Toad in the Hole

Western toad painting by Carl Dennis Buell

Birding and other pleasures and aggravations, in Berkeley and beyond, by Ron Sullivan.

In a Sideshow

you’d call this The Reveal.

Among other fairly gratuitous bells and whistles, this computer came with a camera set into the monitor.

It also has a remote. I haven’t attempted to deploy that yet.

(Edited to replace photo with another version, less purple.)

aack! as a kid, i remember seeing TV phones in tomorrowland at disneyland, and that seemed like the coolest idea ever. now, not so much. but it’s a nice shot.

why would one need a remote for a computer?

Ron,
Nice photo. That being said, quit messing around and get back to work. That Mac and DSL will be the ruination of you yet. Why isn’t Joe in the picture? Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh, and BTW—you know how you frequently drop disparaging remarks about your own looks? Well, you’re going to have to stop that now. No one’s going to buy it anymore, if anyone ever did.

It’s not just any woman who can carry off purple skin, you know. ;)

Hopefully she’s not been chewing that experimental Willy Wonka gum…

So good to see you, I missed you so much! I am off work for the next three days (how wierd is that?) and hope to connect with you over the weekend by phone. If I don’t—know that I love you and miss you every singe moment of every single day.

I got my travel tote, hope I get to use it soon coming your way!
