Not much Hattie loves more than going for a ride/walk. She gets in on the passenger side and immediately goes and sits in the driver’s seat. When I open the door she moves over to her side. Every time.

Ten year old iPhone
The phone on the left is a 3GS from 2009. Fits the palm of my hand. Barb found it in the back of a drawer. I’d forgotten how small the early phones were (the phone on the right is a XS). I still prefer the smaller phones but that ship has sailed.
The Mays Boys
Visiting my brother for a couple of days. He’s one of the nicest, most interesting people on the planet.
Land Rover reunion
“An 87-year-old woman received the reunion of a lifetime when she got to spend time in an original Land Rover she worked with 70 years ago.
Dorothy Peters told her story to Land Rover, which in turn granted her time with the car she kept pictures of for decades to come. According to the woman, she and her mother went to the Land Rover factory (then called Rover) as she looked for employment opportunities in July of 1946. She was 15 when the automaker hired her as part of the service department at the Lode Lane factory working alongside the first series Land Rovers to be built at the site.” Motor Authority
Camcorder video
This found photo reminded me of how difficult it used to be to record, edit and share video. Only the true geek (or your uncle) carried one of these cameras around. When you did get some video you had to get it off the camera and into that big old desktop computer (SCSI) where you could edit it with really bad software. If you wanted to share it you made the video teeny tiny to keep the file size down. Then all you could do was email it. No place to share. Better than Super8 but just barely.
