           It’s cooler. Must be a hurricane on the way. I took a safari through the air-conditioned acres of Aventura Mall. Here is a bicycle in the orange Ferrari Store. I didn’t check the price, the more because it is senseless to leave an expensive bicycle anywhere in this town. The mall is known for fashions, which represent probably 80% of the outlets. Recession or no, America is still a wealthy country and we have teenagers buying fashion accessories I can hardly dream of. But that could be because I’m not much into platform shoes, or as shown in today’s photo, polarizing filters.
           I’m within an ace of taking a taxi to get the last of my things from the old shop, such as my bingo speakers. These speakers are a set of Mach 1s (Radio Shack) that will free up my Yamahas for better things. Like my new show when Sam Ash replaces my Zoom unit. Ash says it is out of production, a pity, since there is a lot to be said for simplicity. The popular replacement is the overpriced Alesis, which I do not like at all.

           Author's note 2015-06-29: in the end, I did not use the Zoom unit for anything much. It has the same faulty design as everything on the market. No tempo memory, bad pre-programmed tracks, few useful contemporary beats, difficult to program, cryptic readouts. If this drum machine was an airplane, it would be a Sopwith Camel.

           Last day I lamented how few pictures taken on D-Day. My fan mail seems to agree. If it was indeed the biggest amphibious operation in history, they should have had people up there carving it in stone. I’m not suggesting a permanent government coverup, not me, oh no. But will anyone explain how the President was riding through Dallas in 1963 and there was only one camera in the entire world covering the event? And even that was a civilian with a funny name (Zapruder?) and no artistic talent whatsoever. Who’s spoofin’ who, I mean, who holds an invasion of Europe and only brings along two cameras?
