Isn't that an abacus?

Wow, I've never seen anything like those.
My boss and I just check eBay - I guess they go for about $400-$600.

I read about those in Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. Neat little things.
I'm happily home on my day off, and right now I'm going to pick up my dog from my sister's house, take a long walk, go to UPS to get a package, and hopefully do some writing. Writing would be good.
There's also some new movies out, as well. And I might go to the climbing gym tomorrow.
Helicopter flight was a success: I got to sit in the copilot's seat. What I learned: helicopters are really frelling loud and there's no graceful way to get in and out of them. I had to wear a survival suit over my clothes, and I'm so glad it fit! Pity about the view, though: it was mostly grey and overcast, so we didn't see as much awesome scenery as I would have liked. But the guys were awesome, and I'd love to go again some time.
I have to file extensions for both S and I. Taxes are not going to happen by Tuesday.
