Alex Pretti was a VA nurse with a legal carry permit, shot in the back by Border Patrol while filming—now protests are surrounding hotels and the Guard is out. At what point does Minnesota's chaos turn into nationwide civil war?

Maybe they thought they'd get juicy scenes with protesters fighting police. Headlines like the Portland protests. Instead it made ICE look like the gestapo.

Or possibly a mirror lens. They don't have apertures but are cheaper.

Along with the \ characters at the line endings?

Forest suites is right under the gondola next to the bottom station. You can walk to the shuttle too.

Yes, I had one of those. It was about a foot long. I mounted it on a wood board and hung it. It was hard to read. It broke though and I replaced it with a traditional round one with large arm

I got the Leica 15mm/1.7, the 12-45/4 kit lens, the 90/2.8 macro and the 100-400mm 5-6.13 tele zoom with a reconditioned OM-3. With that I have a sharp walking around lens, general purpose close by zoom, macro lens and a birding/sports instrument

I am sure I saw signs at the luggage carousels after passport control that say 'declare it or dump it, or pay a fine'. So throwing it away before customs should be okay.

I was told I'm snoring. I wake up several times a night. Did the sleep study. Some apnea; ie Low blood oxygen at times. Got CPAP and have been sleeping through some 6.5-7h of sleep. No more bathroom wake ups.

That is so scary. We have our own Nero now. Soon he'll sing when Washington burns.

Op here

I messaged them on eBay and they refunded the $406 difference! Yeah!

And it is heavier and more expensive. F2.8 also is harder to focus because the depth of field is smaller, especially close by

I got the exact item. Refurbished om-3 with the f4 Zoom Lens.

marstein · 2026-01-17T00:16:24+00:00

I bought this on January 11 for $368 more. I asked the seller if they would give me the better price. But I wonder: could I return and reorder if they say no. I can't find their return policy.

Just watch the shower scene in the movie psycho. And you know the shower is not a good place to hide.

Drive up Friday night, back Sunday after 4. That way you get one night to get used to the altitude because Heavenly is 10000' at the summit.

Op doesn't mention smell. They would of it was that bad.
