Do It Like a Delm, Week 8/17/2015
This late-breaking not-an-entry from Maggie Leber will be of interest to those who take their piloting seriously. Maggie says, “OK, this is just for fun because it’s not according to the rules, which among other things call for a picture, not a video. But I had fun putting it together today.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHrhA-gqBOI
accompanied by “Dragon in Exile” and an entire Library of Liaden Universe books.
Cycling like a delm!

It was the 40th year this free concert has been held. 14.000 people was present.

Historical photos show this tree in place by 1941. May have been there at city founding in 1903.

All in a good cause though, a friend’s going to OCR it, I’ll copy-edit it for scannos, and the friend will make it into an ebook for my personal use.

I must tell you: Though I often become bored, restless, and uncomfortable after a while “on the needle,” Dragon In Exile made this donation a breeze! A third reading brought out even more nuance and connectivity.
Not terribly exciting but there was no camera back in 1975 when I and several co-workers walked on the catwalk underneath the bridge from the Coronado side back to San Diego. That was exciting! The catwalk was expanded metal and only had a simple pipe railing on each side.

In this case, the white dragon overlooks the cargoes in the hold of the Cutty Sark, a ship which used to do the tea run (from Shanghai), and then moved on to transporting wool (from Australia to the UK).
This is me between labs in my denim Liaden Universe shirt investigating the sublimation of dry ice.
I am wearing my Liad T-shirt – and did not forget my kindle, which contains the Liad universe (well … almost).
I came home from the event with silver coins from 3 British Monarch eras (George V, George VI and Elizabeth II), a few foreign coins, and won a Baroque pearl key-chain.
Leon Kemp (husband, and also a Liad fan) did the photography for the event (his hobby)

The *really interesting* thing I am doing is finally taking 5 mins for myself and entering the Doing it like a Delm contest. (It’s been a pretty rough/hectic couple of months.). Better last minute than not at all, however 🙂
I coulda climbed higher, but I wanted the logo to not get lost among the leaves
Exciting? Of course, exciting–reading a new Liaden book. On a comfortable couch, with Guns and Roses on in the background, a smoke in my right hand (well, a Siamese named Smoke) and a glass of the red to hand on my left.
Thanks for pictures and the memories!
lisamia keshoc, for the many hoursof entertainment and knowledge you have shared.
Honor, love, talent, joy, all your gifts to us, thank you, beyond words.
In ~65 years of reading ‘Science Fiction’ I have never felt it as necessary to let the Authors know how much their characters and ‘Universe’ are enjoyed. The characters come across as ‘real’ people, as well as the non-human sentient characters, a Tree, (fun concept and well handled,) Jeeves, Bechimo, (a concept rapidly becoming possible in our technological culture,) Norbears, and of course, Clutch Turtles. The Author that had this depth of character ‘realism’ in his stories was Robert Heinlein. His Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress were both required reading in my High School. I could go on, but you get the point. I am looking forward to MANY more stories, (Soon of course.)
Thanks again for a wonderful ‘Universe’.
