An Adventure With Natasha

This was great! It's a bit long though, ... Parts 1 and 2 below, but more to come, ...


The books:



You can read this at Project Gutenberg: The Tragic Comedians by George Meredith










It was Warren Zevon who sang My Shit's Fucked Up. Doron Zeilberger is a radical mathematician.

There's another bit of the story to come, ...

The next video is over an hour walking around Camden: The Langland Gardens Program with Eugenia Cheng et al (and Jon Crowcroft of course, who has a blog too: http://paravirtualization.blogspot.com/) on posets and trichotomy v. dichotomy and canonical orderings. We also met T.E. Lawrencce, or one of his bikes, at any rate, and UCL School accomapanied by Hampstead's Pearly King and Queen and Thomas Bellamy , Eva Gore-Booth (and George Michael!) See Murder of John Lennon (Lennon's remains were cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, and his ashes were scattered in Central Park, in sight of the Dakota) See Romans 12:5 (King James Version).

But there's more, ... Hampstead ...


 And more, ... Highgate ... from the Wylde Apothecary, ... with Imogen Holst! See Imogen Holst: Discovering Imogen album review – expressive works from composer hiding in plain sight by Erica Jeal in the Guardian a month or so ago. Ends with charging batteries in The Vale of Health, Hampstead Heath. Then we get to see the house of D.H. Lawrence, but no stables in sight, ... So I have no idea where Lady Chatterley was stabled, ... Then amogst the Lodgings, but no square in sight, ... See Lewis Carroll's "A Tangled Tale".

An hour or two later, ...

... 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.
