That reminds me - I visited the Museum of the Air Force last summer, mostly the Cold war and Space/Future war sections, and there were a surprising number of distinct models of nuclear weapon on exhibit. Mostly showing performance increase along with the planes, I guess?

One of the other highlights of my summer vacation: saw *cranes* for the first time! (First spotted them grazing in a field, but got better pictures later on a boat trip.) Much bigger than herons, they sport a very woodpecker-like red cap.

IIRC Rogue Programs (Hoffman) and Computers Under Attack (Denning) actually included the article; Cyberpunk (Hafner) and Cuckoo's Egg (Stoll) tell the story in more detail. The VHS tapes: MIT collected up the news footage at the time.

Saw this 0-0-0-SA safety diamond on a back door at a mall (not on a truck, on the building itself) and wondered why you'd even bother putting up a 0-0-0 label: turns out (according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFPA_70... ) that SA means "Simple asphyxiant gas" (in a mall it's probably dry ice.)

I picked up "This Is How You Lose the Time War" in Summer of 2019, finally *read* it in Summer of 2020 (mostly parked at a pandemic-abandoned sports field, in a convertible with the top down.) Ever since then I've wanted to take my own red/blue cover shot - *finally*, five years later, I got one!
