***What Are You Smoking, March 2025?***

[MisterDearly]

I get the photo problem, but from a different perspective. I'm a avid photographer, and a Linux user. My photographs are all taken with either a B&W 4x5, (I still shoot mostly film and develop it in a darkroom believe it or not) or a 24mp DSLR which is color balanced for my Canon Pixma-1 Pro printer for exhibition prints. The color profile on my DSLRs are balanced with my Pixma, and I'm not going to alter it for a forum posting, so most of the pics I post suck.

The simple answer is to use a cellphone, which takes care of all that. However, (and no, I'm not a luddite and am actually pretty tech savvy) I HATE AND LOATH cellphones, and have only a 3G Blackberry Passport of O'bama years vintage, and operate it only when I have to and only on talk and text. Why? Just take a look at the kids on the street, glued to those obnoxious devices.

I’m also a Linux guy! Rock on.

I was extra hungry knowing that I lost enough weight to enjoy a big lunch: a Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins thrown in, two large open face ham, cheddar cheese and two eggs sandwiches with a bunch of unsalted peanuts and a golden delicious apple. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Peru Penachi Fair Trade Organic, neat, is my drink. Abner the Eager snoozed a bit after he ate, and I just let him out. I got samples of the Rivertown series to review today, and will match up pipes with the blends soon. Waching one of my favorite Maverick episodes: Gun-Shy. It's a delightful parody of Gunsmoke.

Picked up some side work today and I’m just getting home. Settled into a bowl of Boswell’s Christmas Cookie in my Boswell pipe. A nice much needed glass of water to accompany it. Walked nearly 8 miles today so taking a much needed break
