Every Wave That Comes

Every Wave That Comes
The old Sugarloaf song, Green Eyed Lady, was apparently about a boat, or more accurately, the bow figurehead of a boat. There'd often be a mermaid carving. Sometimes a noble warrior. Perhaps the fellow who wrote the song saw a mermaid carving with green eyes and took it from there, soothing every single wave that comes... although, that song was largely instrumental now that I think of it. I like the pun in the last line, setting sons and ... suns vs. a well known D.H.Lawrence book...

AST vs. Quadram ... portables the size of a suitcase ... 640k ... dBASE II+ (plus what?) ... the only constant is change.

Taken Over

Taken Over
Was watching The World of Suzie Wong. Interesting shots of 1960 Hong Kong, and takes on the conventions of the day. Spicy then, I imagine, mostly a curiosity today IMHO. Old joke,
