 I know a couple of Rolphs. One in particular sounds just like him. 
I loved this episode. And that clock was gorgeous. Anybody know

Thankfully you're wrong.  Proximity to the brewery usually helps, though,
in getting the beer in kegs.  We've gotten kegs of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale,
for example, for parties.  Anchor Steam doesn't seem to be making it this
far south in kegs yet, but I can hope...

Maybe Rolf did get a glass of Budweiser rather than something good, though.
I'm sure Holling has Bud on tap :-(.

Admittedly having it there might serve as a reminder of how much the
beginnings of this relationship means to them, but there is also the

Possible bad effects on hikers and animals ( some of that stuff is

From the books on pi that I've read, I think that this is the formula
that I remember seeing that will yield true pi.  However, I do agree
with you that she was probably not using this formula.

I agree that it was nice to see a woman of the mathematical persuasion,
and although Chris' patented MathBabble(tm) did its job and completely
nauseated me and thus prevented any enjoyment of seeing a living
breathing mathbabe on NEXP, I was surprised to hear about her new-agey
theory that if she could just calculate pi to a few more godzillion
places, she'd get "a message from beyond" or whatever, since this is the
kernel of the plot of the Carl Sagan novel "Contact":  A woman
calculates pi out further than ever before and comes upon a series of
ones and zeroes which contained the plans for a ship that would take
four people to some planet where the people that made the universe used
to live or something.  It was a very good book and I think that this
might be where the big pi idea came from in this episode.  Any thoughts?

(It looks like I posted this under the wrong thread before)

A song plays in a dream sequence in the "Joel&Maggie in Juneau" episode of
Northern Exposure,
 "Toy Cows in Africa, Toy Cows.  Toy Cows in Africa, Toy Cows..."
Most take in the scenes and music while unconsiously tapping a foot.
Over the next few days, many of them found themselves quietly repeating the
addictive refrain, and decided to look for the song.  Most must have given
up after looking in a song title reference, and not finding it under
"Toy Cows", "Cows", "Africa", "Sittin", "Watchin", or "Moonbeam"...
Some discovered that they weren't the only ones curious about "Toy Cows."
Shortly thereafter the globe was divided into 57 sections, and sections
were assigned for what was to later become known as "The Great Cow
Crusade."  I was responsible for searching the West coast of the
United States.  Well, it was a long and tiring search, but DID find
"Toy Cows In Africa", by _Chance_, in California.

I talked with Cheryl Leah, one of the founders of the group, _Chance_.
It was she that sang the non-refrain portions of the song.  She said that
a friend of hers edits for Northern Exposure, and found that the song fit
the video of the dream sequence, perfectly.  She was VERY surprised to
hear of our search for the song.

That song is on a taped album that they sell wherever they play, and on
a three song demo tape.  She was excited to inform me that they will have
the album available on CD by Christmas.  I decided to buy the three song
demo tape and wait for the CD.  She said that she would inform me when
the CD was available.

The three song demo tape has "Toy Cows In Africa," "No Mama," and
"Is There A Limit?"  I was NOT disappointed.

If you want the song, call her at (818)980-9623.  You qill probably get
their answering machine.  Give her a call, and tell her I said to!!

Organization: University of Utah Computer Center
Date: 13 Oct 1992 18:26 MST  

Three episodes in and I have been amazed at the number of ambivalent feelings 
expressed by all you NX fans.  Many that hated "Northwest Passages" loved the 
Midnight sun episode--and more than a few were dissapointed in last night's "
Nothing's Perfect."  Then again, many of you loved it.  FYI--Northwest Passages 
(who many said was out of character for the show) was written by Robin Green, 
Author Extrodinaire of the "Cow Fling" episode ("Burning Down the House") and 
last night's episode was written by Frolov & Schneider who gave us gems like "
Seoul Mates" & "Lost & Found" & "Cicely" from last year. They won the Emmy for 
writing for NX.  SO--NO these are not new writers or producers.

So why all the whining and wishy washy whimpers? Can anyone specifically 
articulate what it is that is bugging them?

Personally, I have enjoyed all the episodes thus far (my .02).

From my own meaningless POV, there were only three episodes last year I really 
didn't like at all. But I wasn't caught up in continuity or character 
consistency.  There isn't a lot of that in Cicely.  It is an "anything goes" 
kinda place that plays fast and lose with space and time. So--

Let's hear it folks. What are your specific complaints about the very limited 
glance we have had at the 25 episodes we will be treated to this year...

Maurice owns a Macintosh.  In one episode he even referred to it as "my
