Utility

This topic is available for temporary data transfer between different networks.

For example, if a NewMars member is at the library and wants to record a small amount of data for use later at home, this topic is available for a post to hold that data.

The post should be reset to "empty" after use. Please note that this does not mean the post should be deleted.

Please do not do that. It will create a pothole that will show up in the Pothole Report.  Instead, just clear all data from the post except for the word "empty".  This will reduce the burden of data storage provided by the Mars Society.

This topic is intended for temporary data storage for the convenience of members.

Typee Island (A Different Perspective)

Received 2025/09/13
This viewing: 2026/01/05

Note:
Steve Carr 1949
Doc's Bar 1948

Overall impression: This book would surely be valued and appreciated by someone who had visited Tybee Island as at any age

At the same time, it can be valued and appreciated by anyone who has memories of visiting the ocean shore, anywhere in the world.

The flow is so natural, it took me a while to appreciate it.  From the opening scene of the light house, through the charming hostess at the Rock House Original Bar & Grill, this was a pleasure to experience.

I've been thinking about how to properly honor this book since the day it arrived.

In the community where I live, I advertised for anyone who might be interested in seeing a book about Typee Island or Georgia, and while I did turn up a resident from North Carolina, most folks here are from the Northern latitudes.

I wonder if a video/slide show might work in this environment.
