No one had posted in awhile, and I wanted to get this pool moving again, so I just figured that 6.77 gallons of gas would be a good amount to get today when I filled up. $3.09/gallon for regular in Durham, NC. I initially uploaded a photo that indicated the "gallons" label on the gas pump, but the number wasn't prominent enough to be see clearly in a thumbnail.
This was the best location to signal back and forth with inmates of Alcatraz. Lenny "Long Shot" Gabortz kept his numbers racket thriving by using one of his guys on the outside. The actual mode of signaling was never discovered.

The Ukulele Group played some classic numbers and encouraged the audience to sing along with them. They brought in a real feel good atmosphere with their performance. These pictures record a little from the East Peak Outdoors Launch for Art in the Park at the Market Hall in Penistone. This was an opening celebration to a festival of walking, cycling and riding in Denby Dale, Penistone, Kirkburton and North Sheffield.

This is a detail lino block print of Countess, Lady Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), who published the first computer program.* She worked together with Charles Babbage, the inventor of the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine (the first - analogue! - computers), correcting his notes on how to calculate Bernoulli Numbers with the Analytical Engine. More importantly, she (a great communicator, daughter of mad, bad and dangerous to know Lord Byron) was able to understand and explain the workings of the analytical engine and the potential of computing machines. Her comments seem visionary to the modern reader. Babbage called her the Enchantress of Numbers and the Princess of Parallelograms.
The print is in gold, purple and turquoise water-based block printing ink on mauve Japanese gampi paper 15.25 inches x 10.5 inches.
