Here's an article about Val from the Philadelphia Inquierer, Nov. 5, 2003
Hiking: Memories of flipping thru vinyl. I still have my turntable from back
in the day too. Along with several albums that bring back fond memories.
Molly: "Now that's a collection of 45's!"
Steve: "This collection is massive. I miss the big record stores. J&R Music (NY),
Tower Records, HMV. I love the smell of vinyl in the morning. It smells like ... MUSIC.
Doc: "I remember my time spent at Licorice Pizza in So. California and Sunrise Records
in Santa Rosa. I managed one for a short while when I was in high school called Sneaky's
Records. Lot of good memories spending inordinate amounts of time flipping through records."
Steve: "To all the 'Record-flippers' of the world. Let our voices be loud and clear. Demand
the return of our record stores. The excitement of flipping through vinyl and discovering a
classic you somehow managed not to have in your collection. You get home, remove the
plastic around the cover, remove the album from the dust jacket and place it on the
turntable. The needle slowly descends onto the vinyl and sweet sounds surround you."
Doc: "Yeah, I remember the feeling well ...good times."

Mount Roraima is a massive, flat-topped table mountain [tepui] rising 2,810 meters
[9,219 feet] at the tripoint of Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana. It is famous for its
otherworldly rock formations, carnivorous plants, and endemic wildlife, inspiring the
setting for Arthur Conan Doyle's novel "The Lost World". Wiki Page
Fre: "This is interesting and simply breath taking! Flat- topped mtns can be mind
boggling if you think too much, like me, because you expect an apex. I drove across
and stayed on Black Mesa, CO for a week. It was covered with beautiful green pines
and fields of wild flowers that went on forever. The altitude is only 5,500 ft
but when you sit on the edge of it the view reminds you that you are on top of a mtn."

This is the Goupitan Shiplift in Guizhou Province in China and the largest ship lift in the
world. It's a series of 3 lifts that can carry ships weighing 500 tons to a height of 653 feet.

Bluz: "This is cool. Lots of high Hp motors coupled in series with
heavy torque for 500 tons. I bet hydraulics plays into it, too."

This is Japanese solar observer Hisako Koyama (1916-1997) working with a telescope in 1951.
Koyama was a solar scientist who recorded sunspots for over four decades. Her detailed
drawings, numbering over 10,000, helped scientists reconstruct a continuous sunspot
record dating back to 1610. Wiki Page

Doc: "Yep, this is exactly the environment I grew up in ...including the
glossy waxed floor. Even had the square, white, speckle top
kitchen table with the metal band running around the edge."
Ever: "LOL....my parents waxed everything. Varnished the basement stairs
after a renovation. I slipped all the way down those stairs ....twice. Sober, too."
