Papparazi

This lady and her companion were driving slowly down the block filming the big houses outside of the Huntington Botanical Gardens. Papparazi? Videographer? Tourist? We'll probably never really know.

Meanwhile, I was greeted by the black screen of death when I booted. I was thinking I was a gonner...well, my pictures anyhow. They were theoretically backed up. I suspect, ironically, that it is the backup drive that is causing the problems (big seagate drive). In any case, it did finally boot but then the backup drive wasn't showing some files. I cycled power on the backup drive and, guess what, it all seemed to work again. Go figure. Wish me luck!
