Starbuck commented on the diary post Over Easy: Monday Science by BoxTurtle.
I missed it by one year. I moved permanently to Portland in Nov ’63, after first attending a 6 month training program in 1961 for Tektronix.
(Can you imagine that happening today?)

Interesting thought: Hosting the Salon. I’ll have to give it some thought. It will be particularly difficult for those who comment without reading the book first. The stuff was very new to me. If one has a background in Geology and the evolution of Geological Science, one might be able to make good comments. You [...]

Or Portland OR! Oh wait. See Columbus Day 1962 in Portland.
So far as Global warming, I recommend this book for it’s excellent content. I would like it to be in the Book Salon. Very interesting stuff.

Nehalem is just one of the names Intel picked up from local areas in the NW and elsewhere. You will find “Anchorage” among the listings.

Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Either way the praying is being done for rewards, it’s only the difference in how the rewards are obtained.
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
Yep they get their reward in full.
So, what’s the beef?

Starbuck commented on the blog post Come Saturday Morning: Republicans Bad and Good
But it has the ring of professionals who are trained specifically to be dispassionate. I prefer that to hand wringing or reminiscing over the good ol’ days.

I’m up at 2:30 reading this wonderful thread, in the midst of such carnage to our spirit refreshed, and I would leave you this.

Starbuck commented on the blog post Over 55, out of work more than six months? Headhunters say you’re screwed.
Looking for work as an elder? Look at contract work. I am way past 55 and have a contract job paying reasonably well. Yep, it can end any time (and has, in one case less than 2 weeks!).
Be sure you list all your capabilities. I was hired once because of my answer to a question: What do you do between contracts?” It became a lead that I never would have anticipated.

And you can even take the doggies out for a walk in the snow if you want.
Is that the price for that omelette? I’ll take it!
Weather has been rainy here as well, pretty solid for a couple of days but not nearly what the Mid West got. Today it’s nice and the temps are going to climb next week. I may get a chance to exercise my new Nikon. It’s a beauty! And man! I cannot believe that it outperforms my older version so well.

Hanford? A couple of hundred miles. It’s near the Tri-Cities.
Sometimes we think about re-locating, and if we do and stay in the PNW probably above Hanford on the Columbia, near the North Cascades.
Gotta win a lottery or two. What’s the song? “Gotta Pick a Pocket or Two”!

I agree with you about what the LHC might deliver..fromtiers beyond which we cannot go because of the sheer size necessary for the next energy level.
God perhaps doesn’t play dice with the universe. God plays dice with us.
And God has won all the throws!

Starbuck commented on the diary post Over Easy: An After-Easter Reflection by msmolly.
I’m off to work, but a parable also comes to mind: He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others. “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and [...]

Starbuck commented on the diary post Over Easy: An After-Easter Reflection by msmolly.
I saw that in msmolly’s heading, however, I don’t have a clue as to what went on.
Not that that sort of sniping here (and elsewhere) is new to me. I blessedly missed the current version!
