Why Is A power Button Symbol A Zero With A One Stuck In It?:
"For a CMOS gate operating at a power supply voltage of 5 volts, the acceptable input signal voltages range from0 volts to 1.5 volts for a “low” logic state, and 3.5 volts to 5 volts for a “high” logic state."
HIGH = 1 = ON
LOW = 0 = OFF
Binary 1 = +3.5 - +5 VDC = ON
Binary 0 = 0 VDC - + 1.5 VDC = OFF

If you were to read the voltages in a memory chip address, there would be a series of 1's & 0's, with the 1's represented by a voltage of +3.5 to +5 volts, and the zeroes represented by a voltage of 0 to + 1.5 Volts. You would need a REALLY tiny voltmeter probe, but that's what would be in the chip.
Ones are ON, zeroes are OFF.
Now look at the symbol on your power button. You have the choice of ON or OFF. One or Zero.

The Great Book Of Blizzard:
Preface to "The Great Book Of Blizzard":
The Poetry that is contained in these pages is the result of a lifetime spent mostly in places with real Winter; The Great Lakes for the most part, yet also the Great Plains, the Rockies of Colorado, and even mid-North Texas and Northern New Mexico.
In the face of Climate Change, I wanted to save and preserve what it was like to live in these places in the era of actual Winters.
Many of these poems are what I like to call “Poetic Memoir,” and are based on real events in my life. Some are simply fantasy based on a lifetime of experience with snow and Winter...real Winters.
Although I have lived in Southern California for four years as of the completion of this compilation in 2018, never forget that I am a native of Wisconsin who spent fifty years in the Midle West of these United States of America. My family still lives there, and lives with snow.
For those of you who find snowy Winters a novelty, or know it not at all, I hope this book can give you a deeper understanding of what it was like.
What so many forget is that almost everything in nature needs a period of rest and renewal before the busy regrowth of Springtime. Even humanity needs – and mostly neglects – quiet time to turn inward, reflect, and recharge.
Thank you for reading.
With love and light,
Daniel A. Stafford
