Beautiful photo. I commented at The Daily Time Waster on how I thought the photo was made - twin lens, medium format camera with Verichrome Pan film. However, shortly after my comment, I was told it was AI. Since I know nothing about AI, might very well be. The first hint should have been the bus window is clean. The real issue for me, though, is I don't want to have to put everything under the microscope to determine if it's real or not. I want to believe the photo was taken by a talented photographer, maybe with some expert darkroom manipulation, but the result of skill that requires devotion to the craft and an artistic eye to capture the image as envisioned. Computers can do wonderful things, but artificial is still artificial. It's going to take me a while to get comfortable with AI, or maybe just ignore it - ignorance is bliss after all. A beautiful photo just the same.
I put the taillight on the Go-Go - easy enough done. However, the head light needs a bracket made so I can mount it off the basket on the front - a piece of tubing with a couple of tabs should do the trick.
I took the "touring" bike down off the hooks last evening and swapped out the tire patching and first aid kits from the "commuting" bike I've been riding since I want to start increasing my mileage on my daily rides. Surprisingly enough, the tires still were holding air - not enough but it didn't take much effort with the hand pump to top them off. The battery is dead on the speedometer, so that needs to be addressed, but other than that, I'm all set to start training for the 40-mile ride coming in about a month. It'd be nice if the heat and humidity would ease up a bit, though. It was 90 degrees again yesterday. That's hard on an old man.
