John:

Your story of the Hollerith card is absolutely beautiful; the core of fractal beauty and strange attraction emerging from apparent chaos. Thanks for the grin--a true Zen moment which only the 60's could produce. LOL!!

A poem from that era, on which I pondered (under some arcane neural stimulat or other) a similar number of hours, concerning anthropos apteros, Man without wings:

Anthropos apteros, perplexed,
To know which way to wander next,
Looked up! And saw, above,
A bird
(To whom such doubts must seem absurd).

Thanks again,


A
