Automotif DCXXXIV...
Tasty 1965 Pontiac GTO. Standard engine was the 389 with a single 4bbl carb, with a Tri-Power 389 optional.
Photographed with a Nikon Zfc and a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens.

It's about frickin' time.
I’m rarely in a Walmart and every time I am, I’m surprised anew by their archaic checkout. I mean, I literally used Apple Pay to buy an obsidian knife from the flint knapper in Pioneer Village at the Indiana State Fair the other day.
“What do you mean I gotta actually take my card out of my wallet and stick it in the machine with my hands like it’s 2015 up in here? I used my wristwatch to pay a guy in bib overalls for a stone knife last Wednesday, for heaven's sake!”

Well, Wally World is finally saying they're going to bring touchless payments, including Apple Pay, to their stores by the end of this year. Better late than never, I reckon.

Big Horse!
New Percheron at the Indiana State Fair Pioneer Village this year.

Gratuitous Gun Pr0n #265...
If ever there were a pistol with my name all over it, it'd be the Langdon Tactical Beretta 80X Cheetah. It's got a sweet DA/SA trigger, that cool bronze-colored coating on the frame, and it holds 12+1 of .32ACP, my favorite little semiauto chambering.
You can even get holsters from PHLster, a Skeleton like the one in the photo or a fully set-up Enigma Express.
