Antikythera Mechanism

I clicked on today's Google Doodle first thing this morning. Hold on! I know next to nothing about 2000 year-old analogue computers but I know of Antikythera. It's an island south of Kythera in the southern Peloponnese of Greece. MrQ and I have sailed the beautiful but unpredictable waters in the area. I remember the lovely sand lilies on the beaches. It turns out that the Antikythera Mechanism was found in a shipwreck off the island.

It has been raining all day and I was stumped for a blip so decided to recreate the AM. I've used an old valve on a pic of a cabbage with some dirt dusted around. :)

Today's poem is Why Brownlee left by Paul Muldoon. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/57869

I found it interesting that the poem was inspired by the manufacturer's name on a bathroom door at PM's place of work. He could see a brown ploughed lee or field. 

Working a small farm might seem to outsiders to be a recipe for contentment. Just as likely Brownlee topped himself. A farmer is three times more likely than the average person to take his own life. Muldoon, like many others from Ireland, left and went to America.
