[rescue] IBM RS/6K 40P?

[wrmartin at verizon.net]

This is more than a bit OT, but I feel compelled to ask:

The quote in your signature - I'm just a dumb retired engineer, so I don't do poetry well.  I thought I followed that quote until I got to the unfurled flag.  I was getting images of a winter night, with snow on the ground, and lots of silver blue/gray and black silhouettes of leafless trees and such.  Then came the flag.  Are we in a military burial ground on a winter night?  Elucidation, please.
