Working on this, know it doesn't show really a lot of detail and generic. The plan is to develop it out into a full family with a thin to this being the heavy. We will see how it goes. I have all the uppercase sketched out but need to do lowercase which will be hell.
Architect: James Herbert Brownell (1962)
Developer: Pearce & Co.
Builder: Fergin-Griffin Co.
Location: San Diego (Pacific Beach), CA
Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views.
This is from an ad that appeared in the local newspaper at the time.
My recently acquired Walther PPK .32 ACP pistol.
Just for the curious, PPK stands for Polizei Pistole Kriminal Modell or Police Pistol Detective Model. It was first issued in 1931 in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) and made to be used for undercover police work. They were also issued to German military police, Luftwaffe and Nazi Party members during WWII. Hitler committed suicide with his PPK. Also famous for being James Bond's sidearm.
Most PPKs in the US were made under license by INTERARMS or Smith & Wesson (which is who made this PPK) due to laws on importing firearms this small.
(Note: This is a PPK and not a PPK/S, which uses a larger frame to hold an extra round of ammo)
Compacted trash. Here is the problem. I thought that bag was the bag I needed. It was NOT. This was from earlier. The trash gets pushed I of the dumpster and the. Shoved as hard as possible. Older trash is not as destroyed as it’s moved up and falls over. The bag I am looking for is completely smushed and buried in trash. But I had to find it.
One of the advantages of being a regular rental customer appears to be that sometimes one gets a rather large compact car.
I don't usually rent compacts, as they are not quite comfortable enough for the seven plus hours driving to and from the diocesan office in Kansas City (around 340 miles return trip).
I'm only going to Carthage and on to Joplin this weekend so I thought a $9 per day compact would suit the bill and be good stewardship too. This is what they gave me :)

Of all my super-compact 35mm cameras the Olympus is by far my favourite! It is the only one with a proper rangefinder, just like a Leica! Even though these cameras all have semi wide-angle lenses, depth-of-field at f2.8 is still narrow enough to make accurate focusing necessary, so having a rangefinder means the lens can be used wide open with confidence.
Plus the XA has aperture priority automatic exposure for an ideal compromise between convenience and control, a beautiful lens, and really convenient capsual styling with no need for a lens cap, all fitted into tiny dimensions! Can you imaging a full-frame digital compact this small?!?!
Porst compact-reflex with Porst Color Reflex Auto MC 1.4/55 G
My first "modern" M42-SLR from Porst, the Porst compact-reflex, which is Cosina CSM. This copy is only named compact-reflex, but there many cameras with a further identifier, like S, SP, AM, OC, OCN, OE, OS, OV and probably some more. It would be painful to assign those cameras to the specific Cosina model, but I think the camera above and the S/SP have M42 thread mount, the others Pentax K-mount.
For sure it is no high-end camera, but it's fine. Full electronical shutter from 4 s to 1/1000 s and one mechanical time, 1/50 s. The self-timer also looks mechanical but it works completely electronically, you can't cock it until the shutter is cocked or in position "B", and it is combined with a mirror lock-up. Viewfinder with split-screen and illuminated under/over indicator for exposure metering. Yes, the metering is a bit different compared with other cameras, where you have to stop down for metering with a DOF-button which also switches the meter on. When you press the shutter button half-way on this camera, the aperture closes and the meter is switched on. If you release the shutter again, the meter is switched off, but the aperture stay closed. If you want to open the aperture again, you have to press the silver "aperture release button" next to the lens. It's easy to confuse this button with a DOF-button. It's a clever operation, better than the one on some old Chinon cameras, where you have to close the aperture with the force of your finger via the shutter buttton.
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
Garcilla bueyera (Bubulcus ibis)
Longitud / Envergadura: 45-52 cm / 82-95 cm
Identificación: Ave de tamaño pequeño-mediano y con un cuerpo compacto de color blanco. Durante el periodo reproductor presenta tonos anaranjados en el píleo, la nuca, el pecho y la espalda, y color rojizo en las patas, el pico y los ojos. En vuelo mantiene el cuello recogido en forma de "S" y las patas estiradas.
Canto: En las colonias emite graznidos diferentes; en vuelo emite sonidos algo más suaves, "egh-egh".
Alimentación: Su dieta se basa en insectos, reptiles y micromamíferos que atrapan desde su posición encima del ganado; también es frecuente verlas detrás de los tractores, para comer los animales que van saliendo, y en los vertederos, atraidas por los insectos que allí se concentran.
Reproducción: Es una especie colonial durante la reproducción, llegando a mezclarse con otras especies de garzas en colonias de varios miles de parejas. La hembra construye el nido sobre los árboles, con los materiales que aporta el macho (raíces, ramas y a veces una capa de hierba) y ambos sexos se encargan de la incubación. Los pollos ya deambulan por las ramas después de 20 días.
HÁBITAT
Ocupa campos de cultivo, dehesas, pastizales con abundante ganado y también algunas zonas encharcables.
DISTRIBUCIÓN
En España: Se distribuye en dos áreas: una occidental (Andalucía occidental, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Madrid) y una oriental (Levante, Aragón, Navarra y País Vasco), más los núcleos existentes en las Baleares.
En Castilla y León: Se encuentran fundamentalmente dos colonias reproductoras: una en el Duero (Zamora) y otra en el río Órbigo (León).
Desplazamientos y migraciones: Se han observado dispersiones de medio alcance y desplazamientos de carácter divagante en torno a las colonias de cría. También se han detectado individuos ibéricos de invernada en otros países, y en Canarias son frecuentes en paso y durante la invernada.
POBLACIONES
En España: Se estima una población mínima de 65.000 parejas reproductoras.
ESTADO DE CONSERVACIÓN:
En el Catálogo Nacional de Especies Amenazadas figura con la categoría "De Interés Especial".
AMENAZAS
Los cambios en la gestión de residuos en los vertederos y la destrucción de nidos por causas humanas son su principal amenaza.
Well, it did take quite a few years to reach this far away corner of the Galaxy. Storm trooper at Wisbech.

Shouting the classic compact 35. Since it got wet the light meter doesn’t work but the cheap AliExpress one seems to so we will give that a go
Designed by Charles and Ray Eames the Vitra Sofa Compact was originally a design intended for their own house in California, but finally went into series production. Unusually high and divided into two horizontal strips, the backrest lends the sofa an interesting profile and clearly sets it apart from the weightiness of traditional sofas. The sofa can be folded up, making it easy to transport. Made from a chromed tubular metal frame with polyurethane foam upholstery. --------- (PAR_0507_3339 - Image copyrighted).
