A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

@Yeti Bob-yes it has. At LEAST twenty years. Wait a minute-when I was a boy scout in 1978 or so we took a field trip to a ground based satellite station in Vernon, NJ. They used AutoCAD and showed a circle that was actually a polygon to save memory space. So its been at least 44 years I guess. We use AutoCAD 3D which is a bit weird, but some use it.

@Trouble - Thanks! That's good to hear. Her first book was a bit heavy handed, and read like a melodrama without much subtlety.

yeah, @tim, at times it did feel a wee heavy but mostly not.

This has been a fantastic show today. Listening in Toronto. The Lady B was amazing. And every day is a good day to hear Dawn Penn. Saw Horace Andy live a couple of weeks ago, incredible.

Loving the show. It's soothing this savage beast. Thanks for the book recos. I'm reading a book that I've found very compelling: "The King Must Die" by Mary Renault. It's a historical novel set in Ancient Greece, a first-person narrative about the mythological king, Theseus. You are with him as he has these amazing adventures. Very well written.
