Look at this for a stereo. Isn't it ace? The display is terrific, packed with functions yet still foolproof-easy to use. The AM tuner is a proper rotary dial (rather than a daft button - have you tried to find 5Live with one??), it's easy to profile sound, and you can even tweak the mid-range, alongside bass and treble.
You've got a clock there, an outside temperature gauge, plus the first showing of the Soul's theme. See the wiggly shape around the vertical buttons? You'll be seeing a lot more of it...
Also note the central grey strip running through the stereo. And, above, the hazard winker panel. And, below, the HVAC controls. How ace is that for a detail?

1. The Story of the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels Marker
Inscription. Click to hear the inscription. Colorado's scenic wonders lured settlers and tourists alike. Geography and weather placed strict limits on travel routes and seasons. Politicians, engineers, and citizens often disagreed about how to cross the Continental Divide. Between 1941 and 1943, the Department of Highways constructed the "Pioneer Bore," the first attempted construction of a high-altitude tunnel near Loveland Pass. The 7'x7' tunnel was just over a mile long. The route was eventually abandoned as road standards changed after 1945.
In the 1950s, the Western Slope agricultural community needed reliable, year-round routes to Denver markets and railroads, while Colorado's booming tourism industry demanded improved highways. The 1956 Interstate Highway Act provided federal funding to answer these challenges. The route along Straight Creek, today's westbound Eisenhower tunnel bore, was deemed the best of eight possible routes, but construction would not begin for another decade.
Despite occasional snow flurries, and temperatures in the mid-30s, Colorado Governor John A. Love dedicated the Eisenhower Tunnel on March 8, 1973. He proclaimed the tunnel to be "the Paid Advertisement

most effective answer to tying east and west Colorado together and opening the way West." The tunnel, open in all weather, saved motorists 9.1 miles of the slow, winding road over Loveland Pass.
Before the first tunnel opened, the Department's engineers were designing the second bore. The Eisenhower Tunnel accommodated both east and west bound traffic and the Department knew that was not a long-term solution. Excavation of today's eastbound Johnson Tunnel began in 1975. Completed and dedicated on December 21, 1979, this second tunnel was named for Colorado Governor and U.S. Senator Edwin C. Johnson.

Rules for the road
An avid sportsman, Dwight Eisenhower started visiting Colorado shortly after World War II. Like the average citizen, "Ike" occasionally found himself caught in traffic on U.S. Highway 40 between Fraser and Denver. As president, he signed the Federal Interstate Highway Act of 1956. The Colorado state legislature memorialized him by naming the Straight Creek Tunnel, today's westbound bore, the Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel in 1972.
The observant engineer
From survey crew to executive director, Charles Shumate spent five decades (1924-1975) employed by the Colorado Department of Highways. Shumate was an engineer's engineer and a newspaper reporter's dream as he was always good for a Paid Advertisement

