Reflections "76" -- A Book Review

Reflections "76" is a slim paperback La Honda Elementary School yearbook. The pages were obviously cut and pasted with captioning done by typewriter before being sent to the School Annual Publishing Company in Kansas City MO. This was a labor of love produced in 1976 without the aid of computers.

  

In that red white and blue Bicentennial year, Jimmy Carter was elected President, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (the movie) garnered five academy awards and the Academy of Sciences determined that gases from spray cans could damage the earth's ozone layer. None of this was mentioned in Reflections "76", however.

New Cable Company for La Honda

The La Honda Chamber of Commerce says a to-be-named cable TV company will help facilitate “moderate” competition in a new landscape of “network convergence (NC).”

An unnamed official from one of the town watering holes is quoted as saying the new company, expected to be a holding entity, is a another step to “explore” convergence that suits La Honda, to “speed up” transformation of the community's admitedly "country" telecom, broadcasting and Internet networks. The other intention is to put a community entity in control to prevent unruly competition.

Workers have already begun the task of installing the infrastructure, reported to consist of downed redwood trees and recycled telephone cable.

Redwoods and Wires

 

We live in a forest, but we're wired. This is Highway 84 taken in front of Apple Jack's.
