–Played with lenses. Decided to send off the Summicron to Yye Camera for a CLA.
–The guy who sold me the Gillette bottom dial on eBay (Mahmoud) canceled the transaction and refunded my payment. Claims he’s having PayPal issues and that I will definitely get the razor. His account is a year old, and he has 30 transactions (all in the last 30 days, all as a buyer, many with identical feedback from the sellers). I do vaguely recall that there are sellers who do $.01 sales with the sole purpose of helping build a feedback record. So: (a) He wants to avoid eBay fees and do the deal privately, or (b) he’s already sold the razor to someone who offered more. Hard to predict right now—-except for sure I’m not getting that razor.
–Grace is getting snitty again, after a few days of sunny disposition. A combo of no sleep and self-hatred for doing online games all day rather than making a shopping list.
