Subj : Re: newspaper was: moving or To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Thu Apr 30 2020 20:15:52 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 23-Apr-2020 10:33 <=- BM>>>> Very foggy out there this morning: "noticeable" up here on the hill BM>>>> so 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... ;) BM> I don't recall ever having one with fog but have had with snow on the BM> ground. We've had that, too.... also with rain... fog would actually be a little better... ;) 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 there... NB>> only clue left from your test in how my editor handled it is that NB>> there's the 'BM>' inserted before the second 'NB>'... ;) BM> The word "bleah" comes to mind! Possibly alll that wil be solved when BM> I get a round to switching to a Linux-based BBS system. Right now BM> running it on Windows XP on a virtual machine. Of course that's a BM> target for the But Firsts! I suppose that could have something to do with it.... And it's more just an annoyance, not a major issue.... so yeah, But Firsts will no doubt jump to stay ahead of it... ;) BM>>> 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 her NB>> then until they were sure she could manage on her own entirely... BM> Right. I know I needed a lot of help when I was home recuperating BM> from the fracturing the femur and I was a lot younger and healthier BM> that she is. Exactly... :) 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, and NB>> then wonder if she'd missed something... She'd need a lot more NB>> experience and practice to feel comfortable doing it on her own... BM> Right. I think her 'big deal' is switching the source to the DVD, and BM> more importantly back to being able to watch TV. ...Here I made sure BM> to have a 'commonality rule' of sorts amongst the switch options: if BM> the TV is connected to a Frontend then the TV's Input was always HDMI BM> 1. That does seem a little complicated, even to me.... although I do know what you are actually talking about... ;) 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, or NB>>> 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 have NB>> been also a possibility... ;) BM> Perching on a high vantage point -- if good enough for a camera even BM> better for a bird! For the bird, anyway.... at least potentially... NB>> And, as far behind as I am, I note that he's already back and working NB>> away at his backlog... (I did jump forward to start answering his NB>> replies...) Nice that he was able to get back before May 1st... ;) BM> And Daryl's been on and off with the weather conditions. I will admit BM> pulling the plug is much safer than relying on surge protection like I BM> do. If conditions get really nasty I would yank some cords. And things do seem to be worse where he is than here, or even where you are..... I do hope he gets the UPS etc issues all solved, and soon... :) ttyl neb ....
