August 2023 Issue

Just a note that the internet was a real help this month! I’d never before figured out how to have a Word document print its header only on the 1st page. I found a video explaining how the use of a ‘section’ divider (something I’d never even heard of before) would permit each section to have its own header (or no header). So, voila! Here’s the first monthly issue employing that new technique.

May 2023 Issue

I’ve used a different technique for uploading this month, creating scanned image files and then uploading as images.

If this technique proves to be inconvenient to you in some way, please do inform me and I can revert to creating PDF files, as in prior months (save for page 4, which was not created in ‘Word’.)

Gad-Zoox!

(A post from our neighbor on Sailfish, Walt Heinzer)

Driving through Foster City, we keep seeing camera vehicles that look like street mapping that Google deploys.

I was certainly surprised when I searched further and found out that they are Amazon’s self-driving transport vehicles. ZOOX is headquartered in FC.

The test vehicles are very dark.

The actual transport cars look like an amusement park ride vehicle.

The transport vehicle driving habits are somewhat odd.

They tend to very slowly start up from traffic lights, then once at speed very abruptly change from acceleration to constant speed (Digital change)

All the test vehicles have passengers, but I did not realize that there was no driver? Not really sure.
