Spotted Turtle (Clemmys guttata): A #RealisticVirtualEarthForAtmosphere in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth (think #StreetView w #TimeSlider) ~as new IT tools~ to #ReverseGlobalWarming after ~18 mos of #NewData re dramatic reduction in gas emissions, -How much does temperature go down with rapid reduction in CO2 output? * * some further ideas about - holotropic envisioning - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/07/spotted-turtle-clemmys-guttata.html - which we talked about when I first got to Randolph some - Can one envision in one's mind new possibilities creatively, - and perhaps, for example, by reading the 'musical score' of the beautiful green surroundings around us as we ate dinner, and then outputting something new, as an expression of this envisioning - by perhaps creating a new motif in a piece of music ...

Fish Dock on #CuttyhunkIsland 7 years ago as reference for #SeaLevelRise? Are past 18 mos of #CoronavirusPandemic's downing of airlines & ~no auto travel in 200 countries a #NewData On-Off switch of CO2 emissions to inform how to #ReverseGlobalWarming in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth?

Nice to see Henry and Victoria, who seem well and welcoming, after not seeing them for many years in person. Arrived at 5:52 pm and the trip from New Bedford to Randolph, which according to Maps, took just under 4 hours. Got to New Bedford on the 11am Cuttyhunk Ferry just before noon. Amazingly, my car in a kind of vacant lot next to some residential buildings at the corner of Purchase and Walnut in NB was in good shape and started right up. Before this I had gone to the New Bedford Whaling Museum to get some gifts for Henry and Victoria (Louis had gone back to NYC for a job), and got them Moby Dick the book, and 3 T-shirts, blue with a Sperm Whale on the front, and New Bedford Whaling Museum Est. 1903 on the back. Went to the Elm Street garage and got a July parking pass, and the required electronic pass, costing 45$ and 10$ ... made out the check to the city of New Bedford, with a really nice person in the office (whom I had called a few days earlier I think), and my paper receipt mentioned something about Violations & $55 as their form of billing ... and perhaps regarding the vacant lot I parked in after hours too on June 28???

The keyboard and its stand for Piney's House as gifts had arrived on Cuttyhunk. and will likely pick them up getting on the 1:30 pm ferry to Cuttyhunk tomorrow, arriving at 2:30 ... :)

Lots of green New England forests (which I know so well) in full summer on the highways in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as I drove norther/ The highways became particularly nice in the northern part of New Hampshire. 

Henry made a lovely Indian chickpea dish, vegetarian, and we ate outside on the porch - on a lovely evening with lovely temperature, and green and flowers all around - eating eat, a salad and talking. Victoria brought out a nice dessert.  

Some computing technology news' bits - 

They also have a Google Nest here, - part of their wi-fi system ... so it's leading me to think more about the Google Nest X Yale Lock ... and what else Google Next could be used for ... out in California, for example. Henry and Victoria also use their smartphones much, which as little computers, make many sounds on there's, and thus seem to be becoming more alive ... and computer-interactive like. They're also talking about remodeling their house in Randolph, and am appreciating its character, and the benefits of a potential architect to do a good job ... and re your Sun Rooms.

Henry is an old friend, and good to have stood on the corners of Linden and Penn Avenues for all those years going to Shady Side on the Bus. My computer said it's Pin Mazumdar's birthday next Friday, July 23rd, and on the Cuttyhunk Ferry, I had asked Google Voice what time high tide on the full moon on July 23rd is ... 5:56 pm it showed me ... will check the Fish Dock then to see with my own eyes about oceans rising regarding Global Warming ... and the very humid summer once again on Cuttyhunk ... science in action opportunity :)

Curious to see what happens today with WUaS Monthly Business Meeting at noon, and possibly hiking afterward.

How are you? And what are you up to this weekend?

Love, Scott
