I have 2 MC Escher prints that once belonged to my Dad who is a mathematician and statistician, hanging in my living room. I love them. Along with my recorded music imagery of Victor, and of course a print on canvas of the Scream by Edvard Munch. I have numerous canvas prints of Van Gogh hanging upstairs in my condo. I love all types of artwork but I love when people discuss the Escher prints upon first seeing them in my house. I love tidbits about it. I also love your fascination with space weather. That rocks my socks too and I'm always learning more and more from your newsletter. Grateful I read it tonight! Was going to save it for the morning but read it now and as always-- you made me smile. Thanks. 😊❤️ right now I could use all the smiles to go around and this didn't fail to do that. ❤️
The book of JOB caught me because I'm reading a book at the moment that involves references to the biblical book of Job. But then I googled and discovered the beautiful art nouveau artwork of JOB rolling papers!
I've always loved Escher and how he used optical illusions to point at existential questions of life. Thanks for the great newsletter!
Oh, man. Somehow I managed to completely miss the existence of TIME TUNNEL (including that it's what Austin Powers was spoofing) and now I feel like I need to see this show. Irwin Allen! His name was on EVERYTHING in the 1970s!
I'm sure some of The Time Tunnel isn't going to hold up well to modern audiences, but it did pave the way for later shows. It also has some iconic elements (the underground, secret lab and the Tunnel itself)... and I didn't even mention the theme music was by a young upstart called John Williams!
This was on repeat in my era so it had an air of nostalgia about it when I saw some episodes.
60s TV really brought an influx of cool outfits, weird gadgets and strange possibilities into the public consciousness.
I mean, Star Trek was on TV, and they produced one of the best time travel episodes of that era: 'The City on the Edge of Forever', written by Harlan Ellison, and broadcast in 1967.

Thanks, Laura! I wish you more smiles today. 😄
Which Escher prints do you own? What a beautiful memento of your Dad.

Thanks, March! Yes, that JOB is a fun detail. Both functional and symbolic, I like to think. 😄
