Photos (New Action Shots of Mackenzie & Bella) Plus My Usual Comments

 The photos for this post of two competitive paddle tennis players are recent photos for a change.  Hope you enjoy checking these out as much as I enjoyed shooting them.  I've been checking all my photos (29,000 of them!) and found around 2,000 or so that were duplicates or very similar.  I had to compare each set of dupes to see if one photo was better so was unable to use auto on duplicate finder software.  New software is amazing for fixing photos but it takes time and I wanted to fix the same images only once, hence the search and destroy for the dupes.

In the photos below, Mackenzie is in red and Bella is in black and white.  Reminds me of that old joke:  What's black and white and red all over?

As many of you may know, I've discussed health in many past posts.  If you check the statistics, you'll find the U.S. is way down the list of all countries for longevity.  It is at or near the top of the list for infant mortality, chronic health conditions, and in general, we have the worst health of any developed country.  Not to mention autism rates going from 1 in 10,000 about 40 years ago to 1 in 32 (or higher) now.  So it was nice to hear RFK, Jr's slogan, Make America Healthy Again.  That is why I recommend The Highwire each week.  Here is what I do to stay Healthy.  I have now added ginger and Bioperine (black pepper extract) to that superfood mix.  

As always, I hope you enjoy this post and the photos. 

And may you all go to health.

Photos and Comments - the Continuing Series

 I keep discovering more photos I shot with negative/positive film and then scanned.  So I think I will have a never-ending supply to post here.  Without further adieu, here are my selections for this post.

The above photo was taken under the giant (and famous) fig tree along US 101 in Santa Barbara.  Probably late 1980s although it could have been taken today.

A lake outside of Phoenix, Arizona, 1970s.

Ocean Front Walk at Venice Beach - early 1980s.

The bottom photo was part of something that was being filmed - on Ocean Front Walk at Venice Beach, near the basketball courts.

World-Renowned Vaccinologist Publishes Paper Admitting Lack of Vaccine Safety Studies.  I mentioned this in my last post but this is a more detailed look at vaccine "safety."  And in case you missed my past  vaccine posts on this blog, check out this week's The Highwire.  

A New Blog Post with Old Photos & New Comments

The hardest part of these blog posts is knowing what to say in the title.  Some of you may be wondering why I switched from posts on FB to blog posts here.  It's because I can add links here that my FB memories have shown as missing, plus too many ads and other things popping up on my timeline.  Here are the new old photos for this week.  Hope you enjoy them as well as the comments.

A cutout of Reagan and a beautiful young local Venice girl named Jana.  Having photographed many models, I used to tell her she should go into modeling.  I don't know if that influenced her but she became a top model.  A wonderful person and a beautiful model.  You never know who you might meet along Ocean Front Walk at Venice Beach.

Joey the Clown - along Ocean Front Walk, Venice Beach, early to mid 1980s.  

Some fun at KABC - the girl delivered birthday telegrams.  Those kinds of telegram companies were a big thing in the 1980s.  I wonder if they still are?

LAPD beach patrol officer in front of the old Venice Beach Pavilion, early 1980s.  I used to have some nice conversations with him.  I heard he had quit the LAPD and went into teaching.

In the mid 1980s I drove a Limo for a company called Limo, Limo, Limo.  Here are two of my passengers in the back of the limo, the one on the left raised show horses in FL, and the one on the right was a weather girl for a TV station at the time.

Finally, for this week, a photo from a movie set in Santa Monica.  I don't know if that girl was posing for me or I just got a lucky shot but either way, love the result.

So much has happened over the past couple of weeks, from the attempted assassination of Trump to Biden not seeking re-election, and Harris being the nominee now.  Plus the Crowdstrike software upgrade caused computer systems worldwide to malfunction.  If my computer does that, I have an older backup computer.  Why didn't they have a backup computer system?

The above facts are probably the only truthful things in the news, other than perhaps local accidents and things of that nature.  Unfortunately, the lies are coming fast and furious from the mainstream media.  If it involves health, politics, environment, immigration, etc., whatever the news says is happening, it's most likely the opposite.  What can you do?  Think critically, do your own research from neutral experts, observe, don't believe the news, and use common sense.  

What does Dr. Henry Plotkin (the Godfather of vaccines, as he is known, and author of the textbook on vaccines) say about their safety, under oath?  Watch The Highwire to learn the truth about vaccines from those who wrote the book on it.  Pretty much what I've been saying on this blog for the past 9 years.

Also, this doctor and I are in complete agreement.  Click to hear what he has to say.  Only 2 minutes, 40 seconds.
