POSTING THIS FOR HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPHIC VALUE, NOT FOR SPECIFIC CONTENT. THIS IS THE EARLIEST PHOTO I HAVE OF A YAMA-KAGO, OR KAGO, the mode of conveyance in Japan at that time. The Jinrikisha had yet to be invented ~ ! Great, semi-candid street scene on the streets of Shimoda, one of almost 40 images in a rare series of old Japan views taken ca.1862-64 -- about 145 years ago. It is believed that the famous Japanese photographer RENJO SHIMOOKA (1823-1914) is behind this large series of Shimoda street and landscape photographs. Shimoda was his home town, he was the only Japanese guy with a camera who had an interest in Shimoda, and Shimoda was off limits to foreigners. And there is another reason (among even more reasons not to be covered here) that it "has to be" Shimooka.... "..........After Yokohama was opened to foreigners in 1859, Shimooka went there and stayed with an American merchant, Raphael Schoyer. An American photographer named Captain John Wilson who was also staying with Schoyer taught photography to Shimooka who later opened a makeshift photo studio (with equipment acquired from Wilson) in Yokohama in 1862.........." -- Phil Ono at PhotoGuide Japan photojpn.org/news/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews... It is not mentioned at the link, but Wilson's passion was STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY, and while in Japan, he took a large series of 3-D views. Shimooka, his ever faithful student, GOT HIS EQUIPMENT --- and must have gotten the 3-D bug as well, because the above photo is actually from.....a stereoview ! As mentioned, Shimoda was Shimooka's hometown, and the place where in 1857 he first learned the fuzzy idea of photography from Townsend Harris' DUTCH secretary and interpreter Henry Heusken (1832-1861). They held their clandestine "photography lessons" back in the woods to escape detection by Government spies -- before Huesken was assassinated by right-wing Samurai whose IQ was even lower than their ages. Unfortunately they held their photography lessons without a camera (!) --- instead, Heusken used some twigs for a tripod, a little box, and a piece of broken glass for a lens while trying to communicate the theory of capturing sunbeams. 3-D Photographer Wilson set him straight, and the rest is photographic history.

Poppy had her flaws, certainly - she and her husband were having trouble staying faithful to each other - but she didn't deserve to be so brutally murdered."

Along with her sister-in-law Poppy, Roe has finally earned a coveted spot in the Uppity Women, an exclusive group that does more than flower arranging. But Poppy is a no-show on their induction day. Roe stops by Poppy's house to find out why and is shocked to discover Poppy dead on the kitchen floor, and it's not by accident. There's no lack of suspects, since both Poppy and her husband were unfaithful. Even the detective in charge of the case, Roe's former lover Arthur Smith, has a past with Poppy. As if that weren't enough, Roe has rekindled a relationship with another old flame and things are moving fast, with plans to meet his mother at Thanksgiving. She's also acquired an unexpected house guest: her half-brother, who's run away from his parents' home in California.

Recognizing the need for security, Odge ventured into Hweg Shul to the local droid merchant. Though there were many astro-mechs to choose from, an extra set of eyes is what Odge needed, so a protocol droid was what appealed to Odge. With only a few to choose from, Odge conversed with a TC unit who seemed rather alert and much less uppity than a 3PO-series droid. TC-33 agreed to come to the A-wing build and assist.
