Gray day

Warmer, about mid-50s F when I went out for the newspaper this morning (as opposed to, say, mid-30s...) with dewpoint to match.  We have clouds.  We have fog.  Wife is muttering that it's laundry-day and she can't even hang stuff in the sunporch and expect it to dry, much less outside, and still the radiators are cold.

Working on POWERS again.  Maybe if I toss out bits and  pieces here, you people will hound me into some degree of excitement over actually, you know, slogging through and finishing it?

But maybe not.

Such is the grayness of it all.

Blast from the past...

In case you youngsters have any interest in ancient radio -- the sound I heard on shortwave radio a couple of days after the launch of the first artificial earth satellite, fifty years ago:
