I *think* any internet site(*) can run the 'webster' client to the central

Karen wonders:

   they thought I was. Has any American ever been taken for an American
   abroad?

In my experience, almost all the time.  Rarely have I met an American who
appears "European"--there is a distinction--subtle, but it's there.  I know
I look American...so I expect to be taken for one when I go overseas.

Good morning!

Did *not* get any phone calls from computer center - well, after 11 - last
night and this morning found brand-new appearing keyboard -  so everything
is great - can get dog (sorry Muffy) at home working again.  Think I'll
vote for Barbara Bush - like most of what she says.

hmmm did not know we had so many cats...and can't figure out how Muffy
sent out messages yesterday on PC with no keyboard .....guess he has
other than motorhome driving talents ...pretty smart dog.

Trivia today ....to which lots of people answered wrong, and others
probably didn't care, but anyway which living president has flat feet?

I've got to get to work ...I can see cobwebs forming between me and PC.

Comments: To: All fellow wordslers <words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu>

this weeks chronicle of higher education has on page a5 an interesting
piece on good ol' "spinster of Fall River", where at least some clammers
got on their travels.....Lizzie Borden did/didn't off her parents on 8/4/1892
and a conference of 500 folks met at Bristol Comm Coll there.  Scholars,
theorists, amateurs, relatives/descendants, etc.

Actually, no one got 40 whacks.....only 19 for the mother and 12 for the
stepfather.  Though lizzie lived in Fall River until 1927 when she died,
she was ostracized by polite society.   Article is half page or so, and
includes a photo of a scholar with the ax.....which was just a small hand ax,
not a big tree-felling ax......

Also a headline from the local paper at the time:

MURDER MOST FOUL.

Andrew J. Borden and
   His Wife

Horribly Butchered
 at Their Home


Not quite like the type used today, except for the NYT, of course.

Well - the comments on this list are the first time I have *ever* heard
any woman say anything positive about The Doors.  The usual reaction
is a sort of knowing sneer - and then if pressed, some comment about
Morrison being musically-competent-but-not-a-god.  When pressed
further, the answer is something like "yes but - why do they have

for those who haven't already heard, THE Rapture, not just any old rapture,
but the one that will transport the truly good and believing off to heaven,
has now been scheduled for October 28.  the exact time has not been set,
and it is unclear whether it will be worldwide in one instant, or whether
it will be sequential in some manner, perhaps following the time zones
around the world.  Does God care about time zones?  I just don't know.

We had a half page ad in the paper about it on Sunday, and some have
had fliers on the topic stuck on their windshields in mall parking lots.

Interestingly enough, the folks doing so do NOT seek any funds for their
church or whatever....though I spose if you sent some to the PO Box they
list (in aurora co), they wouldn't complain....

as they say, forewarned is forearmed
