Staying alive


In case you haven’t seen it, the LA Times has an article, A final say? They hope not, that describes the efforts to describe and revitalize Washo, a severely endangered California Indian language. A nice story (and very cool for Alan to have his picture in the [online version of the] paper).

A side-note: check out the photo of Alan facing Ramona. On the shelf in the background there’s a crank-style pencil sharpener. Anyone else think there might have been a better place to install it?

    Klinton: don’t know, I’ve never actually been to wherever that was - around Lake Tahoe or something.

    The Ridger: a-yup.

    Though, a co-worker suggests that the perspective of the camera may make the two bookshelves appear closer than they are.
