A “fun” talk • I gave this talk at a graduate students & faculty

mixer lunch we had in the EE dept. sometime in 2000.

• Rough outline– A Mets outing– An intro to US National Parks – Namibia’s Skeleton Coast – a must-see!– Crossection of NY City Underground – I think this led

me into a little speech extolling the opportunities in this great city

– Fall in Atlantic Highlands, NJ!

The SKELETON COAST of NAMIBIA...one of the world's most treacherous and barren shorelines, the product of dense coastal fogs and cold sea breezes caused by the icy Benquela Ocean Current. Scores of ships and mariners have mettheir end here fostering its aura of mystery and impenetrability.

Sand dunes in the Namib desert - are ashigh as 300m!
