Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
Wonderful, Counselor!
Lord of life, Lord of all;
He’s the Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Holy One!

Slow and powerful!
Debussy “Clair de Lune” for a gentle female elephant called Ampan. Ampan is 80 years old and lives with us as Elephants World in Thailand. She is blind in one eye and can barely see with the other. 80 years old is very old indeed for an elephant, it’s about 10 years past the natural life span of an elephant in the wild.
Interesting collaboration!
Currently, I’m blending 75% Colombian (medium roast) with 25% French roast (dark), which Costco has locally roasted at Steam Dot in Anchorage. I ran out of a wonderful African roast that I also added. Costco got rid of their roaster, and thus all of their specialty coffees. Steam Dot bought their giant roaster, but continues only three of their blends. Colombian is very good. None are organic.
I store them in the freezer, most often vacuum packing them first in jars.
Instead of cream, I add generous amounts of coconut cream that I get from a local Asian market.
Ground nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice from Frontier Coop (available locally at Natural Pantry) tops it off.
We live 2.5 miles from what I’ve been told is their 2nd most profitable Costco store. They bought Toys-R-Us next door, and are planning on joining the two buildings with an enclosed walkway, which would make it the largest Costco in the world, I am told. One manager still has to approve the project. They’re already using Toys-R-Us in other ways.
Some interesting ideas in this short video:
Yesterday and today, I’ve been humming one of Rico’s songs that I’ve posted. This melody isn’t as amazing, but the way he attacks the keyboard, propelling this song!
I can’t find any info on Rico. Sometimes he writes in Dutch.
A collaboration — nice!
Interesting facts and video clips shown.
12:55 Jet blast surfing at St. Martin!

Nevada Art Printers is the home of Lumichrome prints, which far exceed metal prints in color gamut, and still have the pop — and more longevity!
Metal prints are overrated. Most non-Lumichrome high-end inkjet prints also far exceed metal prints’ color gamut. A large number of metal prints are printed with only a 3 color and 1 black inkset. Whereas, high-end inkjet prints can have as many as 12!
Amazing roller coaster graphics; though, not my favorite music. They call it “old time” where my parents were/are from in New Ulm, Minnesota, southwest of where I grew up in the twin cities. My uncle played the concertina in his polka band, which is this sound.
‘Volare’ really moves at 1:32!
Upright posture song!
The beginning and starting at 6:05 reminds me of what it’s like to be there!
It is a good idea, but cost-benefit isn’t there yet.
Robin Wong at 10:35, transcribed by myself:
“The content of photography itself has changed. Instead of the photographer taking a photograph of something else, they direct attention back to themselves. … Look at what all your friends are posting. It’s photographs of themselves, selfies, the vacation that they are taking, the food that they are eating, their pet cat….
Everything is about me, me, me, me, me. Photography has become a selfish, self-centric adventure. Photography is no longer about documentation, story telling, or about creating art. It’s all about shooting yourself, shooting your daily life, and trying to show the world how amazing your life is.
The use of a camera has become irrelevant. All you need is your smartphone.”
Kebu is Finnish, and uses only analog synths, described below. Amazing song!
Belugas are smart.
I’ve seen them a number of times here in Alaska. One time was very special, when a group surprised me by swimming very close to me as I was photographing on the shore of Turnagain Arm years ago.
Having seen and/or smelled the smoke of tires hitting the runway thousands of times while working at ANC, I often thought about a solution — not motorized wheels, as suggested in this video, but fins on the side of the wheels to get the wheels spinning.
This non-motorized solution is discussed in the comments. I post some of the most interesting comments beneath this video.