quote. In 1963, as work began on the bore beneath the Continental Divide, Shumate pronounced the work "the most difficult feat ever undertaken by the Colorado Highway Department."
A new light at the tunnel
A Department of Highways clerical error offered Janet Bonnema a tunnel engineering job in 1970, transforming the Department's workplace culture. In 1972, a state constitutional amendment guaranteed equal rights for women, superseding miners' superstitions about women underground. Eighteen months after she was hired, engineer Janet Bonnema went underground to perform her duties, prompting a walkout of about 60 workers. All but one man returned the next day.
Phillip McOllough, project engineer
Phillip McOllough was the Department of Highways' tunnel construction engineer, and later district engineer, for both the Eisenhower and Johnson bores. From July 1968 until the Johnson tunnel opened in 1979, McOllough helped create and implement new construction techniques when the workers encountered "bad rock". His cautious work saved lives and brought both tunnels to a successful completion. He was district engineer until 1981.
The tunnel's guiding light
R. C. (Rube) Hopper served as the tunnel's district engineer during the Eisenhower bore's construction. Hopper oversaw the drilling of multiple small tunnels, or drifts, in an arch pattern and backfilled with concrete. The drifts provided necessary support to keep the mountain's "bad rock" from crashing down on workers and equipment. Reflecting on construction, Hopper joked: "We were going by the book, but the mountain couldn't read."
Big Ed
Edwin C. "Big Ed" Johnson fought to bring an interstate highway to the Rockies. Serving three terms as U.S. Senator and two terms as Governor, Johnson used his political savvy to convince the federal government to route the interstate through Colorado. Johnson's efforts broke the decades-long stalemate over high country road construction. The state named the eastbound bore in his memory in 1979.
[Right column]Challenges
How to open a mountain
Challenges of tunnel construction at 11,000 feet included reduced efficiency of workers and equipment and a shorter construction season. After careful planning and a pioneer bore, engineers could not predict all rock conditions. In 1967, the winning bid was $54 million to open the Eisenhower bore. The final cost topped over $100 million. Rechanging the tunneling method due to bad rock conditions doubled the cost.
Time is money
It took less time, but it wasn't less expensive the second time around. The Eisenhower bore was still under construction when the state opened bids for the Johnson bore. The Johnson bore's final cost topped approximately $100 million. Engineers estimate that if these tunnels were built in the early 21st century they would cost around $1.5 billion.
Mining a tunnel
Excavation comprised four tasks — drilling, loading, shooting and mucking. Holes were drilled around the rock the miners wanted to remove. Explosives were then loaded into these holes and "shot," or blasted. After each blast, miners and front-end loaders mucked out loose rock and dumped it into narrow-gauge mining cars pulled by an electric locomotive. The Department ultimately used the loose rock in road construction.
Cold, noisy and dark: Life inside the mountain
Eight hours of sensory overload may be the best way to describe a shift in the Eisenhower and Johnson bores. The Denver Post described conditions inside the mountain as "sound becomes a physical torrent," water "leaks" from the rocks and miners wore "grimy, rubber-coated tub overalls." At construction's peak, 1,140 people worked three shifts 24 hours a day for six days a week.
Pride
Before the Tunnels
In the 1960s, Charles Shumate witnessed "50 to 75 cars going around and around the capitol building honking their horns and with signs saying, 'The Western Slope Needs to Tunnel Under the Continental Divide'." The completed tunnels linked eastern and western Colorado with a year-round reliable route. Approximately 310 million vehicles drove the tunnels from the late 1970s to the early 21st century.
The tunnels today
The Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels are the largest structures built with Interstate funds and stand at an elevation of 11,158 feet, the highest on the Interstate system. Construction took 13 years and $220 million to mine the tunnels, build the ventilation buildings, and the highway approaches to the tunnels.
A staff of approximately 50 persons perform critical operations and maintenance duties at the tunnels at every hour of every day to keep traffic moving across Colorado. Every day, workers watch for and immediately respond to vehicle breakdowns or other problems that might slow down or stop traffic, or lead to more serious accidents. In fact, there has never been a fatal accident in the tunnels in 40+ years of operation.
[Sidebar]
We knew there was bad rock in there
Problem: By 1969, all involved in construction faced a dilemma. They knew that the mountain still moved along the Loveland Fault and fragile rock could come crashing down at any time. Designed to dig and hold up the rock simultaneously, a 450-ton mining shield moved only a few yards before a combination of loose rock and pressure unintentionally seized the shield in its tracks.
Technique: The builders opted for the multiple drilling method. Crews dug 13 small tunnels, or drifts, six to eight feet tall, to form an arch. Workers filled each drift with concrete. The drifts were dug starting at the bottom of the arch so the concrete at the top of the first drift served as the second drift's floor.
Result: The multiple drilling method prevented further cave-ins and allowed subsequent excavation of the mountain's middle where crews expanded the tunnel . Tunnel engineer R.C. (Rube) Hopper observed that multiple drilling was "a little slow, but it is foolproof."

