	New Dartmouth Bank, with branches throughout New Hampshire
doesn't charge foreign ATM fees, regardless of balance.  Their ATM
cards are on the MAC/PocketBank and Cirrus networks.

	Direct deposit would probably help you, but doesn't matter to

Ballpark, economy class, 2-3 weeks before flight at least, saturday
night stay over ('super-saver')? $475-$550 depending on time of day,
how many stops if any, etc. Note that prices have recently gone up,
several weeks ago you could get a ticket for under $400, oh well.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RALLY REMINDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Worcester Area Sports Car Club proudly presents:

The TURKEY CHASE, Sunday, November 22, 1992

TURKEY CHASE is a straightforward Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rally
of approximately 75 miles on mostly paved roads in central
Massachusetts. It is designed for both the novice and
experienced rallyist.

Start: Burger King, Route 85 at I290 extension, Hudson, MA
Finish: An eating and drinking establishment somewhere in Marlborough, MA

Registration Opens: 10:30 AM
Novice Rally School: 11:00 AM
First Car Off: 12:01 PM

Dash plaques for the first 20 teams registered
Trophies for the best finishers in classes A, B,
C, and Novice
GRAND PRIZE TURKEY GIVEAWAY for best poker hand
(cards drawn at each checkpoint)

For more info, contact the rallymasters:
Noam Levine  617.964.5272 or email noam.levine@analog.com
Doug Philpott 508.481.9285

Remember, a TSD Rally is NOT a race. Penalty points are 
assessed for arriving at checkpoints either too late OR
too early. The event is run on open public roads, at, or
below, posted speed limits. It's a great way to test your
driving and navigational skills, and see the lesser travelled
roads in the state. All you need is a car, a partner who
can take or give directions, and a few spare hours on
a Sunday afternoon. Any car can compete. The only
additional helpful features are a 1/10th reading odometer.
A rally school will be provided for novices to help them
learn the ropes.
See you on the 22nd!!!!!!!!!

hello,

I have in-laws in Louisville Ky that save a substantial percentage on
their food bill by belonging to a food coop.  Once a month they put in
their order, and the coop buys en-masse for everyone.

I've noticed that the food coops here in the Boston Metro area do not
offer a substantial saving over regular markets, so I have a sense
that I"m missing something,

What's even more frustrating is that so many of the natural/organic
products my family buys are based in the NE area so I suspect that
buying a case of something should be fairly easy.

Does any one know of coops similar to what I've  described in the Boston 
Metro area?
How about any food distributors in Chelsea or elswhere that deal with the
public?

thanks,

Ira

If you need free ATM access in the Worcester area, and have some amount of
money to put aside to get it, then for about $3500 in a checking account,
Safety Fund National Bank will give you unlimited free ATM access at all
ATMs.  I believe they are at least on Cirrus, I don't remember which others.
And they have just a handful of offices; I know there is one in Westborough.

gunther@world.std.com (Gunther W. Anderson) asks about 
the Green line branch at Boylston.

This is one I can't guarantee perfect accuracy on, but I'll do my
best. I'm pretty sure this is the remnants of an old branch of
the Green line (it would have been called the F, but it was
taken out of service before the A-E system was thought of).  
I have some maps of the old MTA (the MBTA`s predecessor) dating
from 1960 and 1961.  They show a branch and a later bus or
trackless trolley (the maps are at home).

This was replaced by a bus.  I think it's the 43, which runs
from Park St. to Egleston (unless the terminus changed with
the opening of the new Orange Line).  I'm more sure of the
terminus than the route number.

If you were, going from Park Street into Boylston, to continue
straight instead of going right, you would be in a twin tube tunnel
that heads down Tremont Street and to a former portal, from the old
days when the trollies shared the streets and the tunnels.

The "outbound" track dives down underneath the right-hand turn that
the current trollies take.  That's where you see plows and repair cars
often parked.

There are some great pictures of the Tremont St. Tunnel on the
placards in Boylston Station, outbound side.

This is one aspect of a cable companies rights that I just find hard to
understand.  As a consumer, I look at the cable company as being like the
phone company.  For the phone company, they provide a service to my house.
From there, it's my responsibility.  The phone company doesn't charge me
for every phone outlet I have in my house.  Why should the cable company
be allowed to do that?

If I run the cable feed into an audio/video system that then has it's
own seperate feeds for VCR-1, VCR-2, TV-1, TV-2, I presume that's legal
because I've only got one tap off the incoming feed.  If however I use
a non-powered splitter and split the incoming feed four ways, then I'd
have to pay for four connections?  To me, that seems wrong.  Is it true
that the non-powered taps cause a high level of signal/power[?] loss
and that the cable company needs to know how many times the signal is
being split to ensure good service?

It was an Isaac Asimov story called "A Subway Named Mobius" or perhaps it
was "A Subway Called Mobius".

Long long ago in a place NOT far far away there was an "organization"
called the MIT Rapid Transit Club (a.k.a. Subway Hackers) whose members
enjoyed seeking out old abandoned subway tunnels and the like.  As I
recall, the motto of the organization was "Sic Transit" or maybe it was
"Sick Transit".

There used to be at least two trolley lines that used these
tunnels.   The trolley emerged from the subway about three
blocks south of Boylston station, in the vicinity of the
New England Medical Center.  

One branch went down Tremont Street to Egleston Square; 
this was replaced by the current bus #43.   (The 43 now
goes only as far as Ruggles Street; many bus lines were changed 
when the Orange Line moved about 6 years ago.)

The other branch went down West Broadway and East Broadway
to City Point in South Boston;  this was replaced by
the current bus #9.

I believe both trolley routes were discontinued some time
in the 1950's.

Occasionally there is talk of reviving this tunnel in order
to run a Green Line branch down Washington Street to
Dudley Square.   Unfortunately, the T seems more interested
in turning this into a trackless trolley route.
