  There's a house on Blue Spring Road about 1/4 mile north of Mastin 

Lake Road that pretty heavily decorated.  Also, there are two houses 
on Horseshoe Trail in SE Huntsville that really go all out.  If you 
don't know where that is, the easiest way to find it is to get on 
Bailey Cove Road and turn east onto Willowbrook and you can't miss 
it.
  There are also some houses in (I think it's called) Anderson Hills, 

which is on Hwy 53 north of Huntsville.  It's just past where Jeff 
Road runs into 53.  Some houses up there are kinda neat.

I couldn't resist doing this...
I have Xerox copies of
the seating arrangements for the Sugar Bowl available.  This
shows what section, area, and which gate to use.

How much should I charge for this thing ???  $200 ??  $300 ???
( I mean really, the seats themselves are going for that, right ?)

It does sound crazy, doesn't it !!

Now for the serious part,

If you plan on going to the Sugar Bowl, have your tickets, and
want to know where you will be seated, write to me and include
your Intergraph address (ie, GD3005), and I will send one back to you...

These shall be free for the BAMA fans.  Ok, free for the MIAMI
fans too! ( No flames desired. )

If you are outside of Intergraph, I don't know how to help you
unless you call me.

And yes, I still need tickets !!!

Help me out folks.

Excellent point Guy.

The sad truth is that, in America, such an emphasis is placed on sports
that that's what many children see as the ultimate accomplishment. And
whether they care to admit it or not, some  parents will speak loudly 
and proudly of their kids athletic prowess while badmouthing the 
academics but when they toss and turn on those sleepless nights 
worrying about their kids' future, it's their grades and their future 
in the job market they lose sleep over, not how hard they can hit.

So the "My kid beat up your honor student" may be a joke or even a 
superficial attitude, but the joke is on them.

Sports are a wonderful part of a child's development for those who 
choose to participate. But only as an adjunct to education.

'Tis the Season.
 
I volunteer for St. Vincent De Paul Society and this year we have 
had double the requests for Christmas Assistance than what we were 
prepared to handle. Then came last weekend...I was pursuing people 
for sworn statements in a case (lawsuit which I am not At liberty 
to discuss) and came across an old woman who lives in a small home 
off Wall Triana Hiway in Harvest. This woman was very old and arthritic. 
She had only a wood stove to keep warm by and no wood. Her hands were 
so crippled up by Arthritis that she could not zip up her blue jeans. 
She had a cane. This woman may have some money--I do not care or know-
-I do know that she lacks the ABILITY to get out of her house to get 

wood or go shopping for better clothing (I.E. ones she can manipulate, 
such as sweat pants and shirts with no buttons).
        So what I did so far was to go to Catholic Center of Concern 

and pick up a jogging suit for her, and some warm flannel night clothes, 
however I still have not solved the wood problem. Now I have land 
with many felled cedar trees on it, but do not have the ability to 
get the trees off the land or cut it into small enough sections so 
that it would fit in her stove. The stove can handle about two foot 
long sections (maybe 1 and a half). I have checked with the local 
guy who sells wood and it costs $40 un delivered. If you can spare 
some wood please call me for a pick up at 851-9119.
        Also if you have any ladies warm clothing like sweat suits 

to donate please call also. I will come by and pick them up and take 
them to her. She was very nice and apriciative when I brought her 
the jogging suit. I know she needs help but is afraid to ask. This 
woman is tall but skinny. I think she would wear about an 8 in Womens 
clothing. Her home is very cold and I want to make sure she stays 
warm this winter. With the storm nearly here I would apriciate it 
if you would call ASAP with your donations of clothing or wood.
 
Merry Christmas.

    My father-in-law has a large record, tape, and CD collection and is

be able to enter in all his record data ( author, title, "subject", etc )

    Are there any good programs ( including shareware ) that anyone

No, it represents a sense of humor, and it has very little to do with
how poor the driver's grammar is or how crude are his philosophies of
life.  I thought up this very bumper sticker long before I ever heard
about this.  In fact, after seeing a couple of  "My child is an honor
student at so-and-so school", I wished I could get another one that said
"My child takes your honor student's lunch money at so-and-so school". 
It's because I think it's funny.  It's a charicature, a stereotype.

Certainly a number of people wouldn't find that amusing.  However,
remembering my own days in school ("honor student" AND "dumb jock" - I
was even a LINEMAN in football, for heaven's sake), not only would I
have just died of embarassment if my parents had stuck something like
this on their car, so would all of my friends who were "honor students",
as well.  What amuses me is how parents take such vicarious pride in
their children's accomplishments, thus putting sometimes undue pressure
or unwanted attention on a facet of the child's life that the child may
not particularly like.  It *used* to be that doing your best in school
was expected, not fawned over.

It has been a while (a long while) since I was in school, but I know that I
would NEVER want one of those on my parents car.  I made good grades and all
but I got haseled enough without something like that.
    Besides I have to be an  adult too much, I like being a child.

I'm sure I would be very proud of the child, but I have very strick rules

No, because I ran off the road and hit a mile marker sign.  (It's hard to

   This is not only true for sports, it is all of the entertainment fields.  Think
   about it.  Which occupations pay the most money?  Doctors?  Lawyers?  No, it is
   the entertainment related fields.  How many football, basketball, or baseball
   players make over a MILLION dollars a year?  How many doctors make that much?
   How many rock singers, actors, etc?  How many doctors have fan clubs?  Our
   society is SPECTATOR oriented. [...]
Entertainers make the kind of money they make because they reach a lot
of people. Doctors and lawyers can't practise in stadia or on TV; you
wouldn't pay much to see real ones work (if you get Court TV at all,
you probably don't pay extra for it :-). In fact, software developers
have an advantage over other intellectuals, in that if they create
something really terrific, they can get paid for it in proportion to
its impact. Writers are in the same boat, they get paid more for
creating something that masses of people want than for something that
thoroughly satisfies their own esthetics.

But this moaning and groaning about how "society" is flawed because it
values entertainment is, face it, illogical. "Society" is an
abstraction, a summation of lots of little actions by lots of people,
and _not_ a sentient being which can be persuaded, bribed, or coerced
to behave a different way.

In fact, a doctor, a lawyer, or even a _teacher_ make more money *per
"client"* than Barry Bonds or Michael Jackson. Lots more.

For any of you with small children I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Brian Beitel.
We have one daughter who at the time was three and needed some simple dental
work.  She was/is terrified of dentists and doctors.  My wife and I have been
going to the Allen's, but when my daughter went she was completely 
uncooperative.  They referred us to Dr. Beitel.  Of course she would still
rather not go to the dentist, but there isn't any real problem with getting
her to go now, (which could be considered a potential miracle :)).
