This Day in History
  UNIVAC Computer Delivered to the US Census Bureau (1951)By 1870, the US population was so large that hand-counting the census was no longer feasible. Despite the invention of a counting machine, by the time the 1880 census was tabulated, it was almost 1890. Dealing with so much data remained a problem until the late 1940s, when the Census Bureau commissioned the first civilian computer. In 1951, it was used to count part of the 1950 census and was so successful that the bureau bought another. What presidential election did UNIVAC correctly predict? More... Discuss |

Love the Moody Blues. Some very trippy song writing in their earlier years. Thanks for the video link Mike.
I think I've posted this in here before, but....when I went to college, I of course knew who they were, but my second semester roomie was a HUGE music fan and particularly of the Moody Blues. Many nights we came back absolutely toasted and would put on a MB album and drift off to sleep with the one side playing over and over through the (usually short) night.
Like I said, I was familiar w/ their hits that were on the radio, but thanks to my roommate, I discovered many, many tunes that were seldom played. I think I now have all their music...am gonna check first chance I get and if I don't, then I'm gonna get the rest.
When I hear this song, it reminds me of stopping on a dark deserted road late one night; my car was overheating a little bit and I stopped to let it cool off before putting some water in the radiator. I had left the tape deck on and was standing out in the middle of the road, not a sound except for this song and no lights except for the power on the stereo, the new moon being completely blocked out by clouds, was nearly as dark as a cave. I don't know why, but I got spooked and started up the car and got out of there.
Thanks f/ posting!
