My Dragon Fly and Me If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly! By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and me... And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight... Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair... bentfeather© 2002

Good morning, everyone!

April Love

by Ernest Dowson

We have walked in Love's land a little way,
We have learnt his lesson a little while,
And shall we not part at the end of day,
With a sigh, a smile?

A little while in the shine of the sun,
We were twined together, joined lips forgot
How the shadows fall when day is done,
And when Love is not.


We have made no vows - there will none be broke,
Our love was free as the wind on the hill,
There was no word said we need wish unspoke,
We have wrought no ill.


So shall we not part at the end of day,
Who have loved and lingered a little while,
Join lips for the last time, go our way,
With a sigh, a smile.

Scientist warns climate change will impact beer production

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - The price of beer is likely to rise in coming decades because climate change will hamper the production of a key grain needed for the brew - especially in Australia, a scientist warned Tuesday.

Jim Salinger, a climate scientist at New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, said climate change likely will cause a decline in the production of malting barley in parts of New Zealand and Australia. Malting barley is a key ingredient of beer.

Morning

I went out on an April morning All alone, for my heart was high, I was a child of the shining meadow, I was a sister of the sky. There in the windy flood of morning Longing lifted its weight from me, Lost as a sob in the midst of cheering, Swept as a sea-bird out to sea. Sara Teasdale

Reasons Why a Slide Rule (and Paper Pad)

is Better Than an X Workstation

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- A Slide Rule doesn't shut down abruptly when it gets too hot.

- One hundred people all using Slide Rules and Paper Pads do not start

wailing and screaming due to a single-point failure.

- A Slide Rule doesn't smoke whenever the power supply hiccups.

- A Slide Rule doesn't care if you smoke, or hiccup.

- You can spill coffee on a Slide Rule; you can use a Slide Rule while

completely submerged in coffee.

- You never get nasty system messages about filling up your entire

paper quota with pointless GIF pictures for the root window.

- A Slide Rule and Paper Pad fit in a briefcase with space left over

for lunch or a change of underwear.

- A properly used Slide Rule can perform pipelined *and* parallel

operations.  (Okay, you need a guru for this.)

- You don't get junk mail offering pricey software upgrades that fix

current floating point errors while introducing new ones.

- A Slide Rule doesn't need scheduled hardware maintenance.

- A Paper Pad supports text and graphics images easily, and can be

easily upgraded from monochrome to color.

- Slide Rules are designed to a standardized, open architecture.

- You can hold a Slide Rule at arm's length, to hit the obnoxious

person at the next seat over.

- A Slide Rule is immune to viruses, worms, and other depredations

from hostile adolescents with telephones.

- Additional Paper Pads can be integrated into the system seamlessly

and without needing to reconfigure everything.

- Nobody will make you feel bad by introducing a smaller, faster,

cheaper slide rule next month.
