Well, that was interesting.

Went to the local camera shop to trade in a Nikon telephoto lens and a F to Z Nikon lens converter. Got a fair trade, and was walking out...when another guy was walking IN with the exact same lens I bought new in his mits. He asked if I just bought it and I said yes. He told me he bought his from B&H brought it on a cruise but never used it and decided he didn't need the focal range of the lens (180-600) and it was a bit too bulky for him. It was past his return period, so he wanted to recoup some funds from it.

I asked what he wanted for it, and he wanted only 58% of what it cost new (with tax included) - So I walked in, returned the lens I bought, paid him via Zelle, and used my credit to pick up a teleconverter...and still came out ahead.

The guy kept saying, "This is extremely serendipitous." Yup, what are the chances that someone leaving with and someone coming by with the same lens for the same camera, one leaving, one coming would bump into each other at the entrance and strike up something?

The camera shop was a bit confused, but they were still happy since I did use my credit anyway, and I didn't use the new lens yet.

Odd, but serendipitous encounter indeed.

Anyway the thing I didn't mention yesterday is at the Enoshima train stop the no-car-entry pylon poles have little decorative metalworked birds on them, and somebody thought the metal birds looked cold so they crocheted them little sweaters

Is it the offensive line? Is it the offensive coordinator? Is it the receivers? Is it the head coach? Is it Caleb Williams or Justin Fields?

It's the #ChicagoBears. #NFL

Make it make sense, why are the Colts starting Flacco?

American Experiment ends in catastrophic laboratory explosion

WASHINGTON D.C. - After almost 250 years of data-gathering, the American experiment has ended in a catastrophic laboratory explosion.

It only lasted for 2 minutes and I had to change the lens to my widest in the bag and just got one picture before it was only a little stripe rising from the ground. Yes it was a panic moment.
