No, no, nope ... it's PETNAX now.

Kyoto is doomed as well ... along with the rest of Janap.

Very insightful, Jena.

You should be proud, Jena, as you share your new name with the place where renowned lens maker Zeiss AG was founded

I'm not sure what makes you connect Jane with Jena. Besides, when did Shirley become Jane?

Ah, it happened right now, that's when

I got to visit the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville this past spring, and standing under their Saturn V, I was struck how such a huge machine, with millions of parts in thousands of subsystems (built by different contractors) could be planned and built with everything done on PAPER.

When I worked in civil engineering way back in the Dark Ages we did everything on paper. And I used an HP33C scientific notation calculator rather than a slide rule to make complex calculations.

Sometimes I reflect on those days, and miss them.

Even though the work seemed daunting, looking back it is easy to see that they were much simpler times. No cell phones. No computers. No internet. None of the distractions of today's 'Space Age' life.

I don't know Shirley or that hoc guy, and not sure I am missing anything...but I did discover what is missing in those cinnamon bacon rolls....Velveeta! Can't wait to try it!

BTW- If that barn door opens and some farmer guy comes out unsnapping his overalls....I'm outta here in a hurry!

@Parallax, why is your emoticon undergoing user familiarization with the K-01?

I don't think you have to worry (it was the children's zoo, after all), but that cow was as baffled how she got "over a barrel" as everyone else...
