Or like Portland Oregon with the frog protester at the ICE facility. "We will subject you to improv theater for weeks on end!"

Saturday Night Live used to do this with their studio audience in the 1970s.The captions were silly but could have been considered insulting sometimes.

That is most of how I learned how computers worked when I was a teenager. I had no other resources of this quality, not even access to a computer most of the time.

Strangely, I don't get much nostalgia from this. The situation kind of sucked.

They brought a gnomon, with a color chart, on the Apollo missions. They would set it up for many of the pictures of samples.

There are several parking structures called "parkades" in Salem Oregon.

My school library ( 6th - 8th grades ) had this magazine, and they had a 9-week class on programming in BASIC using a 110 bps teletype connected to an HP2000C that was shared by several school districts. That was my start in all of this. I didn't get my own computer until the C64 price dropped to $200 in 1983.

The only thing I ever bought from Toys R Us is a ROM cartridge for the C64 with an assembler and debugger. This must have been it: https://www.cbmstuff.com/downloads/hesmon64.pdf

There are many local, and not-so-local, groups that do this volunteer trail maintenance, and they could definitely use some monetary donations. There is the PCTA, mentioned up-thread ( pcta.org ). I volunteer for Trailkeepers of Oregon, based in Portland, and is active in many parts of the state. trailkeepersoforegon.org . There is also the Washington trails Association, and many more.
