You are one of the lucky ones.  I hadn't taken a bus for about 5 years
when I decided to try it out this last Christmas.  (No, not Christmas
day, the day before).  It will probably be at *least* 5 years before I
take a Metro bus again.

I found myself at the Seattle Center when I wanted to go home.  I pulled
out my trusty quarter and called Metro to find out route information to
get home.  I live in Totem Lake (near Bothell/Woodinville).  Not more
than a half mile from 405, and within a mile of several major arterials.
I had to feed more quarters into the phone while the metronerd tried to
figure out how to get me home.  It seems that Metro only runs direct
routes to my neck of the woods during morning and afternoon rush hour.

The route I had to take was:  Take a bus from Center to bus tunnel.
Transfer to bus to downtown Bellevue.  Transfer to bus to Totem Lake.
Walk home.  Travel time: a little over two hours.  I can drive my car,
park, and walk to a function at the Coliseum in 30 minutes!  Even in
heavy traffic it doesn't take me more than an hour.

Mind you, Totem Lake isn't exactly a rural area.

Actually, I take the bus to some places (downtown, the U District)
despite it taking longer.  For me, the saved frustration of driving
in heavy traffic and then spending 10 minutes or more searching
for parking makes the cost of the added minutes worth it in most
cases.

Missed me again.  :-)

I am in neither catagory.  I drive the limit (as much as is possible
because I make mistakes too -- I can be inattentive too sometimes when
conditions on the road are more important than a three mile an hour
difference in my speedo), because it just isn't worth it to speed.

The deck is stacked against you by the police, insurance companies,
and the courts.

Actually Metro Transit DID win some sort of award for being a damn GOOD
transit system... It was in part of a nationwide  study, and ranked number
one as I recall.  My source was the clarinet news here on USENET.

So, if it was number one, and it's NOT a decent transit system, then maybe
we should complain about the all the others, too?  After all, WE have the 
best one there is... :>

It all depends.
There are procedures for children born of US citizens abroad,
basically its paperwork with the local US consulate/embassy. 
Generally must be done by parents at time of birth (as the
above named individual is not able to do it themselves.)

Dual citizenship is a tricky one, this _really_ depends.
I don';t know for Japan, but some countries I have been in
consider you a citizen/national if you were born there (just
like USA) and may consider you to be subject to national
service at age 18 unless other arrangments are made.

check with your local japanese consulate, federal dept
of immigration and naturalization.  I remember starting
this years ago for my girlfriend with a paperwork mixup
at her birth.  Oy.

Telebit T2500 for sale...  asking $450 or best offer.

OR preferrably:

$200 with Supra 14.4k Faxmodem (new roms) or Zoom 14.4k.

This modem is great for UUCP because of it's 19,200 PEP mode, which I have
no use for.  That's why I'm selling it.
