That hill is called Clee Hill and there used to be a NORAD Early Warning radar station on top. [Wikipedia says it was only a NATS radar station, but I am not so sure about that] It looked like a huge golf-ball. That's where Sue Gibson taught me to drive in her dried-blood-red Triumph Stag, [I've just Googled it and it clearly wasn't a Stag. All Google shows are V8-engined 2-door convertibles, ... This thing must've been a 4-door, because I remember driving several of us to Shrewsbury in it to practice rolling kayaks in the swimming pool there. So either I'm wrong, or I died and I'm in a different world now, ... Or some cunt is fucking with my head. I don't remember the engine capacity, but maybe it was 1.6 liter, ... It was quite powerful, ... But I don't think it was a V8! Another data point was that Sue and Mike Riding and I drove up to Aviemore for New Years one year around 1983/4 and we had a tent and all our winter clothes and stuff, so there's no way it was 2-door. Also I'm certain it wasn't convertible because it had a roof rack and J-bars for carrying canoes.]

Clee Hill was also where Julie lived with her mum and they used to drive past in a light-blue three-wheeler like a Reliant Robin. Julie's mum was disabled, and I never met her. But I was terribly in love with Julie. We just never got it together though. God knows why! I think now that she really liked me. It was Sue Gibson who introduced me to Bob Dylan's music, and Donovan's too. It was Sue who hired the Ludlow Sixth Form College minibus and drove a bunch of us to Birmingham NEC to see a Roger Waters Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking gig.

... 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, ...

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
