Only where people are into heating their attics!  Heat *rises*, Natalie -
this whole thing started out as a discussion of heating methods and the
relative inefficiencies thereof.  Ceiling heat vents have to be the lamest
thing going when it comes to that, except that down South, they must like
doing that.  Saves putting in two sets of ductwork, I guess.  Up here, 
central air is an afterthought, if it's put in at all.

And yet there are, on this very keyboard, keys called F1, F2, F3 and F4,
sitting in perfect harmony with keys labelled PF1, PF2, PF3, and PF4.
What is the reason for this deep mystery? If I may venture to answer
Natalie's original question, the PF keys are PF keys and they differ
from the F keys in that they have a strikingly different emblem painted
on them. As to what they mean, what indeed do any symbols mean? It's
we who give them meanings. Just as we map keyboards.

Oh, no!  I love bagpipe music, and if I thought there were any chance of

When we lived in Brookline, Mass, 20+ years ago, in the apartment comlex

And in Pennsylvania, once a year we could go to the Scottish Games
and hear bagpipe competitions.  (Not to mention see caber-tossing:
something not to be believed on hearsay!)  

I can see where it might get 'old' if one heard it all the time, but
for me it's still magic.

	Well, you'll nevah heah that from someone with a Boston

"warter" instead of "water."  Anyways, my accent drove them crazy as

Yes!  I'm convinced that's right.  There's a chance I have it on a Kingston

My husband and I are seriously considering coming to this...there's
substantially more chance we'll be there if it doesn't get any farther
away than Starkville...he just said Starkville was about the outside limit
of how far we could go and get back in time (we'd be driving).  So I think
I'd vote:
1.      New Orleans
2.      Natchez
3.      Vicksburg
4.      Starkville
5.      or what about Gulfport/Biloxi?
Surely there would be a park in New Orleans/Natchez/Vicksburg for the
croning site?  Too, those locations might solve the problems of air
travel, accommodations, and non-croning activities.

The house next door in my growing-up-home-town had one.  One day in
1949, I think it was, my brother came running in screaming that a
storm was coming.  I went outside and saw the perfect funnel cloud
just outside of town, where it stayed for about thirty minutes, then
vanished into the cloud.  The people in town responded by lining the
main street, watching it and waiting.  The local photographer took
a picture of the street, with the people watching, the funnel cloud
perfectly framed at the end of the street.  He sold it to Life
Magazine, and it was the full page Picture of the Week.  My town's
principal claim to fame (second only to being the birthplace and
home town of Jeannie C. Riley, of Harper Valley P.T.A. fame and the
birthplace and home town of Dr. Giggles)
