Hello !

Woohoo!!! - I'm one read away from my goal of 100 books for 2022!

Book #99 was this fascinating look at the history and geopolitical importance of the computer chip industry. The audiobook just came out in October and it's a timely read.

Four stars.

“Mirage, as witnessed from balloon heights, is far more grand and imposing than as seen from the earth or water.…A city or village on the earth becomes a city or village in the upper air, sometimes doubled ; one erect, the other upside down”
(from the incredible THROUGH THE AIR, by John Wise, 1873, archive.org/details/throughair)

Hi. New here and trying to figure things out .

Born and raised in Germany, I’ve been living in the Seattle area in the US for 25 years. I’m retired and live out of a small travel trailer about nine months of the year, usually in search of something to climb.
