Not how you want the box with your new laptop in it to look!

Looks like Ace Ventura had a hand in this delivery!

The computer arrived safely no thanks to the “excellent” handling by FedEx and the suspect packing by B&H.

My town Fernandina Beach – an odd mix of pics

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Florida – located between the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Amelia River to the west, that’s why we’re an island.

Florida brown pelican with the Amelia River in the background. Sorry, no fish for you today!
Industrial ugly! One of two paper and pulp mills on the north end of the island near the downtown historic district.
Rusty and crusty old sign along the river.
Ornate doors greet customers in this Center Street business.
More industrial ugly. Looking south towards mill number two and its giant wood chip mountain.
If you’ve got tracks then you’ve got trains.
Center Street landmark since the late 1800s.
The Palace – Florida’s oldest continually operating saloon.
Gracious old oaks frame a business on Center Street (aka Centre Street).
It’s all in the details both large and small.
Details.
And more details.

Camera – Fujifilm FinePix S9900W

Inside a 1960s transistor radio from Japan

With the back cover removed full 1960s hi-tech is on display. The western looking “Y” was Yashica’s logo during this period. I believe it’s stamped on the back of the speaker.

Yashica Model YT-300 Transistor Radio

Yashica even put their name on the battery connector cap.
Inside the back cover. In addition to making great cameras, Yashica also made some electronic devices such as movie projectors and editors, radios, tape recorders, and even a record player!
The radio with it’s original goodies still intact. It’s a gorgeous piece of electronics that does not power up. I would love to get it fixed if it is even fixable.

A day to remember the fallen and a day to wish for a more peaceful future.

From April 2016 while on a photo walk in my town.

Same town, same day. I think it’s a hawk.
One of our grand old buildings along Center Street.
My favorite flag pic.
