Excellent!  N.O. is only about five hours from here.  Maybe less.  Would
you believe I've never been from here to N.O. and thus don't know exact
time?  But if it's 2 hours from here to Jackson and something like 3 hrs

	and ran the rest of the trip to Diamond Creek).  We used the maximum
	allowed time -- 18 days on the Colorado, through some of the most
	amazing and glorious landforms on the planet.  Neither my words nor my
	photos can do it justice.

	As a private trip, we had to assure the Park Service that no one was
	making a profit on the trip.  So the organizers carefully kept track of
	all expenditures.  Well, let me tell you -- those commercial outfitters
	make an INCREDIBLE amount of money.  They usually charge their
	customers on the order of $150-200 a day, whereas each of us was
	charged in the neighborhood of $350 for the whole trip!  Not only that,
	the vast majority of commercial trips are motorized (noise pollution,

Thanks for the tip.  It's really odd that I've been successfully downloading

within the last week or so every text file over a few screens long turns

Well, sounds OK to me! - especially now that I am thoroughly acquainted
with Starkville, especially after touring the city, the campus, after
dark in motorhome, having police eye me with suspicion... anyway, after
I saw that certain intersection the third time, decided (correctly, at
last) to take the right fork, not the left.  And I can direct you all
to a Chevron station close to the goatroast site (near the small
cemetary?).  Bye, time to get to work.

of late: frivolous postings designed to do no more than make someone feel good,

venial aspects. Therefore, I request from you Wordslers a set of guidelines
that will ensure consistent, high quality list content.

Here are a couple from me to set the ball rolling:

Posts should include some sort of double-entendre

	Quick, so's I don't have to look up the conversion charts...

	When did Natalie mail this message, in terms of either EDT (Pittsburgh
	time) or CDT (Starkville time)?

	As you can plainly see, my mailer thinks it was received at 0127
	Eastern *Standard* Time.  Which is odd because it's 0214 Eastern
	Daylight, equivalent to 0102 EST, as I write this.

	Let's assume that our systems people just plain forgot to reset
	something when switching over to Daylight Time.  So it took most
	of a minute to get from UGA to me.

	I won't even begin to ponder the question of why this message, unlike
	the vast majority of those flowing from Natalie's fingers, is
	time-stamped in Greenwich Mean Time.

I drove a Mustang at the dealer's insistence (did I already say this?)
and thought....  Why this?  No way.  My 23 year old son Caleb was
out of his mind though...  he loved it.  Not my kind of car....
Lug lug lug....
Drove another Miata today and that is going to be it, I think.
My daughter is pushing for the special edition--black with beige
leather interior.  $2000 more, but worth it she says.  Anybody
know where I can get one?  I'll go almost anywhere.
Still have to drive a Celica, though, if I can find one.  Dealer
here had no convertibles with stick shift.

them).....  And anyway, we are not talking about being practical.
We're talking about having *fun*, in a very capitalistic sort of
way.  I'll have some money left over for cab fare, I think.

Have a safe trip, Frank.  BTW, you can survive without E-MAIL for a few
weeks ...but it's rough!  Oh, while on my 3 1/2 trip I listened to no
news, watched no TV, and read no papers ....really great!

                            Peace,

Then years ago the dread $*>SECULAR HUMANISTS<*$ were the enemy. Today
it's the dread cultural elite (examples include, according to Quayle,
Arsenio, Letterman and M. Brown). Kids shouldn't go to public schools
'cause they run by the culture elite, and public universities are
over-run with them. D'nesh D'Souza says so.

Frankly, comparing ggs to Lenny is the silliest thing I have ever heard.
Whoever made this statement should mention at least one point of similarity
between the two.
