I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride"
And so I climbed into the cab, and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land"
I've been everywhere, man I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man I've been everywhere

How to catch the biggest eclipse in a century
领英推荐
By cjfeola in Photography on Mar 5, 2024
The moon will block out the sun and create a path of unnatural night across North America on April 8. Starting from the Pacific Ocean, the?total eclipse of the sun will enter Mexico around noon, then head up through Texas north and east to the Great Lakes. From there the path of totality will follow the US-Canadian border before heading out into the Atlantic in the early evening, after which a partial eclipse will be visible from Great Britain and Ireland. If you miss it, you can catch the next North American total solar eclipse on Aug. 23, 2044.
Coming in summer with manual film winding and a lens based on the Espio Mini
By cjfeola in Pentax Announcements on Mar 1, 2024
The first half-frame camera in Pentax's storied film history will ship this summer, according to Film Project Designer Takeo "TKO" Suzuki. The camera will feature manual film winding and rewinding, an electronic shutter, automatic exposure control, and a lens with the same 25mm field of view of the Ricoh Auto Half, with the optical design based on the Pentax Espio Mini.
TKO made the announcement in a new video dropped on the Pentax Film Project web page early March 1 (Tokyo time).?
Easter Eggs
I've given up on the Easter Egg roundups on LinkedIn. Ever since LinkedIn changed how it handles embeds almost all music videos fail. You can still see the roundup on Substack, if you like.

Sunday March 17th — While the screamers shout, America quietly works just fine. It’s fashionable to talk about how American government no longer works, and to point out the latest Washington shenanigans. Perhaps. But all over America Americans are quietly and calmly governing themselves. Here’s a little story about that. Last month Ft. Worth asked 72 people to show up for jury duty. All 72 showed up. Six times. And were smart and quiet and extremely respectful discussing an extraordinarily distressing case.
