One City Block on Lockdown - Covid 19 in Saigon Vietnam
The neighborhood is running at about 15% of normal. I really wish this Covid crap would blow out to sea. Also was testing my Sony HX90v - haven't used it in ages. It is a very compact super zoom. I wanted to see how it would do for street photos. I will give it a better test later, but I think the test produced promising results.

Every time I'm at the mall or out with my wife Rea, I wonder why Smartphones don't have this very important feature. I want to use the back cameras on the Smartphone, but there's no way to frame the shot. The front camera sucks and lacks the features the back cameras have. So why after all of these years, won't they add a simple little viewfinder screen to the camera back. You tell me, I have no clue.

Finally found a way to use this little gadget. You can use your phone as a remote via bluetooth or WiFi and use a power bank as a charger for longer run time -- I had tried several ideas and none had worked really well. Check out this video to see one of my earlier attempts -- https://youtu.be/tTpk1J5h3X8?si=K07gDnj1BppLGz2P

It doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian these apps that we imagined in 2019, would be helpful for knowing what's going on in the 2024 election cycle.
Wish someone would get on the ball and develop these apps for us. By the way Tweet Defeat could easily be renamed "X" it Out
These APPS would greatly help you evaluate the new we see on social media.

Promise this is not becoming a cat channel. Just want to introduce BooBoo. She was a feral street kitten, and a dedicated trash can diver. We took her in a few weeks ago. She quickly acclimated to her new life and friends, Oreo and Jellybone. She's a nice girl, and we are happy to have her as part of the family.

Rea, her friend, Sally and the sisters shot this video. I wasn't about to go with them. After my last trip to Mapanuepe, I had a headache for 3 or 4 days. The road is just awful -- can't think of the words to describe it.

There are just a lot of interesting rivers in our area. Zambales Philippines. We aren't far from some other interesting sites too, like the Subic Bay and a myriad of small towns that all offer interesting shopping, snacking and touring opportunities. The biggest city here is Olongapo - it has the SBMA area, the old USA Navy Base, many new and modern malls. great local wet markets and all kinds of shopping and eating experiences.

Excuse my bad Vietnamese pronunciation. I can usually be understood by the locals ... but sometimes it take repeating a few times to get the process started.
Technical problem: Broke a lavalier microphone wire. I was shooting alone, and wasn't monitoring the audio. The audio was easier missing or full of loud pops and clicks. It's all back in service now, so hopefully future videos will have good audio.

Every time Rea goes past Subic she comes home with something from Mr. D.I.Y..
It's her favorite place to hangout in the area -- a big variety of stuff in that store for sure

Just took a few quick shots on my daily walk. I never had really thought about these huge houses much, but they do seem pretty amazing for a place like Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) Vietnam. Many of these houses are easily $1mil+ residences.
Vietnam is still a relatively poor country, but things are changing fast. The future looks very bright for this wonderful SE Asia country.
