It's the middle of Winter, nearly all the trees are barren, but this single Hawthorn shoot didn't get the memo 😂
One problem remained. The buttons needed to be held in place over the
main chip. This is when the idea to put the components in a golf ball
box arose.
Every tried? Ever failed? No matter, try again, fail again, fail better.

Set on board a deep space scientific vessel called The Persistence in the year 2521, the ship arrives at the site of a collapsing star 17,000 light years from earth. While conducting a major experiment, a horrific incident occurs mutating many of the crew. As The Persistence is pulled into the gravity of the collapsing star, the ship’s computer, ‘IRIS’ wakes remaining members of the crew from cryogenic sleep – one at a time. Can you stay alive long enough to get to the engine room and save The Persistence?

Here's the device I started out with. You're supposed to twirl it over
your head and the blinking LEDs form letters. By the way, the unit I used is called The Skyliner.
Persistence did not pay off for some LaRouche followers who were yap-yapping about how LaRouche can save the universe from the Baby Boomers, and how only he can save us all from imminent economic disaster – oh – and yeah – he will impeach Cheney too by the way.
I stopped to point out the Cheney-doings of Patrick Fitzgerald the United States attorney in Chicago.
This lady answered, "Who's Pat Fitzgerald?"
Siggi had two teams with four Greenland Huskies in each team. They were wonderful dogs and Siggi is such a champion. His sled was 80kg which put him another league than me for instance with my 11kg sled. Still he finished close to the other teams and had a big smile on the whole time. True athletes, all of them!
Persistence pays off. I overnighted in Oregon in order to try again for the Burrowing Owls early in the morning. Easy to find so early in the morning. Also, later in the season, they get mobbed by Brewer's Blackbirds. So I took too many photos...
Finally! The components were extracted from the traditional case by
breaking a couple soldered joints and applying some carefully placed
force.
During our visit to the Dali Museum (One Dali Blvd., St. Petersburg), I took photos of some of the oil paintings on display. This work is titled The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory.
A few details on this painting according to the museum's website:
The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory
Salvador DalÃ
1952-54
Oil on canvas
This painting features one of Dali's most popular images, the melting watch. In 1931, Dali painted his first melting watch. He said he was inspired one hot day while working in his studio when he noticed some runny Camembert cheese.
To Dali, the oozing cheese resembled a melting watch, so immediately he painted three melting watches on his canvas, capturing the public’s imagination for succeeding generations.
It is not clear why these melting watches are so startling and memorable, but they do suggest several powerful associations. They illustrate how time can be fluid, as in a dream. But a more essential and threatening association concerns our dependence upon clocks. The world runs by the clock – scheduling events is essential for life to function normally. If clocks melt, time becomes meaningless, and there is no way to control activities, leading to chaos.
Looking across the painting, what do you see? There are several images suggesting chaos, including the ocean fragmenting into atomic bits, its skin-like edge lifted to reveal a fish fluorescing. Yet there are other images that suggest continuity as well, particularly in the details of Dali's beloved Port Lligat landscape. Other questions arise – is the image disintegrating, or is it an expression of continuity? Is time interrupted, or is it fluid and elastic? Looking beneath the ocean's surface, do you discover disintegration or order? Dali leaves the answers to the viewer.

Assignment: Create a photo that represents the idea of immortality.
Immortality...I thought about sunlight and other preconceived images and held them in my mind's eye, like a shopping list. I then went looking for an image to match the construct in my mind. So glad I was open to seeing something I didn't expect.
Other paths to immortality depart from here:
"But the Voyager record is on its way out of the solar system. The erosion in interstellar space--chiefly cosmic rays and impacting dust grains--is so slow that the information on the record will last a billion years. Genes and brains and books encode information differently and persist through time at different rates. But the persistence of memory of the human species will be far longer in the impressed metal grooves on the Voyager interstellar record."

The motion sensor is a small spring that makes contact with a metal
ring around it when the device is in motion, and can shut off the LED
array if no motion is detected.
