE the series showing a day in the life of a Shenandoah farmer on the SECOND DAY OF SPRING...
Today happens to be Sue's birthday so despite the fact we have drizzling rain, we're heading into San Francisco for lunch at Green's Restaurant, owned and operated by San Francisco Zen Center.

but I only ever see old women there

Wow. Looks like the winter is a bit prolonged where you live too. I bet sitting by the wood stove looking out is quite cosy.
It WAS cozy, for awhile anyway.

One more from Annapolis, in front of the State Capitol building. This is the statue of Justice Thurgood Marshall. Born in Baltimore, he went on to become a Supreme Court justice.
A giant of a man, what's impressive is his rise from a very simple background.

Probably a bunch of OLD MEN at the Florida post offices, too.
Somehow I suspect that if you did pick up some of the chicks you wanted to pick up at the post office, you'd have a different sort of welcome home... remember the cartoon Bringing Up Father?

I was looking at properties on sale at the Sea Drift, guess that's off the cards for now. Maybe I can scrimp and save enough for that new mf Laowa 9mm...

George and I were just talking about that lens. If you get it, PM me and let me know what you think, please.
Tbh, the main thing stopping me from buying a non-Nikon MF lens is this thread.
I brought my Fuji lenses (14mm and 27mm) along for my trip stateside but I didn't take a single shot with them. I only mounted the 27mm once to show Curtis how small the whole setup could be (sorry Reagan, he didn't seem impressed) and that was all.
I do miss the crazy wide that my 14-24mm afforded me so I'm always on the lookout.
And I rarely use longer lenses because, well, everything is way too close to everything else here in city-state Singapore
I can appreciate why the 55/1.2 is a natural fit for Curtis
Then I borrowed that hunk of glass - 105/1.8

Here are a couple b&w conversions from the east side of the Sierra Nevada.
The first one is Lone Pine Peak, near the Mt. Whitney portal. It was made with the 180/2.8 ED. The second is a shot of Convict Lake taken with the 28/2.8.
