That is a truly marvelous typo, one of the best I've ever seen.

Nospam, how did you miss it? :^)

It was buried in a sentence with another typo.

Android will probably say that is the Swedish spelling, not typos. ;-)

unlike a lot of people here, i don't care about typos people make
unless there's a reason to comment about it. what matters is what
they're trying to say.

That is like saying Washington and Paris are used interchangeably.

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, and Helsinki is the capital of Finland.

Didn't you ever see "Die Hard?"

You are a tad late to this game.

....and what might have been some sort of gag in a movie appears to have
done nothing but compound the ignorance of some of the players.

We are into our fourth year of extreme drought, and it can get windy,
and dusty here. I usually take precautions when changing lenses, but
sometimes I am too far away from shelter or my car, and I don't have a
pillowcase "change bag" with me. Sometimes it to so windy I just forget
about a lens change and just go with whatever is on the camera. The time
I had to clean the sensor was after our big fire when we had very bad
air quality with lots of smoke and ash being blown about in the air.

Fortunately this isn't going to be an expedition to parts unknown, I am
quite familiar with the area as I am visiting old friends in the Cape
Town, Western Cape region, and will probably only be taking the odd
regional daytrip. ...and thanks, but I am already up to my ears in
mapping apps, online and offline, including maps.me.

Thanks for the update on your environment and weather conditions. I had
appreciated the fires, but not so much the dusty conditions which you
have. Again, down in Africa it can also be dusty - I perhaps only took
in the European part of your trip.

Same here with maps. It can be fun following a trip on the map, though,
whether that be iPad or, more likely these days, the phone. I also take
a GPS to record where I've been, and have fun afterwards reliving the
trip. I'm currently using a USB stick version:

Mobile Passport is great, as in quite a few US Port of Entry airports
you can by-pass the normal ICE check line with a smartphone CBP receipt
and a barcode. Fortunately SFO is one of those airports.

Thanks fr the Mobile Passport tip. Are the data in that app secure? I go
from JFK to LAX once or twice per year,and they are both terrible
airports. This app sounds as if it could really save some time at the
airpots.

you don't need a passport to go between jfk-lax. ....

Yet!

It's a miracle.


Religion would be if they asked my permission. I was commenting on some
images in a PSA study group I eft the machine alone to have some think
time. I came back and found that the machine was 'updated," and I lost
about an hour of work. What a PITA.

First time I've heard someone thank someone for screwing them up then
fixing them. It's the computer version of the Helsinki Syndrome.

Stockholm?...

Unless you were kidnapped and held in a sauna.

Okay, that one went over my head. On top of that, now I see that
Helsinki and Stockholm are used interchangeably. I'm floundering.


Must have been a salt water sauna.
