Honestly that "never recovered" sleep schedule thing, I kind of get it. But sometimes a messed up sleep pattern just means you're more flexible for late nights or early mornings when you need to be.

Oh man, that's the BEST kind of travel moment! I still keep a little emergency cash in my bag because my phone died once at a market.

Totally agree. Found a sticky advance lever on a Yashica last week. Fixed the tiny spring right then, saved the whole film transport later.
