David Lynch Loves Trees Too

See Linda Faludi's post.

DAVID: I planted 500 trees with my dad one time. Journalist of Surface Magazine: Where did you plant them? DAVID: Idaho City, Idaho. Idaho City used to be the capital of Idaho, before Boise became the capital. And my father ran the Boise National Experimental Forest. I was in the Boy Scouts, and we all went up and planted 500 trees one weekend. Near Idaho City. My father was a research scientist for the Department of Agriculture and loved trees. I always said, ‘If you cut my father’s leash, he would go right into the woods.’ His favorite tree was the Ponderosa Pine. Now I hear that millions of trees are dying every year, among them are Ponderosa Pines here in Los Angeles. It’s a very, very sad thing. A species of bark beetle, which apparently because of the rise in temperature, doesn’t go dormant any more in the winter, and it’s killing all these trees. Trees are so precious to us, as you know. Hopefully we’ll get ourselves together and save them. - Excerpt from: "David Lynch’s Universe Knows No Bounds", Surface Magazine, September 2019. DAVID to The Guardian: I think his happiest time was when he had the Boise National Experimental Forest. A whole forest to experiment with! Things like erosion, bugs – so many different kinds of bugs – disease … And I loved going into that wood. There were little stands with little houses on the stands, and you'd open up the door and there'd be all kinds of weather equipment in there – little read-outs. It was really kind of great. - Excerpt from "The interview: David Lynch" by Gaby Wood and Hazel Sheffield for The Guardian, 2009.

The nice thing about letting other people speak for you is that some of them do it a million times better than you ever could!

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory Illinois. Did

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the time, ...