If you drive at twice the legal alcohol limit you are at least 30 times more likely to cause a road crash, than a driver who hasn't been drinking.
Any amount of alcohol affects your ability to drive. There is no foolproof way of drinking and staying under the limit or of knowing how much an individual person can drink and still drive safely.
Each person's tolerance to alcohol depends on a range of factors:
• weight
• gender
• age
• metabolism
• current stress levels
• whether they have eaten recently
• amount of alcohol
So the only safe option is not to drink alcohol if you plan to drive, and never offer an alcoholic drink to someone else who is intending to drive.

The aptly named longhorn beetle isn't particularly known for the mastery of its wings. And yet this brave young individual seemed undeterred by such facts, and took to the air triumphantly- only to crash land against the concrete wall that had been only two inches away from his starting point. This adamant determination was a source of great annoyance to me, because it rendered the completion of the morphological analysis required for foolproof identification impossible.
Ultimately, I never managed to identify this beetle because he kept buzzing around the room like an ecstatic pilot who had had a little too much to drink. This was the last photo that he permitted- he flew out of the nearest window into the garden only a moment later, where he wouldn't encounter
any walls...

Some people think that a cage can protect them from harm. They are wrong. A cage can only protect you from some kinds of harm, like angry lions or hungry sharks. But there are other kinds of harm that a cage cannot protect you from, like boredom, loneliness or existential dread. In fact, a cage might even make those things worse. So the next time you feel like hiding in a cage, remember that it's not a foolproof solution. You might be better off facing your fears and living your life to the fullest. Unless, of course, there's a lion or a shark nearby. Then you should definitely get in the cage.

I got the mini-lathe set up after far too many months of inactivity - I no longer want to make bowls, made more than I could ever use, thrown most away - or anything really but i do enjoy the feeling, sound and smell of the blade cutting through the timber, especially if it is a clean cut. So I gather odd scraps of prunings from the garden, small twigs really and just smooth them down and use them to practice curves, straight edges and similar spindle techniques. Plus I get a bit of sawdust for the garden.
When I started turning - self taught - I had a top of the range Symtec - foolproof for those who cannot turn and supposedly perfectly safe - except in my hands as I used it with massive lumps of irregular timbers from wherever I could find them - lost a window and sideboard glass door from flyaways. Then I went right up market and got another Australian made pro-level lathe - you do not want to know how much they cost - and started using "real chisels" - the safe one used a jig.
Along the way I bought a small Record lathe for our Coffin Bay holiday house, but passed that on to a friend and when I moved to Tasmania I sold the lot but kept my tools - just in case! About a year after arriving here I bought this tiny mini lathe for about $150 if I recall correctly, very limited but I enjoy the challenge of working on tiny pieces with full size tools, all these scraps were turned with just the massive curved roughing gouge and my very short (from wear) 1/2" skew chisel - Lot of fun .
This year, 2026 is the centenary of the formation of Zeiss Ikon, a major player in European camera manufacture in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 20th century.
To mark this anniversary, I've decided to use a different Zeiss Ikon camera every two weeks throughout the year, a project I'm calling “Twenty-six in Twenty-six”.
Zeiss Ikon launched their series of Contaflex cameras in 1953. Over the following 20 years or so, twelve versions were made with ever increasing degrees of sophistication and indeed weight. A wide range of accessories was available, and these precision made leaf shuttered SLRs proved very popular. The Contaflex 126 is a different beast altogether, it may share the name and bear a superficial resemblance to the rest of the family, but it's something of a cuckoo in the nest.
Kodak introduced the 126, or Instamatic cartridge in 1963. It was intended to provide a simple, foolproof way for a growing numbers of less technically savvy users to load film into their cameras. Although the film is 35mm wide, the format is not the same. The film, which has one perforation per frame and sits within a plastic cartridge, is backed by a roll of paper, and gives square negatives measuring 28 x 28mm. Until very recently Instagram's native format was square, and it may be that the name itself was riffing on the Instamatic brand.
While the format was unashamedly aimed at the amateur snapshot market, many of the major manufacturers added a token higher end SLR 126 model to their range. This is a bit of a puzzle to me, one criticism of the 126 cartridge is that the absence of a pressure plate to keep the film absolutely flat might theoretically impair the image quality, yet surely any photographer with such technical concerns wouldn't be put off by the easily learnable step of loading a 35mm cassette into a camera. Nonetheless, Rollei, Kodak, Ricoh and of course the prestigious Zeiss Ikon, felt the need to pitch in.
Unlike the “normal” Contaflexes, which at best have interchangeable front elements, the 126 version has fully interchangeable lenses,though with a mount which is unique to this one model. Optical physics dictate that the longest practical focal length that can be achieved by swapping the front element is 115mm, but the 126 range of lenses went up to 200mm, though it seems that very few of these lenses were actually made. The other key difference between the 35mm and 126 Contaflexes, is that the latter employ a focal plane shutter rather than the traditional leaf shutter.
Today, with the only 126 film available being long expired, it's actually quite useful to be able to set the camera manually. The oft quoted rule of thumb that film loses sensitivity at a rate of one stop per decade, means that an ISO 100 film made in the 1970s would need to be exposed at around ISO 3 today. Most consumer Instamatic cameras won't allow this, but using an aperture of f2.8, and the shutter speed of 1/30th, it's practical to use the Contaflex 126 in reasonable daylight. The film is very expired Fujicolor Super HR 100, developed in the Bellini C41 kit.

