This morning, I read a couple of e-mails about this week’s Surfin’ and it occurred to me that the very comprehensive “Morse Goes to the Movies” Web site that disappeared off the face of the net many years ago might be available on archive.org.
Sure enough; I went to archive.org and found the “Morse Goes to the Movies” Web site archived on March 9, 2001 here.
This week, Surfin’ finds Amateur Radio in motion pictures and other unexpected places.

Things I don’t see too often around here…
Wednesday evening, after washing the cars, I looked up to see the end of a military jet refueling operation. I say “end” because the two planes flew in refueling formation for about 15 seconds, then the plane behind and below the other plane broke formation and flew off to the northeast. That is the third time I have seen a refueling operation; another time, while visiting my mother in Waterbury, and the first time, while walking The Pies on Beecher Road in Downtown Wolcott.
And speaking of walking The Pies, Thursday morning, I was walking The Pies on Beecher Road and looked up to see a snowy egret fly overhead just above tree level.
…including the fact that Al Gore actually did sort of create the Internet.

I watched an excellent movies on DVD last night, The Bank Job, a true story about a bank “heist gone wrong… in all the right ways.” I was surprised watching the film when ham radio showed up and became a key element in the story.
I don’t want to ruin the story if you have not seen the film, so I will say no more except that I highly recommend it.
This week, Surfin’ picks up where it left off last week with more hamming at the theme parks. After you read that, come back here to post your comments, if any.
