    May I steal a identified copy of Mr. Simon for my animal pics collection?

    Simon said, "Sure, I would autograph if I didn't have stumpy paws"

    Warm thanks to Simon. I really will miss his autograph. On the subject on paws and writing I recommend the rather extensive Memories of Cat Murr, a German self educated Cat Gentleman, who suggests that the problem of cat writing is due to the position of the tumb.

    That´s good too!

    Here you are:
    "Now that I could read fluently, and was daily cramming myself with
    more and more new notions, I felt the most irresistible urge to wrest my
    own ideas from oblivion, born of my native genius as they were! Yet to
    do so called for the art of writing, which is admittedly very difficult.
    However carefully I might watch my master’s hand as he wrote, I just
    could not manage to pick up the actual mechanics of the thing from him.
    I studied old Hilmar Curas,24 the one manual of calligraphy that my
    master possessed, and almost reached the conclusion that the mysterious
    difficulty of writing could be removed only by wearing the large cuff
    seen on the diagram of the writing hand depicted in that book, and that
    it was due only to the special facility my master had acquired that he
    wrote without a cuff, just as an expert tightrope walker can eventually
    do without his balancing pole. I kept a keen eye open for cuffs, and was
    on the point of tearing up the old housekeeper’s nightcap and adapting it
    for my right paw when, in a flash of inspiration such as persons of
    genius are wont to have, the brilliant idea which solved everything
    occurred to me. For I surmised that the impossibility of my holding a
    pen or pencil as my master did might lie in the different structure of our
    hands, and in that surmise I was correct! I had to devise another way of
    writing, suited to the build of my little right paw, and as you might
    expect, devise it I did. Thus do whole new systems arise from the
    particular organic structure of the individual!"

    thanks! , yes. Watergate Hotel is quite famous (in America) for the location of the burglary involving President Richard Nixon (resigned as President). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal

    Interesting shades of blue in both last pictures. And liked the lonely man sitting with the back to the photographer...

    Thanks. Long exposures on both creates that kind of blue mood