It started out when I went to the kitchen one day, searched all over, and found nothing in there that can satisfy my sweets craving. Banana bread doesn't count as it's meant for breakfast and hardly sweet enough to be termed as a snack. The fastest, simplest thing to bake which is at the same time, popular and foolproof is - the chocolate chip cookie.
I've been trying all sorts of recipes - chewy, cakey, light and fluffy, but I haven't made crunchy ones before, at least not from scratch and the cookie mix from Phoon Huat doesn't count. So here goes, my very first crunchy chocolate chip cookie! I love the way they spread into nice rounded cookies and even left tracks where I pressed my fork against the top. It has just the right amount of sweetness (according to my taste) and has a lovely vanilla taste to the cookie - my favourite cookie jar kinda cookie!
I used Valrhona Pearls in these rather than my usual Ghiradhelli Semisweet/Bittersweet chips. The pearls, being smaller and rounder, looks really cute in this cookie and they were considerably less sweet than Ghiradhelli. Okay, I really love these cookies, pardon the excessive raving...heh.

I got the mini-lathe set up after far too many months of inactivity - I no longer want to make bowls, made more than I could ever use, thrown most away - or anything really but i do enjoy the feeling, sound and smell of the blade cutting through the timber, especially if it is a clean cut. So I gather odd scraps of prunings from the garden, small twigs really and just smooth them down and use them to practice curves, straight edges and similar spindle techniques. Plus I get a bit of sawdust for the garden.
When I started turning - self taught - I had a top of the range Symtec - foolproof for those who cannot turn and supposedly perfectly safe - except in my hands as I used it with massive lumps of irregular timbers from wherever I could find them - lost a window and sideboard glass door from flyaways. Then I went right up market and got another Australian made pro-level lathe - you do not want to know how much they cost - and started using "real chisels" - the safe one used a jig.
Along the way I bought a small Record lathe for our Coffin Bay holiday house, but passed that on to a friend and when I moved to Tasmania I sold the lot but kept my tools - just in case! About a year after arriving here I bought this tiny mini lathe for about $150 if I recall correctly, very limited but I enjoy the challenge of working on tiny pieces with full size tools, all these scraps were turned with just the massive curved roughing gouge and my very short (from wear) 1/2" skew chisel - Lot of fun .

Detail from yesterdays hike.
I really like much of the new iPhone 15 Pro's Camera system. Much improved from it's predecessors and while still not perfect nor foolproof the artificial DOF portrait mode really can be absolute good. Like in this case. And if it's not you can always go back to the original. Just wish _all_ the lenses would boast the new main lens resolution.
