Looks like a 5620 Blit. I used a 630 most of the time I was at Bell Labs. Orange text instead of green. I had worked at Data Pacific on Mac “clones” on Atari STs before. We talked about bringing it up on the 630. Getting ROMs attached and no disk was an issue. terminals-wiki.org/wiki/images/...

A lot of the western part of Texas should be in a different time zone. Instead only the area near El Paso is. Same with part of Idaho. www.guideoftheworld.com/map/north-am...

She is an elf with white hair wearing a mostly white outfit with gold trim. Wearing black leggings and brown boots. And holding her staff in front of her.

Looking at you like you are a small bug about to be converted into bug goo.

My great aunt in 1913 when she was two. She died a couple of months later from a random childhood disease. Mom’s older sister died from the measles when she was 17 in 1941. Let’s not do this again.

And occasionally Osprey want sushi wraps. Though this isn’t nori. The bird was proud of its catch. Spent about 5 minutes flying in circles showing off to its siblings before landing to eat.

Osprey flying towards the camera. There is a fish in its claws and a piece of seaweed trailing behind.

They already accepted Osprey. Which don’t walk/stalk around on shore. A heron at least does that. And Osprey occasionally get pissed at Bald Eagles fishing in their territory. Osprey won, the eagle flew away. Though it kept its catch.

A Bald Eagle and an Osprey. The eagle is turning upwards with the Osprey in front of it. The Osprey had just dived on the eagle while chasing it away.

Watch a heron hunt and you will believe they descended from dinosaurs.

Great blue heron. Wings are folded but lifting up. Walking along the shore of the Columbia River. There is a large tree stump just in front of the heron.

If you see this, post a pic of mountains.

Longs Peak. Taken in Rocky Mountain National Park looking south towards the peak.

A snow covered mountain peak. The wind is blowing from the left to the right. There is an arc of snow being blown over the peak making a smooth arc below a blue sky.

I’m an engineer. Which is why I hired an interior decorator when I bought my house. Cabinets and floor are original to the house. I love the natural wood through the house. Counter tops and splash guard are new. Old pic. It’s much messier since I moved in.

If you see this post, quote post with a bridge.

This very happy Osprey spent five minutes or so flying in circles carrying the fish they had just caught. They finally landed on a pylon in the water and had their lunch. This is along the north bank of the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA. Looking SE toward the Portland Airport.

An Osprey in flight. The picture is from below showing the wings spread wide. The beak is open as the Osprey goes "kee, kee, kee". In the Osprey's claws is a small fish. There also is small plant stem trailing behind the claws, it was picked up when the fish was grabbed from the water.

I read it when it came out. So the advanced tech felt normal and still does (I read it again a few years ago). I also loved this book. Of course I used to program in Forth.

I love the clouds in your photos. Beautiful. A picture I took in Rocky Mountain National Park, June 2010. At somewhere around 11,000 feet. The storm blew through quickly. And fortunately no lightning, which is scary at high elevations.

Dark storm clouds above a mountain peak. Spots of snow which still hadn’t melted from winter. The high tundra is green. Lower down there are evergreen trees.

This is the north side parking lot at Intel's Jones Farm campus in Oregon. I worked there for 16 years. Solar panels were installed over a small part of the parking lot in late 2008 and have been in operation since then. They talked about expanding it but so far haven't.
