[Leica] August 29th Apocalyptic Dysphoria; Pictures on your watch.

[Jim Nichols]

I have no interest at all in the watch.  It may be handy for reminders, etc.

Images that size remind me of the stickpin portrait that my great-great 
aunt had of her dead husband.  It was sepia, and about the size of a 
"pinky" nail.
