It's ironic that the "Six Million Dollar Man" is invariably *slower* than
the rest of us. :-)
 
It was good to bask for a few days in the mid 70's temperatures of San
Diego. I was in pure tourist mode for the few days I was there, but shot
only one roll of FP4+ in a Rolleiflex GX.

I would get roasted on the LUG for posting an image like that. I *do* want
to thanks the RUGer who reminded me that 120 roll film goes very nicely
through metal detectors (I kept 8 rolls in my pockets). However, the TLR
itself seemed to spook the people manning the X-ray machines. In four
separate X-rayings of my carry-on luggage, three staff didn't know what it
was (and searched the bag). One staff said "It's a Brownie" and let it go.

I wish I had stopped. It was overcast, which I prefer for taking photos in

say "Are you Jerry or Don?"


It wouldn't have been me at this point.  I'm still in the middle of my
conversion to a bionic man, but after my final surgery (knees) in December I
will be very much out and about.  At this point I don't walk much, just
drive.

You would probably have made a close guess, the only other person you might
have seen down here using a Rollei that day would have been Slobodan, who
lives about 99 miles from here.
