PLO

In a control room. A panel of switches and buttons operates a holographic projection screen. A yellow sphere with lines of latitude and longitude is being projected. It rotates like the Death Star. The control panel can be used to select sections of the surface of the sphere that light up as gold strips bordered by lines of constant latitude and longitude. The strips are much narrower in latitude like the set-up for a standard surface area integration. The selected regions are related to probability calculations in pot limit Omaha. Above me a woman stands on a gantry like those inside large telescope domes. I explain to her what I am doing. As the ball rotates I sometimes feel euphoric.
