Sorry to have gone all quiet here again. We are getting our house ready to sell, and having lived here since 1982, it’s a huge task. By the time we get to the end of each day — which is when I usually have some time to write — we’re whipped.
I’ll post up interesting links when I run across them, but I won’t be doing much more than that for a little while yet.
I will take a moment here to note that we’ve just landed the Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars, and it is happily transmitting data from its new home.

The next one will be (as Dad used to say) feet first. A little ambiguous, but I knew what he meant.
