Dear Michelle: Thank you for the information. Yes, it seems to be the same today and the tax forms are much longer now.

Thank you so very much, Muriel! I am so glad you enjoyed reading it. I was surprised that one could purchase a piano for under $10. Yes, I am proud to have kept my cursive handwriting from high school. I had an elderly supply teacher in the mid-1980s who taught me some more advanced cursive writing. I write when I send people cards on their birthdays or Christmas. Your positive feedback inspires me to continue locating more interesting resources to post from our not-too-distant past.

That's a fun selection of titles, Thomas.

It's a lovely blog,Thomas, in honour of these musical artists--and in memory of Freddie Mercury. Time as passed so quickly.

That is an interesting suggestion, J LaFortune! I will speak to my colleagues about that suggestion. Thank you for that fascinating comment.

I agree with you, D. In today's world the message is more important for our climate. I carry a little neoprene zip bag with my fork, knife, spoon, chopsticks, and silicone straw with me at all times. I try to keep my footprint to a bare minimum.

Yes, indeed. I was drawn to the imagery and messages behind them too.

Dear Andrea: Yes, those were scary times indeed especially for the older generation who witnessed the first "War to End All Wars" and were disappointed to go through another more powerful version less than two decades later. Thank you for your comment. These images are quite powerful.

Dear Mark: Thank you for your feedback. I agree that this is an incredible bark-ive to scroll through.

Dear Isabel: This is an excellent blog detailing the history of space flight. It is pretty funny that Wan Hu tied rockets to his chair hoping that he would have a comfortable flight to the sky. I look forward to reading more blogs from you!

Thank you Doug Wighton for your feedback and interest in this blog.

Thank you Alyson and Mo Dixon for your warm comments. Summer is upon us. David had some great pictures to include in the blog and him and I had a fun time putting this together. We should definitely have the original printed version in the Baldwin Room to compare this to.

Dear B J Pryor: Yes, you are right and thank you for pointing that out to me. I will update my blog. I was probably looking at his date of passing by mistake.

Thank you, AH, for your generous feedback. Your wordsmithing skills are impeccable too.

Thank you, Angjelin. This reminds me of several deep discussions on consciousness on Sam Harris', "Making Sense" podcast which lists several discussions and resources on consciousness, https://samharris.org/search/consciousness.

Dear Angjelin: This is an interesting blog on consciousness and artificial intelligence. It brings back memories of undergraduate studies where the philosophical topic forced us (students) to contemplate beyond the average norm.
