Depends on where you are.  The Northwest and some parts south of here are
supposed to see temperatures well above normal for the next two-three year.
The eascoast, especially the Northeast is supposed to be cooler than usual, as
is much of the South.  I don't remember about the Midwest, some parts of the
country were supposed to carry on as usual.

Well, I guess I didn't realize that Elaine was *trying* to be a
bimbo.  I still don't see it--she's too responsible!:)  About the
missed dinner, Dan, that might make her a bimbo if a) she did that
often or b) it was a fling, but neither are the case.

Nope. Elaine is *still* The Model of Catholic Womanhood for me.:)))

damn, I should have *known* you'd bring that up Dan ...!

However, since I am (in between the times that I think I've gone
totally lunatic) pleased to announce that the individual who kept me
from making the San Francisco Words-l dinner and I are about to set
up housekeeping, and even my mother approves, I beg off, yet once
more, on the bimbo label.

Meanwhile, would anybody along route 74 and other likely roads between
San Francisco and Providence like some traveling words-l company the

Not at all, Dan, you miss the point almost entirely.  There is a
certain elegance in not distinguishing freshman, sophomore, junior,
senior, but have ONE form,  X-year student.  Elegance, simplicity.

Also, this takes into account the trend that fewer students are
graduating in 4 years; many of ours are in 5 yr. programs.  Also,
many students come in w/ enough credits to be sophomores their
second year; but it is still their first year, so they have
a first-year student's experiences and outlook.

abh ....lot of common sense there...but no discussion.  A year ago, a small

years ago.  Reflecting upon that event, and several recent events - concerning
babies abandoned in trash bins, etc., some live, some not - makes it
difficult to think logically about abortion ...sad that a young girl must
seek an abortion to hide their "sin" from the wrath of parents...or just

I might have said "on the weekend" but not "at the weekend."  More likely
I would say "this weekend" or "last weekend."

I also thought "standing on line" was British.

I forgot to say in my last posting that Nancy was obviously a very good
mother, warning her young daughter to avoid Yankeeisms.  Parental "correction"
of children's speech is futile in many cases.  Attaching the dreaded work
"Yankee," however, would surely catch the attention and the fear of a child.

Just in case anyone was counting ...I said I had lost 5 members...I

he was painting a house.  But he didn't die right away.  The fall broke
his neck ...he lived for six more months in a body he no longer had
control over.  He could hear, see, understand, but not talk, or
communicate ....he would mouth words ....at first rapidly, but we
could not understand what he was trying to tell us.....later slowly,
his request ....I want to go home.  He eventually did...but his
suffering, and his mostly lonely life ended...he was an only child,
mother died when quite young, and was raised in the wilderness ...he
never did become a social person..we never had company, and his father,
although living only 2 miles away, never visited our home...very sad.

Well, yes, but most of us at AT&T use the Korn shell (/bin/ksh) instead
of the csh, as ksh was Invented Here, while csh was invented At Berkeley.
Also, for those of us who are vi-literate, the command-line editor in

I thought it was the breadboard, not the bread.  Or rather a particular
style of wooden plate.

Lawschools solve the problem--if problem it is--with 1L, 2L, and 3L.
No mess.  No fuss.

Be happy.

It was in the post about all Mr. Substantial had read that the
first offending comment about WORDS-L appeared.  The reponse
about rubbishy lists came directly in answer to that post.  I
agree that the shoe *doesn't* in fact fit.  The reference *was*
demonstrably to WORDS-L--else it would have been a non-sequitur.
Absolutely, positively, unconditionally my last word on the
subject.  It ain't that interesting--I think *everybody* agrees.
I even lost interest myself in flaming off to Alaska and melting
some glacier.

who feels totally misunderstood today, is never going to mix
lists again, and who, probably to the relief of most, is going to
go into lurk-mode in the ongoing battle against entropy and its
agents.  And I think it's going to be a *long* lurk.

After today in the office, talking to 75 students about what class
to take, I am a famous dead person.  I am sure of it.
