Here's the clues for today's Scavenger Hunt 2023.
Zoom scavenger hunt January 2023
It's September, that time of year when we remember how to use some of that once-a-year technology. Now there are more and more options for paying for things these days, and we're doing our best to allow as many as we can. Log in to the web page for details about each.

We didn't call Houston, but it was close. Something got corrupted in the database and we had to restore the backup from 3 Sep. That means we are running without changes that were made from 4 -Sep (Sunday) until the restore on 8-Sep (Thursday).
Please be patient as we check out the restored site and recover data; if you see something critical, let Phill know and we can get it fixed more quickly.
I'll be watching the newsletter next week like a hawk.
Jane was a long time and long serving member of the U.S.S. Nokomis and a host of other fan and service organizations. No formal funeral has yet been announced; Jane's remains will find their rest at Resurrection Cemetery, 2105 Lexington Avenue South, Mendota Heights, MN 55120 at 11:00 AM on 27 August 2022. Members and friends are humbly invited to attend.
Our own memorial services to celebrate Jane's life are in the works for later in the fall.
Last week I said something about a backyard movie night in August - and I was wrong. A lot of things stacked up in the summer this year, and we couldn't find a date to host it. Well, not 'we', apparently everyone but Phill. Sorry to get your hopes up, but we won't be having a movie night this summer.
I beg your pardon. Please pick an excuse for me from the list below, and I will try not to do it again.
Sorry - Phill
Paramount+ announced that season three of its hit original half-hour animated comedy series Star Trek: Lower Decks will premiere on Thursday, August 25, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. Following the premiere, the remaining nine episodes of the 10-episode long season will be available to stream weekly on Thursdays.

The 37th Anniversary Picnic takes place this Saturday the 11th at Noon. We've booked the West Bush Lake Park Shelter 1, the two-roofed shelter in the woods in West Bush Lake Park, Bloomington.
We have the shelter from 11AM to 4PM, along with access to grills and the bathrooms. As of now the weather forecast is quite good, no difficulties.
Phill has electronics good to go for background music and Zoom-ing the meeting. We have a large bag of charcoal for grills for you to cook whatever grillable or roastable goodies you bring. Halloween style treats (packaged) are ok to bring and share, but not yet homemade treats out of an abundance of caution. Drinking is ok if we avoid D&D (drunk and OK disorderly). Sorry, No bouncy Galileo or Inflatable Trelane's Castle.
Speaking of Zoom, we'll have the meeting up and running a little ahead of time and keep it up until there's nobody on. If you're at the meeting in person, stop by the Zoom PC to say hi to those who can't make it this time.
Have you been collecting Hallmark's Keepsake ornaments since 1991? Did you have to buy another tree to hold them all? Fear not, we were not left in the cold this year. Hallmark and Paramount waited until after the premiere of Strange New Worlds to announce this year's starship. It's Chris Pike's Enterprise.
The ship is a little over 3" long, and the bridge, nacelles, and lights work. There is no connection to tree lights or power.
The ornament will be available October 8th. For full details, click through to Hallmark's Ornament Page
When someone says "Get A Life", consider this:
We've watched at least 39,000 minutes of Star Trek (not counting repeats).
Yes, the October Hallmark Premiere Day includes the La Sirena from Star Trek Picard.
Warp to the year 2399 with this Christmas tree ornament featuring La Sirena, the non-Federation cargo freighter hired by Jean-Luc Picard and owned by former Starfleet Commander Cristóbal Ríos. The highly detailed decoration plays audio of some of Picard's quotes from "Star Trek: Picard" (battery-operated). Engage!
Buy a dozen and a very large orchid and re-enact the ultimate fight scene.
