Path Integral Across A Temporal Logic Space

So here is my question for today (sort of tongue in cheek): Can we combine this post about path integrals with this post about temporal logic. These two posts hit me with particular force because I just recently finished reading this novel that has as a major plot device the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.

Forth Bike Ride

Rails To Trails has a bike path in the Triangle area named The American Tobacco Trail.  This morning we rode the entire Wake County section.  It was about 6.5 miles long and ended at the Chatham County line where it is still being constructed.  Here is a video of our return ride back toward the trail head near New Hill NC.

Third Bike Ride Of The Season

After doing some work around the yard Evelyn and I decided to ride along the stretch of the Green Way that is closest to our home.   To get to this stretch is very easy we go to the corner of our block turn right ride about 3 blocks to the rim of the valley of Crabtree Creek and down into the valley, across the creek and then either left or right to a hundred yards or so to a Green Way entrance.  If we travel to the far end then back to the near end then back to our starting place the entire trip is about 10 miles.  However, once back on the streets it is up out of the valley of Crabtree Creek and that climb at the end of a 10 mile ride can be daunting.  To get a feeling of just how steep it is if you just coast down into the valley you will be going over 30mph at the fastest.  The only other ways to get to the Green Way that travels along either CrabTree Creek or LeadMine Creek involve hills tool.  So, we loaded up the bikes on top of the car and drove to a parking lot that lots of cyclist who I suppose live further away from the Green Way than we do frequent.  Once there we got in a nice 10 mile totally flat ride.  Here is link to a web page that gives the track along the creek.  Sadly I've not been able to get the page to work in any browser other than IE.

Windows Live Translation Service

According to the bits I've been reading a translation service can be had by inserting a simple bit of HTML code into a web page. Such code can be characterized by calling it a 'widget'. What the user can do is click on the control presented by the 'widget' and the operation that the widget exposes is executed. Just below this sentence is the embedded html code that is supposed to expose the 'widget'. Give it a try.

A Trip To CA

What a grand trip.  I left this morning from RDU at 6:15am after waking up at 4:30am.  CA time that would have been 1:30am --- It makes for a long day but I'm not even tired given this is a welcome vacation.   Here is a link to some pictures I snapped with my cell phone on the way out.
