When nations grow old, the arts grow cold and commerce settles on every
tree. -William Blake, poet, engraver, and painter (1757-1827)
Why do you call Corinne Lady Dar? Hi Winnipeg/Falcon/Tinsel Town/Rain City!Ever since we travelled in India, she has been Lady Darjeeling, Lady Dar for short. Guess you should have been on the distribution list sooner, Spumoni!
Oh Pat, you crack me up. Read your description of a work day, and, since I was having a slow day, it really rang true!! Otherwise, I am so hardworking that I hardly even notice my Gmail, Instagram, Facebook or Twitter while I am at work. Good that Chloe is taking a break from a bad boss. I take it that she really likes the organization just not the leadership.
Hi Viognier Woman! One of my favourite varietals, just as you are one of my favourite Spandex wearers! Thanks for link to Icon. Will send along to Chloë as every contact helps. Guess I won't hear from you until Monday morning when you are back at your desk! Cheers, Patrizzio! Pic: Wintering pepper plants before harvest!

Hi Colleen! Welcome home. Sorry to hear about funeral. Trust things went as well as might be expected. Glad you enjoyed card. Thanks for good wishes.
Tana French on invading lives and spaces in The Trespasser, and the importance of secrets: I really enjoy this series! http://news.nationalpost.com/arts/books/book-reviews/tana-french-on-invading-lives-and-spaces-in-the-trespasser-and-the-importance-of-secrets
Dear Margaret and All: I totally agree with Margaret that a print edition of Tom and company' monumental publication is in order. One would hate to think that this great work is lost in the digital edition only. Many of us would like to hold and enjoy a print edition to have and preserve. As much as I appreciate Tom's and company's enormous work on this, I would like to have a copy of it on my shelf to show off to friends and acquaintances. The history and contribution of the UBC Library to the success of our institution and students is too precious to lose or limit to digital access only. I would gladly support and/or fund-raise for print versions and I hope that Ingrid Parent would support us in this. If I can be of help, I am volunteering. Paul Thiele
I thought you might be interested in this series. Pam Hi Doc Pass Woman! Thought we might have seen you yesterday but suppose you were at The Cleland, or worse yet, working! Thanks for snap of program along with check-list for lighting! With respect to The Wrecking Crew, heard the director,
Denny Tedesco, interviewed on Q a month or so ago. His father, Tommy,
was described by Guitar Player magazine as the most recorded guitarist in history, having played on thousands of recordings, many of which were top 20 hits." Cheers, Patrizzio!
Patriçio, I must correct you in that Juno is not a “he”, rather a very gentle and loving “she”. She is named after my first dog, which I had in a previous life, a school teacher in Duncan (on the Island). The origin of the name is as follows:
Juno (Latin: Iūno [ˈjuːno]) is an ancient Roman goddess, the protector
and special counselor of the state. She is a daughter of Saturn and sister (but also the wife) of the
chief god Jupiter and the mother of Mars and Vulcan.
Juno also looked after the women of Rome. Her Greek equivalent
was Hera.
Had I known you would be alone with the felines, I might
have kept her for another week or so and visited to introduce her to you
and the felines. Probably not feasible tho due to being in a critical
point in my “action plan” but would have been
a great diversion from my life in my current Château d’If.
Glad to hear you are on a meticulous but careful plan to
regain full function of your hip. I too, after a fairly vigorous summer
of cycling, plan to start attending the gym and restoring my body to
its former magnificence. Maybe next year, we
can go to the NBA try-out camps together.
Well, busy week coming up. Plan to optimize the
opportunity of having Rebecca’s truck to haul some stuff from the lumber
yard and re-do/undo some of the dubious “improvements” she made to my
place when she lived here.
[The original Juno (a bit neurotic)] On a completely unrelated note, I heard a really
interesting lecture on CBC Radio 1 on the topic of [loosely summarizing]
Living in the Superficial vs (attempting) to live in Reality. Guess
which is more successful! Fascinating. We’ll talk
about that over a single malt. cheers//bjp
Hi Reno Man! Trust Rebecca renos went/are going
well! I take it your goal, with respect to reship-shaping yourself, is
to return to Original Cowichan River Man! Is this Reality or Living in
the Superficial? Sorry about mis-assigning Juno's gender. Too bad about
missed opportunity as felines would have loved a visit from a canine
goddess!
Speaking of Radio 1, I also heard the same interview on Living in the Superficial vs Reality. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in action! Just in case Juno is only up on classical antiquity:
Historically, the uncertainty principle has been confused with a somewhat similar effect in physics, called the observer effect, which notes that measurements of certain systems cannot be made without affecting the systems, that is, without changing something in a system. Heisenberg offered such an observer effect at the quantum level (see below) as a physical "explanation" of quantum uncertainty. It has since become clear, however, that the uncertainty principle is inherent in the properties of all wave-like systems,[8] and that it arises in quantum mechanics simply due to the matter wave nature of all quantum objects.

[The original Branko (on the Cowichan River)]
Thus, the
uncertainty principle actually states a fundamental property of quantum
systems, and is not a statement about the observational success of
current technology. It must be emphasized that measurement does not mean
only a process in which a physicist-observer takes part, but rather any
interaction between classical and quantum objects regardless of any
observer. (N.B. on precision: If δx and δp are the precisions of
position and momentum obtained in an individual measurement and σ x
{\displaystyle \sigma _{x}} 
, σ p {\displaystyle \sigma _{p}} 
their standard deviations in an ensemble of individual measurements on
similarly prepared systems, then "There are, in principle, no
restrictions on the precisions of individual measurements δ x
{\displaystyle \delta x} 
and δ p {\displaystyle \delta p} 
, but the standard deviations will always satisfy σ x σ p ≥ ℏ / 2 {\displaystyle \sigma _{x}\sigma _{p}\geq \hbar /2} 
") Now we really have something to discuss over malt!!! Cheers, Il Conduttore!
