Private Dining


I was down in Virginia for the New Year's weekend, visiting with the wife's side of the family. My father-in-law took the clan out to dinner Saturday night to one of the local buffet restaurants, a wise option with hungry teenagers in tow.


As is my habit, I went to the men's room to wash my hands before queuing up at the troughs. As I was washing up, an older gentleman entered, a fork and plate full of food in his hands, who proceeded to one of the stalls, entered, and locked the door.


Perhaps he wanted to eat in solitude?

This Is The End

Of Kodachrome.

The very last image ever made with Kodachrome is a civil war cemetery in Parsons, Kan.

And the very last lab that still processes the film will processes it no longer.

Codes


Personally, I find area code overlays very confusing, and prefer that when a new area code is created, it be carved out of an existing area code. I do understand though, how finding yourself with a new area code can be a burden in the short term.

Gorilla Crotch??


For some inexplicable reason, the phrase "gorilla crotch" popped into my head yesterday. Why? I have no idea, hence the "inexplicable" in the first sentence. While pondering the seeming randomness of this phrase, it occurred to me that it would be a great name for a band! But who has the time (and in my case, talent) for a band these days?


So, I decided to take (read: steal) an idea from Steve over at The Sneeze, and form an on-line imaginary band that anyone can join! So in comments, select your instrument and join the band!


I'll be playing Rhythm clarinet.


Oh, and you haven't lived until you've heard "Free Bird" played on three basses and drums.
