Poem, surprising, mid-laundry
May. 1st, 2020 01:12 pmLaundry getting done.
Half-set of drapes now missing,
yet not halfway done.
Half-set of drapes now missing,
yet not halfway done.
And for a bit of whiplash...

I got this link from Mike and Denise Okuda over at Facebook.
Worth the money spent to get those cameras up there and the images back down here again. No doubt.

Hub City and Its Real-World Neighbours
Dec. 7th, 2010 04:24 pmA long time ago in the pages of The Question, as written by Dennis O'Neil and illustrated by Denys Cowan and others, it was said that Hub City, the titular character's home town, was modelled somewhat loosely upon East St. Louis, Illinois.
After seeing this item on the neighbouring town of Cairo, I wonder if that town was the only inspiration that Mr. O'Neil had in mind.
Or was Cairo in better shape back in the late 1980's?
Might it still be so, and this page isn't telling the whole story?

Not particularly fussy about what sort of books in what languages, so long as they're profusely illustrated, and in ways that make the text's commentaries understandable to a layperson. I enjoyed drafting classes in high school as best I could and wanted to follow up, but this was waaaaaaaaaay back in the days before AutoCAD and its competition started showing up.
Come to think of it, if you've got a recommendation to make for low-budget, high-power CAD software for the Mac(yes, open-source/freeware is eligible for recommendation), share with me.
