Well spotted Johan - most people here would have naively put it down to technical incompetence.  8)  ;D

PS if you click on where it says 'image' it appears the right way round.

I remember in physics class, the teacher says the image landing on our retina is up side down. Now I finally see evidence of it!
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

I do, I do (as occasionally reported in the wine thread) but my collector instinct is strong.  ;)

Yes, I'm glad you spotted my insightful scientific method of posting my selfie.  8)

Great photo! It's always nice to get a face with your posts. You look kind of like Max Bruch (minus the spectacles):

As one of my retirement gifts, the English department made a special version of this "Breaking Bad" poster! (It's a little hard to read, but on the meth containers it states, "Macbeth Study Guides"--mine was notoriously punishing...)

Peace and Love: Ethan (our son) and me taking in the Ringo Starr show at the Paramount Theater last night in downtown Denver. Fabulous time and one of our music goals to see a Beatle perform. Ringo is 75(?), but still putting on a fabulous show mixed with Beatle, Ringo, Mister Mister, Santana, Todd Rudgren, and Toto hits due to the All Stars in his band that have been with him for four years. You can tell that they have really gelled as the concert did not seem choppy and rather just a band up there having a blast and playing great music.  (sorry for the repeat Karl and George)
