I’d written about a self-funded documentary on the American Motors Corporation a couple of years back, and how they were running a GoFundMe to finance the production. At that point I donated and I’ve been getting regular updates since then. The producers finished production a couple of months ago and recently announced that it was available on PBS, and would be streaming on YouTube on May 22.
Interesting…
In my continuing quest to get current on all of my vaccinations before Bobby Brainworms makes it illegal, I got my shingles vaccine this morning at about 11 o’clock. By 2 o’clock my left arm felt like somebody had hit it with a baseball bat. I can’t tell, but I think I might have a low-grade fever. We’re going to see how this affects me tomorrow and that will tell whether or not I’m going to work. I’ve still got several more to go plus a booster for this and for hepatitis B upcoming. I’m trying to stretch them out every two weeks so that I give my immune system time to bounce back before I dose with something else.
NEW TURNSTILE
Redwood watches just released a new GMT model that looks beautiful. The price isn’t eye-wateringly high and I like the subtle details in the dial face—the numbers around the crown are perfectly imprecise, the ribs on the edges are just the right height, and the orange GMT hand is sharp. Plus, it’s got a date window. At 40mm it’s at the very top edge of sizing for my wrist, but it’s really pretty. The only thing I’d like to know is how thick it is; my solar Vaer diver is the tallest watch I own at 10mm and it verges on being annoying when it catches on my sleeves.
If the world was a normal place right now, I’d consider buying one of these.
