There seems to be a discrepancy of 7255 more married men than married women.

I can think of a few possible explanations, but perhaps it would be more fun
to have the net postulate some answers...

The differences in separated and divorced numbers are easily explained by one
party leaving the area, but since the married numbers explicitly purport to
be 'not separated' there seems to be some data missing.

Whatever the answers may be, I guess I should be happy those 7255 don't seem
to be among my competition, anyway!

Palo Alto (IMO) is not a great place to live.  It's very expensive and
is overrun by cream-faced swells with too much dough and free time.
Come late afternoon it's a traffic nightmare downtown, and lately it's
been overrun by bums.  I just moved out of P.A. after living there
almost 10 years and I don't miss it a bit.

True story: last New Year's eve I wandered out of my house to a nearby
park and stood in horror listening to the machine guns going off in East
Palo Alto.  I had never actually heard real machine guns before.  It's a
scary, inhuman sound, and it was wierd to think of all that lead arcing
through the air above me.  I mention this because it was that night that
I decided to move out.  To much sleepy wealth next to too many hungry
dogs.

presenting awards to businesses for their achievements in five 
categories:  Land, Air, Water, Sun and Environmental Enterprises.

The PCC Environmental Awards Committee selected the winners after 
reviewing the applications and making site visits.  The winning programs 
are innovative, demonstrate a positive environmental impact and serve as 
a model for others.

Richard Morrison, a Senior V.P. of Environmental Policies and Programs

According to Morrison, protecting the environment is now an economic 
imperative.  By abusing natural resources, we degrade our ability to

environmental principals in 1991.

These principals govern its day-to-day operations and identify

The Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts will come alive
with favorite music by Europe's greatest choral composers on
Saturday 17 October at 8:00 p.m. as Schola Cantorum opens its
29th concert season with "Old World Treasures."

Gregory Wait will conduct Schola's season premiere concert, which

selections from Rachmaninoff's The Liturgy of St. John
Chrysostom, and Bruchner's Three Graduals.  Also on the concert
are Antonio Lotti's Crucifixus, the Mass in G Minor by Vaughan
Williams, and Orff's Catulli Carmina.

Schola Cantorum, the renowned 130-voice chorus, is beginning its
second season as a Home Company at the Mountain View Center for
the Performing Arts.  This season includes four exciting
subscription concerts:  Old World Treasures; Welcome Yule, a
concert of Christmas pieces with double brass quintet on December
18 and 19; Great American Song on March 6, with Weslia Whitfield,
who was hailed by Don Heckman of the Los Angeles Times as "A
marvelously subtle jazz-based interpreter"; and the season
finale, Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem, which will be presented in
Stanford University's newly renovated Memorial Church on June 6.

Tickets for all Schola concerts are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors
and students and $6 for children under 12, with group rates available.
Subscribers receive a 15% discount and many other benefits.  Tickets
