   They have the funniest signs in Colombia. I never did figure out exactly what this one was supposed to warn us about.

   It's not warning of a "serpentine" road ahead because the road is straight. It's also not a particularly dangerous stretch of road, and its doubtfully a slippery one. Maybe a snake crossing zone?

   I remember as an early Emacs user at MIT -- ca 1977 -- trying to figure out what TECO was all about.

   It was utterly impenetrable to an outsider!

   An ironic saying then was, "TECO: a moment of convenience, a lifetime of regret."

   If you are on BlueSky as well and you are a developer, I want you to do a little experiment.

   Look around at how people talk about their projects with ATP and the _kinds_ of projects they are talking about.

   Then compare and contrast with how people talk about their projects with AP and the _kinds_ of projects they talk about.

   It's eye opening.

   I finally saw one of those drones last night here in New Jersey that everyone has been clamoring about.

   It was hovering very low and had flashing lights on both ends. It moves slowly, but smoothly getting close and closer to the ground. It got closer and closer and eventually as it zoomed past., could see the word united painted on the side. Must’ve been something top secret from the United States government. Eventually, it pulled up to gate B11 at the Newark airport and about 200 people got off.

   What are THEY hiding from us?

   To me, this is a “tank loaf” of #bread.

   When I arrived in Victoria nobody knew what I was talking about.

   It seems they are called a “pipe loaf” here, although some bakeries I have visited have no idea what I’m on about when describing the loaf.

   Don't be easily satisfied with accepting something to be a mystery no-one knows anything about.

   It's not only about "asking questions", but as much about finding answers. 😉

   And archaeologists really just love to talk about #RealArchaeology. 👍
