Humanities and Social Sciences
Good sunset at beginning of tape; Lobo, Jim’s dog, urinates on tire; sunset has dreamlike quality from blue tint across frame. Sheila on C.B. with radio announcements; her program from inside the trailer. (Visually, this tape is of poor quality, but audio is fine. This is the same type of program that was recorded on the audio cassette tapes. However, the audio quality is much better here on the ¾” format.)
