Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Tuesday, 2025.12.09 
After taking the trip of a lifetime, our reader sent his twelve rolls of film to
Kodak for developing (or "processing," as Kodak likes to call it) only to
receive the following notice: "We must report that during the handling of your
twelve 35mm Kodachrome slide orders, the films were involved in an unusual
laboratory experience." The use of the passive is a particularly nice touch,
don't you think? Nobody did anything to the films; they just had a bad
experience. Of course our reader can always go back to Tibet and take his
pictures all over again, using the twelve replacement rolls Kodak so generously
sent him.

Dinner on the Hearth

Yes, that’s my fine dinnerware you see there (Thanksgiving leftovers, yum!) The beer, an excellent home brew we called “Ode to Oscar Stout” in honor of Little Big Man himself, has been featured on this blog before.
