I am cleaning out the various cameras here. I put some of them on a Picasa album here:
Some interesting pictures —
When Larry and I went to see Cadillac Records, we got there a little early. Larry spent the time annoying some nice girls trying to sell bath salts and other smelly things. They worked hard flirting with Larry and trying to sell him something. Of course, he didn’t spend any money and when we went by later one of them gave him the finger.
There is a mouse at work that leaves me little presents every night.
Furry in the snow showers that we had around Thanksgiving.
The usual suspects at work. This is our Christmas lunch. Programming attracts a variety of cultures.
There are a bunch of arty pictures of the backyard in the collection.
Here is a Battenfeld tree farm picture.

Nice pics.
a good looking group of workers —
how is Koch doing?
Koch was banged up pretty badly. He broke a few ribs and two vertebra. He is wearing a cage to hold his head steady and they put a pin in his back.
Last week they transferred him to the Burke rehab center. I think he will need a lot of work to get back even again.
Koch is older, in his early 60s. He is short and round and he had uncontrolled diabetes when he went into the hospital. They had to delay one of the operations because they wanted to get his stats down to improve his chances.
Some of the staff went to see him, but he was on pain medication and mostly out of it. I hope to go along the next time they go to visit. I am not an employee, just a contractor, so I don’t usually get invited on things like this.
I worked with Koch on his PHD thesis. He had an interesting idea that low traffic bus routes could be run like a taxi service with a call service and a cool computer algorithm that would send buses to various stops in the most efficient way. It would save on buses and improve service. Westchester county is working on a pilot version.
