We've been over the mountain (Mt. Hood), my two daughters and I. Alexia went earlier in her dad's late mom's Buick. Sam, Tara's uncle, was in hospice, at Partners in Care in Bend, Oregon.
Last night, back in Portland, we visited Atlas Pizza, Tara and I, Patrick joining us. Patrick has been contracted to dig down into command line Python minus any IDE. A paying client likes it that way. He's using Wing's debugger in another class, a habit I'm likewise gradually acquiring.
I've completed a first Arduino course, a Coursera MOOC, and now I'm wading more deeply into that world of programmable circuits. Tonight I'm teaching Python to adults, and next week to kids as well. Mark me as firmly planted in tech.
However, American Literature (we might call it that) is on my mind, and I wonder about standards. How much are able to build immune systems, as we might call them, if following a more German philosophy of bubbles, globes, foams. To what extent will we stay prey, to "false news" in whatever guises?
Judy and I visited the funeral director while Alexia and Tara went on ahead. They ended up test driving a Ford Fiesta in Madras. No memorial service has been scheduled yet; a way will open. This journey has been a part of it. Remembering Sam is a new theme now, one I'll treasure.
Carol has done her share of road trips recently, both east and west, and flew the Blue House solo while we were gone. Temperatures soared to record highs this weekend. We're glad for the break in the heat wave, with overcast skies, now coasting in the seventies (Fahrenheit).
I've been showing Tara the latest PR around C6XTY, including my 4D logo in the mix, next to the link to Synchronofile.
