SATI (The Search for Any Terrestrial Intelligence) Re-ReDo

As I wrote in my blog back at the end of January, I thought I should go with an Appalachian Mountain Cargo Cult vibe for SATI (see Jan. 29th blog post) Looking back at it from the lofty perspective of June 8, 2022 (on a beautiful Appalachian Mountain day), I find that even I am offended by the idea. After all, I am an Appalachian Mountain resident.

Also, Susan (my wife and collaborator) really didn’t like the feet. After looking at it for several months (husbands are just slow) I realized I didn’t like them either.

So… Out goes the Appalachian Mountain Cargo Cult vibe. In comes the Steam Punk vibe. New Neo-industrial feet. I am presently taking a really old corn huller to recover the external and internal gears. I am planning to use the bottom shelf of an old large kitchen serving cart to add a riff on the feet to the back of the dish area. We will see.
