Pictures I like

[Karl Henning]

I always found that a pencil worked better than a pen.

Yes, the angles of the hexagon catch better.

Spoiler Alert

Using the pen to advance/rewind the tape

I used to use a pencil to take up the tape slack.

More like it, yes.  Good morning, George!

You have to write on the cassette tape its content?
(making mixed tapes were so much fun...)
Or that they are "obsolete"?...

Oh, the answer is supposed to be that you wind up the tape when it unwinded... but I used my finger.

I did too, when I didn't have a pencil handy.

Yeah same here.  For simple rewinding, the machine suffices.  The pencil is for when the tape spools out or goes slack so you can wind it back in.

I quickly learned to carry my tapes in their cases, as the teeth inside prevented the tape slack from occurring.

When it happened for me it was always during playback.  But that was probably because I always kept them in their cases too.

I'm no Monk . . . but my heart sank whenever I would see loose cassette tapes strewn around a floor or (worse) a car interior.

Yeah, right? Even worse when people do that with CDs, as they are more likely to get damaged.

Indeed. Used my finger, too, like Greg.

ARCTIC MIX: Something magical is happening around the Arctic Circle this week. The blue midnight skies of spring are intermingling with the gray snow clouds of winter--with a dash of green cutting through the mix. Anne Birgitte Fyhn photographed the phenomenon last night from Ringvassøya island, north of Tromsø, Norway:



Fyhn was on an overnight kayaking trip with friends. "This is how the sky looked just before the weather turned cloudy and a snow storm started," she says.

The midnight sun was also present. "It's just amazing to see auroras dancing across blue sky with the glow of the sun on the horizon," says fellow kayaker Gunnar Hildonen. Altogether, the ensemble was a nice surprise, adds Harald Albrigtsen, who was there, too.

She never ceases to surprise and amaze us!
