I believe I have a few more of these waiting to be posted. They are screenshots from my Motorola cell phone.

I am familar with Space 1889 and I own a few of these miniatures and have a couple of the game-rules pamphlets on my shelf. This really a great game concept. It is like a steampunk universe where somehow nations made the trip to space in hte 1880's.

Spanish Lyrics

"Yo vide una garza moraDándole combate a un ríoAsí es como se enamoraTu corazón con el míoLuna, luna, luna, luna llenaAnda muchacho a la casaY me traes la carabina, jioPa’ matar este gavilánQue no me deja gallinaLuna, luna, luna, luna llenaLa luna me está mirandoYo no sé lo que me veYo tengo la ropa limpiaAyer tarde la lavéLuna, luna, luna, luna llena"

English Translation

"I saw a black heronBattling it out with a riverThat is how your heartFalls in love with mineMoon, moon, moon, full moonGo, boy, to the houseAnd bring me the rifleTo kill this hawkThat won't spare a single one of my chickensMoon, moon, moon, full moonThe moon is looking at meI don’t know what it sees in meI have clean clothesI washed them late yesterday afternoonMoon, moon, moon, full moon."

Blinding Ignorance

"Blinding ignorance does mislead us. 'O' wretched mortals, open your eyes!."

Leonardo da Vinci ¹

---

AI Overview

¹This quote is contributed to Leonardo da Vinci and is often found in his notebooks, reflecting his frustrations with human ignorance and inaction. It is a call to use observation, science, and intellect to overcome biases and superficial understanding.

Key Contextual Points:

Source: The phrase appears in Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, specifically referencing the tendency for human ignorance to lead to poor decisions, often cited in discussions of the artist's scientific and philosophical thought.

Interpretation: It is a plea for critical thinking and observation, encouraging people to look beyond surface-level reality to see the true nature of things.

Theatricality: The phrase "O! Wretched mortals" is noted as a passionate, almost despairing cry from Leonardo regarding the prevalence of human folly.

Broader Thought: It connects to his broader philosophies that experience and study (theory) are essential, rather than relying on unthinking practice, as seen in his collected thoughts on Goodreads.

¹ The quote emphasizes the importance of gaining knowledge through observation and intellectual effort rather than staying in the dark.

I am now on Running Linux Mint

I have experimented with various linux distros in the past and I was ready for something different. We still have a computer running Microsoft and since I have retired there is no longer a need for both of the computers to run a Microsoft OS.

Chouinard Expedition Sewing Kit

I found this sewig kit at the bottom of a side pouch on an old backpack and I a afraid that most of the contents are looking rather sad with mildew and rust. About the only item that wasn't in bad shape was the needle vise.

The kit included two heavy duty sewing needles, the pinvise, a few strieght pins, a couple short pieces of heavy duty waxed threading material, a cotter pin, used to fish a draw string back into a jacket, and cellaphane bag with a button. There are also printed instructions on how to use the contents of this package for various tasks.

The needles and cotter pin are encrusted in rust and will be replaced. Although the pouch doesn't look to bad it could use some cleaning, and then have leather conditioner applied to its surface.
