We don't have it any better in the East Bay.  Cable Oakland, those buttheads,
were requested to place their wires underground along Grand Avenue between 
MacArthur and Oakland.  They called all of the property owners along 
Grand and asked them whether they would pay the (quote) $100,000 it would
cost to bury the wires for four blocks.   Of course, 95 % or so of the
property there is rental, so the owners never use the cable service there.
They said "no", so Cable Oakland ripped the cables off of 4 blocks of
Grand.  Unfortunately, this section of Grand is a real RF hole, as there
is a hill blocking us from Sutro tower.  Now, there is no cable and
almost no TV.  Cable Oakland was very unhelpful when I complained to them,
and so was the Oakland City Council.  If there was ever a good site for
a local satellite feed co-op, it's upper Grand.  
	Just to rub salt in the wound, last month Cable Oakland put up a
huge billboard right in the middle of our block which basically said
"We're here when you need us!".  Fortunately they took it down before
I had a chance to deface it.

The Art/Wine/Food/Festival posting is in winter hibernation.  It will
awaken when the spring craft season is about to start.  For those folks
who wish to join the craft fair circuit, I would suggest one of several
courses of action:
1) contact one or more craft fair promoters.  Most craft fairs are judged,
   i.e. they don't just let anybody participate that wants to.  Some shows
   are judged more critically than others.  The only promoter that I can
   find in my files is
     terry pimsleur & co.
     2155 Union Street
     San Francisco, CA  94123
     (415) 346-4446
2) contact one or more touring craftspeople.  This is an invaluable
   source of information.  You'll learn which fairs to attend and which
   to avoid.  You'll learn about the promoters.  You'll learn all the
   rules.  If you are serious about being a touring craftsperson, send
   me some e-mail and I'll hook you up with some established folks.

DISCLAIMER FOLLOWS
I am not, have never been, and do not plan on being associated with any
art, wine, food, or craft festival or promoter.  I am simply someone who
likes to attend these festivals.  By attending 15-20 festivals a year, I
get a chance to build rapport with the artist I see every week.  I talk to
them, and find out how the fair system works.  It is a tough business.
It is thus for several reasons that I provide the craft fair schedule,
I provide it for both the producers and the consumers.  (Of course, I also
provide it for me so I don't miss anything!).

One last thing, nearly half of my Christmas shopping was done at the craft
fairs.  It sure is nice when your Christmas shopping is done by June :-)

I've fantasized about setting up my own cable company - probably non-profit
along the lines of the old Berkeley CO-OP. You could start with just a
dish and lay cable out from wherever you start from as you get subscribers,
maybe even say to-hell-with-the-regulators and do a guerilla cable company.

In a similar vein it dawn on me recently that in Berkeley you could set up
your own phone company - just pop a box on a hill and using a combination of
cell-phone technology and millimeter microwave technology (after all all the
stations are fixed and can just have a little dish) - this works great in a
place like Berkeley where almost the whole town is visible from the hill above
it. Of course it would ALL be digital.

Of course you can combine the two systems - snarf a lot of bandwidth, maybe
500MHz and do both. Or combine them in another way - use fiber to deliver one
end of the signal (phone and video) and cell-phone to talk back.

I think it's a great idea - now's the time - but then again I don't want
a couple of the biggest companies around (with LOTs of lawyers) breathing
down my neck.

A raw olive won't kill you but the bitterness will hurt.  Olives must be
pickled to be edible.  Brine is traditional, but commercial processors
use a solution that doesn't pollute so badly.  If you want to process
your own olives, one way might be the dry-salt cure: layer sound ripe
olives in salt and check them after a few weeks, and every few weeks
thereafter, until the bitterness has subsided.  Rinse the salt off, dry
briefly, and store in the fridge.

Oil is processed from raw olives; the bitter principle is not
fat-soluble.

Call you County Agricultural Agent or UC Extension Agent to get more
info.  Olives aren't very nutritious, but they taste good.

I'm clean, responsible, and good with plants and animals.

I can give you local references.

Range: anywhere from Los Gatos to South San Francisco, though the Palo Alto
area (from Los Altos to San Carlos) is best 
for me. Will also consider Santa Cruz and La Honda locations.

Arrangements: I'll take care of your house, yard, plants, and animals,
take messages, and do anything else you need (within reason) in
exchange for a place to stay.

If you or anyone you know is taking a long vacation or leaving town

	Perk Party -- Sunday, January 3, 1993 -- 1 pm to late afternoon

It's been two years since we last hosted a rec.motorcycles group, and
we've moved from Belmont to Montara; the ride along the coast between
Pacifica and Half Moon Bay should be quite enjoyable.  Food will be
provided, but those of you who insist on bringing something will not
be turned away.  (You can count on the traditional salad, spaghetti
with or without meat sauce, vegetables of some sort, and soft drinks of
previous Perk Parties.)  Sorry, no hot tub (yet).  But nice ocean views.

You *must* RSVP to  perk@ingres.com  to receive your official map and
directions.  Please indicate how many will be in your party so we can
do some minimal planning.  Riding time from Alice's via 35/92/1 or 84/1
is approximately 45 minutes; twisty routes are appropriately longer.
Coordinate group rides through  CYCLES@SONORA.STANFORD.EDU.  For last
minute responses or directions, or if you get lost, call 415-728-9500.

When Honda came out with the 1980 GL1100I which had factory fairing, bags
and trunk Craig Vetters days were numbered and a few years later Vetter
went out of business. About the only source of Vetter items that I know
of are at places like Santa Clara Cycle Salvage and Emery's Honda. Used
Vetter parts, especially parts for fairings are hard to find these days.

In the 2 1/2 years that I have owned and ridden my Hawk, I have only
been "gotcha"d by the tank once.  Right after I first got the bike
(my first motorcycle) I was in a line of traffic that was in "stop,
look, go" mode approaching the blinking red light by Alice's.  At
one point, while I was creeping along with my legs dangling and
doing something I shouldn't have such as adjusting my mirror, or
playing with my visor, I looked up and saw the car in front of me
was stopped and grabbed the front brake.

I learned right then and there that the MSF was not kidding when
they told me that my knees were supposed to hug the tank while
riding, that dangling your legs is not a good riding habit, and
also that you aren't supposed to "grab" the front brake...

But, it's not like I go through life squeezing the Hawk's tank
with all my might lest I be castrated.  Other than that afternoon,
I haven't given it the least thought other than to keep my knees
up and to watch where I'm going - both good habits to have anyways.
The tank may look menacing, but it really isn't that difficult
to avoid.

My '65 Superhawk, one of Honda's early sportbike attempts, had a very 
square gas tank. The seat was flat, so the transition to tank was rather 
abrupt. To top it off, the kickstart pivoted forward! I bought it from 
a dealer, at age 16, with money saved from mowing lawns and washing dishes. 
The money and title changed hands, and to say I was excited would be a 
gross understatement. She fired the first kick, and I doubled over in pain. 
Shut it off and took about 10 minutes to catch my breath before I tried 
again. I learned to be very careful starting that bike. Maybe this designs
are Honda's contribution to population control.
