As I suspected, I could not let go of this. I did some more research on the subject of my
previous post about this. Then I made a slightly different change to the keyboard section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
After too-long a hiatus, I am finally doing something resembling exercise again. Both Monday and today I went out for walks on the downtown Minneapolis skyway system, going from Government Center to the Hyatt Regency on Nicollet Mall and back again. I think it is about two miles on the map, but the twists and turns of the Skyway must lengthen it considerably. I need to get a better measure of the distance I actually cover.

I recently saw this picture of a blackboard:
It was the blackboard of Richard Feynman, at the time of his death in 1988. On the upper right side there is a list of subjects, with the heading “To Learn”.
Richard Feynman was an inspiration to me as a young physics student long ago. He still is.
My annotated Gaeileoirí is now current, although it is a long way from being a full translation.
