Today I had to go get my first Covid test for work because I am supposed to go in to the office tomorrow.  The testing was done over on Grand Central in Glendale which is right near DreamWorks.  I had not been over to this neighborhood for quite a few years and was so please to see all the new buildings.  Most of all I was excited to see the Grand Central Air Terminal restoration was done.  I knew that this was taking place, but the last time I was here it was still very much no where near complete.  The space was all fenced in and ugly.  Now the building looks great and Disney has made a nice park around the building.  Too bad you need a Disney badge to get into the park, but I was able to take this photo from the sidewalk along Grand Central.  Seeing this made me very happy today.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3557 - Sunrise - 02.15.21

This morning's sunrise was incredibly vibrant.  The pinks were too much for my camera's chip as you can see in this picture.  I even switched over to RAW in hopes of being able to capture it better, but alas it was still a little too intense.  Reds have always been an issue.  This is something I saw today.

A couple years ago I got a couple boxes of records from a lady at church.  One was this Miller High Life box and it was full of 45s.  This pas week I got an actual proper case for 7-inch records and so this past weekend I reorganized my 7-inch records and emptied some boxes.  This Miller High Life box was one of those boxes.  I thought I'd photograph it before it went into the recycling bin. I mostly wanted to capture the great slogan "The Champagne of Bottle Beer."  This is something I saw today.

Day 3532 - "Corner Gas" DVDs - 01.21.21

"Corner Gas" is one of my favorite shows of all time.  I've been a fan since it first started airing.  As it aired I downloaded episodes off the internet and I watched those episodes many times over through the years while the show wasn't really available in the US.  Then this past year I rewatched the show again on Amazon Prime where is was available.  However during all this time I never actually owned the show, so this past week I finally bought the DVDs.  I started rewatching the series again which makes me happy, but this time some episodes have commentary, which I love.  I guess the next thing I'll want are DVDs of the animated series, which I love just as much as the original show.  This is something I saw today.
