According to Wikipedia re: MO: "Oldfield's latest album, Return to Ommadawn was released on 20 January 2017 and reached #4 in the UK Album Chart.[39] On the 29 January 2017 Oldfield again hinted at a Tubular Bells 4 album via his official Facebook fan page; he uploaded photos of new equipment and a new Fender Telecaster guitar with the caption "New sounds for TB4!"[40] The Daily Mail also reported that Oldfield is working on a fourth Tubular Bells album.[41]"

Deacon, I'm not sure what's going on. Apparently he became a very private person. Seems he was rather shattered by Freddie's death. Again, according to Wikipedia: "In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone Magazine regarding the upcoming Queen + Adam Lambert North American tour with Adam Lambert, May and Taylor admitted that they no longer have much contact with Deacon except regarding finances, with Taylor stating that "[Deacon]'s completely retired from any kind of social contact", and describing him as "a little fragile." May added, however, "He still keeps an eye on the finances, though. John Deacon is still John Deacon. We don't undertake anything financial without talking to him."[36] Session bassist Neil Fairclough covered the tour.[37]" I thought I heard something about him opening an antiques store, but I think I'm probably conflating him with the guy who played Rockie in RHPS.

Regarding traveling somewhere with The Doctor, off-hand, I think I'd want to take my 6D and iMac back to when Ansel Adams was about 50. I also wouldn't mind popping 100 years or so in to the future to see if they find a cure for my immune disorder. Or a cure for Republicans. :-)

I was last at the hummingbird cage almost exactly one year ago - 2 May 17, and still haven't posted the pix! Looks like using Auto ISO the ISO ranged from appro 320 up to 4000 or so, depending if the birds were deep in the trees in a nest or not. It was a fairly tall cage and didn't have direct sunlight, I was there at about 3pm, I'm not sure if that's AZ or NM time. It was still plenty warm, but the sun would have been plenty westerly. I'll have to get some of those photos posted, they came out quite well.

So what camera did you order? I have a line on a job at the National Solar Observatory, and if it comes through and endures, in November I might acquire a Lumix DSLR: shooting with changeable Zeiss optics and 5-axis image stabilization!
