Zoom Retry
Decided to try and see if my old telephoto lens, while still messed up from being dropped into a pool, would still be able to take decent photos. I had to work with the final shots in Photoshop a bit, but overall I wasn’t too displeased.

So Close
Watched the first live streaming episode of one the tech podcasts I follow regularly. For a while I wasn’t listening to anything they were saying.

Zoolandering Again
Went to the San Diego Zoo today for my seventh visit of the year so far. This time with Sylvia, Mary and her daughter Diana. We made sure to stop by the hippo calf so Sylvia could finally see it in person. We ate lunch at the Flamingo Café before heading out in the early afternoon.

Rescuing A Hiker
Watched a Fire and Rescue helicopter land down in Rose Canyon beneath our house by the railroad tracks. Then six emergency vehicles arrived on scene. The local CBS News had their own helicopter circling around taking video. Later I found out that it was all for a hiker slipped into the river basin and broke at least one of his ankles. He got taken away in an ambulance once they realized his injuries weren’t life threatening. That’s a lot of city resources for on broken ankle.
