Greetings from the DEMA convention in New Orleans
« on: November 05, 2026, 11:55:16 PM »
Dear WeatherCatters who find the older we get the busier we become,

31 years ago to be exact, I wrote a PhD that considered scuba diving as an interesting place to study processes of learning.  Alas, that work didn't land be an academic post and I was forced to shift to programming to make a living.  Now I have time to revisit the topic and I was encouraged to attend the Scuba Diving Equipment Manufacturing Association conference in New Orleans.  The last time I attended this conference was before I had finished my PhD!!  Still it didn't take long to feel at home once more:



I'll spare you the technical details in part because it didn't lend itself to photography.  However I have a photo of one of the famous stern-wheeler riverboats:



Finally, I have a photo of one of the equally famous streetcars immortalized in the play: "A streetcar named desire."



Enjoy!

Edouard
