356 Porsche

 In 1977 I was in my VW squareback with a coupler of guys. a half a dozen other guys were in a couple of other cars. One of the cars was a white 356 Porsche. It was the middle of winter and we were headed north over rabbit ears pass. Snow was piled up and snow plows had plowed straight walls of frozen snow on both sides of the road. But it was night time and the snow didn't look like solid ice. We got to horsing around, gunning our cars and spinning on the icy road. The 356 has a rear engine and when the driver started spinning out of control he cranked the steering wheel around the wrong direction and the car spun into the ice wall. I can still see the front fender buckling and the headlight smashing. Fortunately there wasn't any serious damage done to the car and no one was hurt. We were going to steamboat springs for skiing, and that gave us a reminder that bad things can happen. The rest of the ski trip went fine.

spirits

  It's becoming evident that the planet is saturated in spirits and, dare I say it, demons. They really are everywhere. If you get an uneasy feeling, you most likely are under attack. They are real, it's not some psychological anomaly or left over distant frustration from your childhood.

pixel 2 xl , 3xl, 4xl

 I currently own a pixel 2 XL. At this point it is a 5-year-old design. It still gets pretty good reviews on the internals even for being so old. Apparently some of the progress has kind of slowed down. Processor improvements and even camera improvements are minimal. It took excellent pictures 5 years ago and it still takes excellent pictures today. Having said that the pixel 3 and pixel 4 are starting to come down in price quite a bit. So let's talk about that. The pixel 3 has some improvements but nothing major. The big thing that everybody points out between the pixel 3 and the pixel 2 is the screen. The pixel 2 screen is somewhat faded looking compared to the typical phone. It's still very sharp the colors are still in color and it works just fine, but really it doesn't look like something that used to cost $950. Still that's what they sold it for. So that alone really doesn't make it worth upgrading to pixel 3. The pixel 3 screen is slightly bigger but the pro...

pixel 2 XL camera focus

  For almost a year the camera focus has been irritating at times. Especially when taking close up pictures. The camera would focus on stuff that was further away because it took up more of the field of view. Then finally this morning the thought occurred, why not click on what you want in focus and see what happens. And here are the results.   Notice June 13 is out of focus.   By clicking on 13 the focus automatically changes and then take the picture.   I'm hopeful that Jesus will figure out some way to get those Google guys into heaven.    Here is an example of a fantastic picture ruined by focus problems.    Armed with the new knowledge of resetting the focus more fantastic pictures can be produced.
