This morning I was awakened by construction noise. I thought they were demolishing a near by home to build a garage for the fire company and I wanted to photograph it's demise. I was in a hurry and I grabbed an old Sony A65 with an 18-55 kit lens and I left the house without my macro lens and tripod. It turned out the noise was a neighbor getting a new sidewalk. As I was walking back home I stopped and photographed a few flowers. They lack the sharpness from my macro lens but I thought I would post a few anyway.

The discipline I was taught made me a better student, more tolerant and respectful of other peoples feelings.
I grew up knowing what the words work, reverence and respect meant. I knew how and when to say yes mam,no mam, yes sir, no sir and thank you. I learned to respect others rights, opinions and property. I knew the meaning of truth, honor and duty. I survived knowing that the world does not owe me a living and if I want something i have to work for it. I learned love and respect for family friends and co workers, I have survived!

Who remembers the timex-Sinclair 1000 (jokingly referred to as “the doorstop”)? It boasted 3.2K. Extra 10K attachment about $40. You could attach up to four of them. This was the very early 70s. In the late 50s there were three ENIAC computers in United States. One was across the street from where I lived. It ran on 10,000 vacuum tubes. It required two full floors to provide air circulation to prevent overheating. When it turned on, the neighborhood power surge caused the TV picture to shrink momentarily. And you could not watch channel 2 (W CBS), because of the RF interference. That was a 10 K computer. Then came the transistor, and the world changed.

You mean grand kids and great grand kids don't you. I would venture to guess the average age of many UHH members kids is late thirties to mid forties.
As for new vs old math, the video simply showed a different way to determine the answer, a way that doesn't require memorization of times tables. It's a form of visual calculation used to teach young ones how the numbers relate. Bottom line, one plus one will always equal two regardless of how you get there. When they graduate they will use calculators just like everyone else.
