Yes, if it wasn't clear, that's what the first line on the left is supposed to say. What the alternative is to dial phones, I'm not really sure.

Also, could not have predicted the spots!

“Good evening, Moons,” said Reala, answering the phone.
“Hello Reala, it’s Alpaca,” said Alpaca.
“Oh no,” sighed Reala. “What now?”
“Just letting you know, I’ve set up a telephone hotline,” said Alpaca. “You can call me for spiritual teachings and lessons.”
“Really?” said Reala, bracing herself.
“Yeah,” said Alpaca. “Dial-a-llama…”

Finally for today, here’s a bonus image I wanted to share, just because I think it’s way too cool not to do so :P Now, you’re probably curious as to the origin of this unique sign, so to answer all your questions on that, I’ll direct you over to my latest blog post for all the details!
And last up tonight, as always, here is your weekly dose of music recommendations. Apparently September has ended already – where does the time go?!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

I've been trying to figure out
How to dial it back and slow it down
Can't be as complicated as it seems
The heart of me loves yesterday
So pardon me now while I make
My way back to the simple things

If only that were possible...
Second chances, "do overs"...
So my horoscope for THIS week!! :
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You have been doing a lot of serious thinking lately because something internally or externally has prompted you to weigh and ponder your values. In other words, you want to know what really matters in life so that you aren't 90 years old, saying, "I blew it." Fortunately, the next 12-18 months are fun-loving and popular! You will enjoy warm friendships more than you have in a long time. You will also benefit from others. "Hey, thanks for this!"
So, translated that means what? I am going to have fun with my friends for the next year and a half, and then I am still going to say at age 90 (or probably much, much sooner)... "Crap! I blew it!!" Hey!! Thanks for this!!!
Looking forward to the next year and a half anyway.... because... "it's the little things....the simple things"....fun with friends ♥
Let's just dial it back and slow it down.... sounds good.
I enjoy photographing ordinary objects and trying to make them something more than ordinary. I also like close-up and macro shots, and I especially like the way showing part of an object can be far more exciting and interesting than showing the whole thing.
I used all of those aspects of my photographic voice when I shot this old rotary phone at an antique store. I wanted to emphasize the dial, and of course that 60's mustard yellow color that you probably couldn't get today if you tried.

Won for only US$22.50 with free shipping on eBay, in India, where watchmakers still work on old watches, cleaning, lubricating, and reselling them with new crystals, new dials, new rubber seals, etc.
This one is a Cal. 7019A, with 21 jewels, made in the 1980's. When it arrived it was a little fast (gaining about a minute and a half a day) but I managed to adjust the speed very accurately on subsequent days, to the point where this now is my most accurate Seiko, not gaining or losing more than 4 seconds a day (which was the accuracy of the most accurate railroad pocket watches of about 100 years ago, when accuracy was very important in order to keep trains on time).
It's rather difficult to adjust these watches, because the regulator lever is very short (unlike the railroad pocket watches of 100 years ago).
I do it with a wooden toothpick and a 7x magnifier, holding the magnifier with the left hand (while also holding the watch band high enough to see the movement).
The nudges required to move the regulator are in the order of a fraction of a millimeter, and even with all my experience in doing this, I often have to adjust back and forth over several days, because one usually ends up pushing the regulator past the ideal position, and when one finally arrives at the ideal position, it's usually by accident.
The watch sellers in India usually tell buyers to expect a minute or two of inaccuracy per day, because they can't afford the time to adjust more accurately. And it's not just a question of time, it's also a question of what position the watch is in. I wear the watch while testing it for accuracy, during which time the watch will assume all positions, but the watchmakers in India would have to wear each watch for several days while adjusting, and understandably that would be too much to expect from them, as they usually work on many watches on any given day.
