Another post for #ds106, Raymond Chandler's The Long Good-bye. Photo of Long Beach, California, by me, graphic from here, and lyrics from Keating Ronan's 'The Long Goodbye' from here.
I like the Chandler smog filled sky. I'm a big fan of Long Beach, California, lived there for two years, and actually worked at Parker's Lighthouse as a busboy, which is right around corner from the Queen Mary. Some of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen in my life where a result of all the terrible smog in the air. I love the dissonanace of beauty and what's bad for you---very noir in its own right.
September 17, 2024. My teeth, up close. Started today productively, meeting and work, but then was at the dentist to get a post for a dental implant. Took a couple tries (ack) but I survived. https://flic.kr/p/2qh5Yuz
September 14, 2024. Long bike ride today; this was right near the end, in evening. Visited both Dunvegan and Maxville. So warm! https://flic.kr/p/2qgCjQo
