Day 163 ~ Getting Sick Again
Dominic started feeling poorly and subsequently had another PFAPA Syndrome cycle… sore throat, cough, congestion, low-grade fever, and tummy pain. My sister wants all of us to get tested for CVID, which she got diagnosed with last year. It took a while, but our family doctor found an immunologist who can test and treat this disorder, so now I need to make appointments for all of us. I hate seeing my sweet boy ill… I could see it coming on in his eyes here.
The cats are getting along just fine, they are nice and playfull and sleep and cuddle together. Sadly Pixel is a little bit sick, he lost his voice, probably an infection in his throat, which we're monitoring closely.

This is an experiment with extreme macro.
A 300mm zoom lens with an inverted 28mm prime mounted in front gives a field of view around 2 mm wide on the APS-C sized sensor (300/28 =10.7:1 magnification, or over 10 times closer than a normal macro lens).
The setup is slightly disappointing because the depth of field is extremely narrow, making focusing very hard, even at small apertures. This is f13.
Rough focus manually on the zoom, tuned with a focusing rail on the tripod.
Oh, and the subject is connectors on a computer chip. They look like silver strands of hair to the naked eye.

My original flight from Atlanta to OKC that had been delayed since 4:32pm until 10:45pm was all packed and awaiting take off, but an unfortunate turn of events during the pre-flight check occurred, a breaker related to the water system failed. It seems the system had frozen in the while of being on the ground so long. We all had to get off the plane and the flight was cancelled. Bad as it seemed, it was better this was found before flying! And this was better than many stories I heard from others about sitting on the tarmac for 3 hours only having to drive back to the terminal when the pilots timed out (they must take off within a certain time period in order to keep their shifts to reasonable lengths).
On the ground as protesters entered Waterfront Park in downtown Portland was a very large cache of anti-war signs to choose from if you were unable to make your own. This young lady however created her very own purple, pink and yellow "Get Rid of Bush" sign that blew away any of the mass produced "Stop Torture" or Bring the Troops Home Now" signs. She even colored in little symbols for "No War" and "Peace on Earth" It would be great if everyone made their own signs, it adds a personal touch. You can also view this over at deviantART

Manchester Christmas Market
Don your Santa hat, dust off the mulled wine glass, and get into the festive spirit - it’s time to head down to Manchester’s world famous Christmas Markets.
Attracting shoppers from all over the UK and beyond, the market has put Manchester city centre firmly on the Christmas map – the Christmas Market has become not just a fabulous place to shop but also a hugely popular leisure destination in its own right. No Mancunian winter is complete without a wander through the chalet-lined streets of the markets.
This year the market will be celebrating its 13th year and will take over eight different spaces around the city, each with it's own distinct character and atmosphere.
The array of over 200 stalls is mind-boggling, with mouthwatering delicacies from all over Europe. The choice is getting bigger and bigger and includes gifts, crafts, jewellery, clothes, toys and an array of food and drink. Treat yourself to anything from Dutch mini pancakes, to Hungarian goulash to Spanish paella to French profiteroles. Relax with a hot chocolate, German or Spanish beer, or French wine. Soak up the atmosphere of a truly international event with a uniquely Mancunian flavour.
European and local producers offer everything from fine amber jewellery, handcrafted leather bags, and top quality bonsai trees, to Dutch cheeses, French breads, and Spanish chorizo. Perfect for alternative gift ideas.
The Christmas markets first arrived in the city in 1998, when the council of Frankfurt hosted a small traditional German market of just 17 stalls in St Ann’s Square.
And with all glasses and mugs returnable as part of an environmentally friendly deposit scheme, your Christmas markets are greener than ever.
