Getting Out Of Town

Bit slow, ... Don't people want to know it ends?

Update: It's now 5:58pm and I haven't got enough to pay for my hotel tomorrow because it took so long to upload this.

This is a series, longer than Twin Peaks - The Return!



The following video should be relocated*

Mark Knopfler - Brothers in Arms


For some reason this line "These mist-colored mountains ..." reminds me of a photograph I once saw of Nyanga in Rhodesia. My father and his brother used to go there to catch trout, I think. I never went there, as far as I know, unless it was when I was very little and we went to a beach south of Beira (Lorenzo Marques I think) in Moçambique. I only know about that from family photographs, ... But I think I once checked and the road we travelled must've passed through Nyanga. In Rhodesia they called the area around Salisbury the highlands. I thought that was because it was higher than the Zambezi valley. I wonder whether some of the people who were displaced when the Kariba Dam was built were moved there? I wonder too about Che Guevara's trips to Africa. See El Congo del Che Guevara:


I remember my aunt Barbara's boyfriend Graham playing a record to my father and telling him it was about a battle in the Congo. It was this, I think:

Johnny Wakelin - In Zaire


Most people seem to think it's about the boxing match, ... Graham used to read High Times though, so maybe he was better informed!  High Times started in 1974 apparently. See Pink Floyd - Time.

Maybe I should read this: Una odisea africana.

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, ...
