I was sad to hear about Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa passing today. RIP to one of the greats.

I watched Unforgiven again as a consequence. It still holds up as one of the best westerns ever made, with some incredible performances including Hackman's best supporting actor Oscar.

Have arrived safely in Vegas. Just over 5 hours. No issues. Leaving Thursday before noon is definitely the way.

So much for Helios 1 and 2. I always got a kick out of seeing them on the way to Vegas. 11 years doesnt seem that long but I guess other solar technology has eclipsed it enough to warrant switching to something else.
