Subj : newspaper was: moving or To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Apr 23 2020 10:33:00 Hi Nancy! BM>>> Very foggy out there this morning: "noticeable" up here on the hill so BM>>> is really dense. NB>>> That's what you get for being so close to a large river... BM>> As long as I'm way above it it's fine! Don't want to be singing "row, BM>> row, row your boat"! NB>> Even if it's just the murkiness of the fog... :) BM> During All Hallows Eve.....! NB> That would be an appropriate time for it, true... ;) I don't recall evenr having one with fog but have had with snow on the ground. BM> Possible. Have seen the same added spacing issue with short inserts. NB> That was more impressive in your message... as you will see, my NB> "friendly" editor took out those left leading spaces that your NB> editor introduced... ;) (I'll not fix the lines for the test NB> portion) BM> Let's see: copy last four lines, right marker at the 's' in 'gets': BM> have replied and then want to move a section to a new message it BM> gets BM> 'interesting'. Oh well. NB> Maybe there's a quirk in the magic spell for that that you don't BM> NB> have all the details about....? BM> Bubble bubble, toil and spillover!! NB> Indeed.. AIS, I did see what you meant about the weird issues NB> there... only clue left from your test in how my editor handled NB> it is that there's the 'BM>' inserted before the second 'NB>'... NB> ;) The word "bleah" comes to mind! Possibly alll that wil be solved when I get a round to switching to a Linux-based BBS system. Right now running it on Windows XP on a virtual machine. Of course that's a target for the But Firsts! BM>> Have used it several times since; my Aunt is out of the hospital (never BM>> did find out why she had to go) and back to the 'Kurhaus' and sounds BM>> pretty good. Why she's stuck there and no visitors hasn't clicked; NB>> Maybe it's related to the pandemic precautions... and to her NB>> otherwise living alone....? BM> No visitors definitely due to the COVID-19 issues, staying there an BM> extended time due to her living alone and lack of close-by relatives BM> (my cousin lives a half-hour away). NB> Good (advised) guess on my part, then.... :) They'd not release NB> her then until they were sure she could manage on her own NB> entirely... Right. I know I needed a lot of help when I was home recuperating from the fracturing the femur and I was a lot younger and healthier that she is. NB>>> And the waltzes, polkas and marches from the entire Strauss family NB>>> are still quite popular today.... :) Especially for New Year's Day NB>>> concerts from Vienna and here in the States as well.... :) BM>> Yes, on PBS. My Mother was watching, had a phone call, put her cable BM>> DVD box on mute and somehow managed to mute the audio of the BM>> recording. No idea how she managed that. I did send her a DVD, which BM>> she hasn't seen yet because she's unsure how to use that machine and BM>> with the COVID-19 the friend who would show her is staying away from BM>> everyone. NB>> Eventually she'll be able to view and enjoy it... :) BM> Yes. To me is 'easy': stick DVD in player, select input on TV, enjoy. BM> There are quite a few other steps done automatically which are very BM> manual to her! NB> Yup, she'd need to think through each minor part of each step, NB> and then wonder if she'd missed something... She'd need a lot NB> more experience and practice to feel comfortable doing it on her NB> own... Right. I think her 'big deal' is switching the source to the DVD, and more importantly back to being able to watch TV. ...Here I made sure to have a 'commonality rule' of sorts amongst the switch options: if the TV is connected to a Frontend then the TV's Input was always HDMI 1. BM>>> We have something like eight cameras just on the I-74 Bridge itself, BM>>> some of which are identified as present but are blocked so might be BM>>> more for police identification. Also noted one camera needs to be BM>>> repositioned as is looking up towards the top of the suspension cables BM>>> instead of down at the traffic. NB>>> Maybe that was intentional, at some point.... ;) BM>> Aimed up to check the birds' migration? NB>> Who knows... ;) Maybe.... BM>> They either re-aimed or took the feed down. NB>> Probably re-aimed... maybe the wind had swung it out of position, NB>> or something... ;) BM> Or one of those migrating birds stopped for a rest, landed on the base BM> end, and tipped up. ...Your wind guess sounds more logical! NB> If the bird was heavy enough, I suppose that your guess could NB> have been also a possibility... ;) Perching on a high vantage point -- if good enough for a camera even better for a bird! NB>>> ... Farts are just the ghosts of things we ate. BM>> Daryl would like that tagline! NB>> He may well already have that one... BM> Save for when he gets back. Last I heard he was trying for May 1st, BM> anniversary of when the board first went on-line. NB> I left it in... ;) And, as far behind as I am, I note that he's NB> already back and working away at his backlog... (I did jump NB> forward to start answering his replies...) Nice that he was able NB> to get back before May 1st... ;) And Daryl's been on and off with the weather conditions. I will admit pulling the plug is much safer than relying on surge protection like I do. If conditions get really nasty I would yank some cords. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
