Not to reveal my age or anything, but this image reminded me of keypunch cards from FORTRAN class in college. It’s not a happy memory, but I like the photo anyway…!

I remember fellow college students walking around with a bundle of keypunch cards held together with rubber bands, so I see the similarity, too. I never learned Fortran myself, however.Glad you like the photo, Melinda!

I took Fortran too! Don’t ask me to write anything in it today, though.

Amazing photo! The people look like little ants in the windows, so tiny. Fascination to see just a little portion.

Thanks, Jane. My first view of the ship was at night, when it was lit up by spotlights. It was an illustration of the word “looming” (but in a good way). So dramatic, so huge, so beautiful. I imagined Fred Astaire dancing out to greet us. Later, touring the boat, I learned that Fred Astaire did travel on the Queen Mary, but may not have danced aboard.

Kinda cool how randomness and regularity go together so well at times.
