Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

Check your typos again Spacey. That would be a bit hard to knit. -
Here's his latest mind blip: "Speaking in Wisconsin on Saturday, Trump claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris has an app that allows a “virtually unlimited” number of migrants to enter the country. “They have a phone app so that people can come into our country,” Trump said over the weekend. “These are smart immigrants, I guess because most people don’t have any idea what the hell a phone app is. But they do, these are very intelligent immigrants.” You can't tie your shoelaces these days without a phone app. And his claim of 100,000 illegal immigrants including 13,000 murderers are based on stats for 40 yaers, including the 4 he was president. He clearly has no grasp on reality.

I saw an advert on Farcebook claiming the government is giving solar batteries to over 65's free of charge.

He has already said there will be no arrangement with the Greens whereby they could form a coallition.

Further to my last post here, there are also stories that your security equipment, such as CCTV and Ring doorbell cameras, which transit images to your smartphone, are being covertly monitored and data sold on the dark web. You are not even safe sitting on the loo.

I know what everyone on this forum thinks of Barnaby Joyce, but he was only echoing what had been said in America about the possible spy gear being nuilt into Chinese vehicles, particularly EV's. There has been talk for some time they are tracking you and monitoring what is said in the cars. This is similar to rumours about Siri and Alexa smart devices, and even stories that your Rumba robotic vacuum cleaner is filming and recording your house. It may sound pie in the sky, but when one sees what Israel did with the pagers and walkie talkies, maybe it's not so far fetched. Big Brother is with us. What I can't get my head around is how the Israeli's got those devices into the hands of all those Hamas operatives.

My brother and I shared a bungalow in the back yard, and we would lay there at night and listen the the planes coming in, the scream of Friendships and Viscounts, the roar of 727's and DC9's, the rumble of the DC4 and Bristol freighters on the overnight Tassie runs. No curfews in those days. And when pilots were shooting practice instrument approaches, we were under the point where they would hit the throttles and climb out for the next approach. They were low enough to read the rego under the wings.

The milk bar was on Gaffney St, near the border with Coburg (see map below). The camera was a very basic Neoka, no light meter, no through-the-lens viewfinder, no rangefinder, but it took good photos.

I got my first camera in 1962, not long after I started my first job out of school, working with the bank. My family lived in Warragul, but my appointment was in Caulfield, and after a few months, I was transferred into head office. My dad was working as a truck driver making deliveries around the metropolitan area, and we were living 5 days a week in a house next door to the factory he worked for. One day, Dad introduced me to a chap he knew in Melbourne, and he gave me a small Japanese 35mm camera. So began my experience with photography. I started with monochrome film, shooting stuff around town. After about a year of being seperated from the rest of the family, Dad got the opportunity to buy a milk bar and greengrocery shop in Pascoe Vale with residence attached. The family relocated to Melbourne. We were right under the approach to runway 27 at Essendon, and had planes coming over day and night. As a person deeply interested in aviation, I was close enough to ride my pushbike to Essendon and take photos. I changed to colour film, taking colour prints and slides. Recently I found a group on Facebook called Family and Friends of TAA. I applied and was accepted as a member of the group. I have submitted some photos taken in the late 60's and early 70's, and which I had scanned onto the computer. I have had a very pleasing acceptance of these photos with 'likes' into the 50s for each photo, and more coming through all the time. So far I have submitted 2 Electra photos, 1 DC9 and 12 Bell Helicab. I have a couple more to upload.

Correct again. Now I have to search for more puzzles.
