But first, the shout out, to the Olympus D-490 zoom
and to Robert Smythe, who gave it to me. It has taken most of the photos posted so far on this blog, and has served me admirably. Many thanks Robert, and well-done D-490.Okay. photos:
We are the Best Expert!

And this optical effect:

One of the groundskeepers outside my bungalow:
I think he is mute - we communicated entirely by hand signs (if I hadn't seen him sign to others on the staff, I would have assumed he had figured out that hand signals were easier than trying to speak Vietnamese to me).

It all looks lovely; whether that's the camera, the eye or the Hand of God. In Seattle life is all storms and sun and ungodly Mariners-defeats (16-0! Holy Shit!), and I'm learning Greek Grammar and interrogating Gratitude. Gr. Gracias por the postcard; my gratitude is all yours.
For those who care about such things, it takes about two weeks (mebbe a little less?) for a postcard to get from Ho Chi Minh City to the US. Better than I would have thought.
PS -- sorry about the Mariners. I saw in the local gov't news agency rag today that the Orioles beat the Yankees (!). although where, and when, that happened I couldna say; there may be a time warp involved.
