Oh well, if one of the biotech labs has space available, I have an
idea... I recently learned from some funky French documentary on the
World of the Ants that, not only can an ant colony determine the
shorter of two paths to a food source, BUT that ant colonies were
capable of solving the Travelling Salesman problem. No information on
whether they were already solving NP-complete problems in polynomial
time, but it did start me thinking that a little effort might supply
us with an Ant-Based Parallel-Processing Computing system that was
relatively resistant to thermal shock and ran on sugar water.

Only in the US. Horse meat is quite legal in France, thogh for
historical reasons (different tastes, and questionable provenance of
said horses in the 19th C.) they are sold from special seprate
"horse-only" butcher shops, traditionally recognized by a golden
idol-like horse's head over the door, with occasional additional neon
decorations. 

What's it like? Tough, stringy beef. At twice the price. It used to be
poor man's food, but now that little detail is lost, and people think
they're getting somehthing special, especially since it's mainly
available only in Paris. Sort of like paying twice the price of filet
mignon for "free-range hog jowls" in NYC.

For some reason, I am unable to remain quiet during discussions of Ireland
and the IRA, and thus have narrowly escaped injury several times.  I find
myself saying things like, "St. Patrick?  Isn't he the patron saint of
plastic explosive?" and "Was it Robert Burns[*] who invented the car bomb?"

I suppose the worst was several years ago, when we were discussing a local
case in which two IRA-nians had attempted to buy several Stinger missiles.
The sheriff's office happily sold them two training dummies, and then
arrested them.  I was going about how it would have been tough to shoot
someone in the kneecap with an anti-aircraft missile, when two gentlemen
at the next table entered the discussion.  Luckily, my friends prevented
me from doing any more of the talking.

I rarely go into Irish-type bars, because of the possibility that I might
meet two people called Pat and Mike, and be unable to control myself.

You must understand that the last rock/popular music concert that I went

Dec 79/Jan 80.

I do enjoy a wide and eclectic variety of music, most of which I listen
to in the privacy of my car so as not to disturb anyone else.

My idea of entertainment is to ride up to the Golden Gate to see "City of
Angels", or a trip to the Opera House to see Ruth Ann Swenson sing Adina

I recommend you call around to pawn shops and known fencing agencies in
the area and tell them that you are looking for some good high-end equipment.
They may be able to find you some.  When my Ampex 350 disappeared a few
years ago, I managed to find someone who was selling a 350 with about ten
phone calls.  The one he was selling was just like mine.  It had the
optional speed controls, the original full-rack electronics, the hand-ground
capstan motor bearings.  It even had the scratch on the side of the cabinet,
just like mine did....   quite a coincidence that even the serial numbers

When the hole ripped open, some hundreds of them were sucked through.
There was no place for them in this reality, and they struggled to
find niches they could occupy in our consensual hallucination. Some
could not adapt and ceased altogether.

But others found sympathetic archetypes and fitted themselves... as
vampires, or werewolves. Baba Yaga and Loki were born or re-born that
day, Circe and Coyote. One came to be the monster under the bed, and
others as things that go bump in the night. There were nixies and
boogey-men and a minotaur. And one instantiated as a disgruntled
