Every Blade of Grass

 


We had a nice phone conversation this afternoon. He is doing well, stabilized, and may be home in a day or two.

Being Mr Tech Wizard, he is frustrated with just having his cell phone to work with instead of enough computers at home to launch a moon mission.

He said to say, “Hi”, to all and that he will soon be back in battery.

    When I lived in Seattle I knew a retired Boeing engineer who started with the B-47 and ended with the 777. Slide rule to CadCam. I once watched him use a slide rule (the size of small paddle) solve a skylight design calculation while another engineer was still typing.
