not by km but lz
So I have been listening to Stairway to Heaven quite a bit. It is something to measure distances by. The art studio where I paint is one stairway to heaven and half a kashmir from my apartment.
Also if we want to talk about comparisons, there was a time when I would measure costs of things by bowls of ramen. As in, a CD is about 2 bowls of ramen, or something like that. Now it is rolls of film or packs of paper. Something costs 12000 yen? Thats 40 rolls of film. The next level is in Leicas- as in the plane ticket home that I bought today cost one good M6, significantly more than the beater no-meter M5 that I could have gotten a ticket for just a few days earlier, had payday fallen within the window for a cheap ticket.
Unrelated, I bought a bunch of post-card sized photo paper to print thank-you photographs to send to those who came to my nikon salon photo show, but never got around to printing them. However I think that I will find a good photo and then print a stack of them for my new year’s cards that I know I need to send out. Want one? Then please email me your address.
I would like one. I will email you my address.

You aren’t alone with respect to the ‘measuring’ cost habit. I used to measure the price of things in terms of how many packets of seaweed I could get (I was 8.) Now its in terms of rolls of film, lenses, film scanners, etc.
