mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06I think of myself as an old hillbilly hippie. I've had several careers: Physics, personal counseling, computer science/software development. Unix/Linux.
Now I'm an old retired guy. I read a LOT. I think of myself as a liberal progressive politically. Some people know me as KB6QL.
I love the Grateful Dead. I love Gracie Slick. I also love the work of Johann Sebastian Bach. I have loved their work for more than 50 years. Oxford comma. Born at 310ppm CO2.

‘You are the machine that kills hate’: Woody Guthrie’s protest anthems strike a chord with a new generation
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/apr/30/woody-guthrie-exhibit
Woody Guthrie is one of those people that I have wished our lives could have overlapped.
I start to read a book and begin to have little feelings of vague familiarity as I read. I don't remember reading it but somehow it comes across as a warm familiar friend that will lead me somewhere and I will enjoy it.
Old friend books are wonderful.
