About Dave Oney

Dave Oney was born mid last century in Middlebury, Vermont. He received his BS in Chemistry and worked as a polymer chemist in Massachusetts and New Jersey. He became a microscopist (someone who studies little bitty things using a microscope) and photomicrographer (someone who photographs little bitty things) before settling into a 35-year career in technical sales of scientific imaging equipment (the science of digitally recording itty bitty things, sending the image to a computer for analysis.) He designed and created a number of products contributing to this field. He is (was) proficient in several computer languages and is currently working on mastering English. After making a few more paradigm shift career changes Dave and his wife, Fran, retired and moved closer to their children and granddaughters and now live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.

HI, Again

Dawn comes late in Hawaii—especially when you are still on Sacramento time. Luckily for me, I am an earlier riser, a very early riser. I only had to wait 2 hours before the sun began to rise.

It was well worth the wait. From the earliest light to the sun peeking over the ocean (at least I assume it did, the clouds hung right on the horizon,) required me to sit and watch the “action” for over a half an hour!! Oh, the sacrifices.

Same tree, same sand, same ocean, different time of the day.

Join me and sit for 15 seconds. It’s a great way to start the day!
