dys and jjorge coversat'n.
Oh, C.I., the bridge photo is a work of art. I love its composition.
I envy, Jjorge. It must be wonderful to converse with Dys.

Hi JLN,
I loved it ALL...the flamenco DANCERS, the GUITARS, and the SINGING.
The latter has a sort of Arabic 'wailing' (for lack of a better term).

Well, sometimes it is, but in THAT conversation he was trying to borrow fifty bucks!
not
jjorge, Fifty bucks from you and fifty from me. What's going on?

c.i.
Unlike us, dys went home with a full wallet I wager.
I always knew he was a smart cowboy.
This is what the San Francisco skyline looks like from my brother-in-laws place.
So, listen, CI, I went through Diamond Point or what? the neigborhood of interest, on my way back to the airport and took some pics. I realized I had been there before, as I wandered about in my dying Volvo in around 2000. Will post these in my next fullbodied posting effort . I have a good one of you, btw, at the ggbridge site. You are the only one who didn't look wracked by the sky... plus a pair to yours of the bridge.
I have at least ten more photos, am just a slowpoke.

jjorge,you gotta watch that panhandling Dys all the time these days cause he's getting ready to move---and that costs a lot, ya know. After all, he's got to keep Diane in the manner to which she aspires. Which means anywhere Dys plops, even in a hovel.

Jjorge, yes Flamenco singing (cante hondo) is a product of southern Spain's Arabic past.
Thanks for the warning about Dys. I definitely intend to meet him some day. I'll watch myself.
JLN, Don't ever say we didn't warn ya.
I feel impugned as I returned to my hotel room with nothing but a few IOU notes and zero cash.
Dys
"Impugned" Quickly presses the report button to notify moderators that Dys violated the TOS with a dirty word.
BTW Dys, what on you doing on line so early on the morning after Diane's arrival back home? Or are you fixing her a welcome home breakfast?

We can't let this thread die.
Good point, C.I.. For starts, I'd like to ask Dys how he's doing. What has been the progress of recovery since that bad night, Dys?
This reminds me too that I want to post about going to SF later in July, yikes, it's coming up (I need to reserve a room..), to go to the photo show at Fort Mason. I'm all excited about it, have wanted to see that for years. Am set up for four lectures and a seminar on photography collection (not that I can collect, heh, but I am interested in what they say). Something like seventy photo galleries exhibit in the show.
