[Leica] Four for Weirdnesday

[kanner at acm.org (Herbert Kanner)]

Thanks to those who liked the murals.

Nathan,

I wasn't expecting to be taken literally. When I said "lunacy" it was 
a whimsical or even possibly sarcastic reference to the way much of 
the U.S. regards California. I suspect some of it may have to do with 
the movie industry. More of it may have to do with the student 
activism at the U. of California, Berkeley, which has been often in 
the public eye, starting at the time of the Vietnam war.

I should keep in mind that this forum is international and should 
avoid local wise cracks. I have the same problem with England, where 
I lived for eight years in the '70s. Now, when I see brief remarks on 
Twitter from a former colleague, I don't understand them half the 
time.

Cheers,

Herb

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats,
for they are subtle and will pee
on your computer!
