mentioned it when I came back from TDay vacation in CO, but (not too
surprisingly) nearly everyone I know voted *for* the Amendment; I can't be
persuasive when I'm disgusted, revolted and angry--especially when they're
people I would have thought would have seen the Amendment for what it is.
They saw the words, not the results.  Some very clever people made an issue
out of a non-issue.  It still makes me sick to think about it...

Best wishes for peace in the New Year, everyone...

There are only 5 remaining players for Round 2 and I would like to hear from
them ASAP (excluding Agnes who I have been informed is absent at the moment -
I will leave her in the game however just in case she returns before the
finish). Following is a list of these players with their choices for this turn
in brackets following their name:

1. blomberg (S or N)
2. alt-brad (anything except S)
3. abh      (anything except A)
4. John     (S or A)
5. /anne/   (H, E, A or G)

Please remember that if you use netnews, reply to me directly as well.

Mka is currently in the lead with all six categories under his belt and only
needs a good roll of the dice and to answer one more question to win. Nancy
and Susan are next in line with 4, then Brad with 3 and Betty with 2...the
remainder of us have either 1 or nothing and Aaron is the only one with a
question outstanding.

If I haven't heard from any of the above in the next 15 hours, I will start
Round 3 off.... I'll probably do that anyway, after replying to any responses
I get.

I think those are particularly strong areas, although I believe Rice is
gaining a reputation nationwide as an excellent school.  Trinity is also a
fine school.  Another which has a good reputation is Austin College at
Sherman.  The only problem with that is that there are so many special
programs and so many programs offered abroad that if a student transfers,
he pretty much has to start over.

Can't recall I have seen a keyboard with both F and PF keys painted that
way (must check out by PC at home as it is the only one I know of that
has two complete sets of "F" keys).   Anyway, to continue the mystery,
this keyboard has F1, F2, etc, however the screen I am looking at says
"PF1 Top PF2 Bottom PF3 Erase Line PF4 Add Line PF5 Nulls Off PF6 Format
 PF7 Send PF8 Proofread PF9 Hlep PF10 Nest PF11 Previous PF12 Cancel"

Now I ask you, if all I have is F keys how can I accomplish any of the
above?  As I said before, PF (programmed function) is ancient talk (but
still in use) for F (function) keys.  And I still hate 3 key sequences
when I should be able to do the same with one.  Guess I'll start reading
the QModem book and see why my PC came wih two communications packages.
Maybe QModed understands (P)F keys and isin't so finicky as Crosstalk.

No, that glob of keys to the right is too far away -- your hand has to hop
over the arrow etc. keys to get there.  On the left, you could hit something
like alt-F6 (to scroll back in Procomm) by barely moving your hand.  God
meant them to be on the left in a two-column array -- all 12 of them (altho
I can't remember ever having used F11 or F12 for anything, now that I think
about it).

That was my name for a Christmas tree ornament I bought in New Orleans --

I stared at this one for a while before I remembered what it was.  Giggles

> 27) DDT truck (Natalie)

What's the full name of DDT?  I can't remember (or probably never knew).
It's a pesticide that was commonly used in the '50s to get rid of
mosquitoes.  The trucks would drive around town spewing white clouds of
DDT everywhere.  The children, at least those in my neighborhood, loved
running behind the DDT truck, dancing around in the white clouds of DDT.
Our parents disapproved because they were afraid we'd be hit by a car.
As far as I remember, nobody ever considered the possibility that we
shouldn't be breathing the DDT.  Later it was banned as being dangerous
to health.

> 29) Zabar's bag (Natalie)

I also had to pause on this one, not because I didn't recognize the
meaning, but because I couldn't remember why I had mentioned it on the
list.  Zabar's is a store (a deli?) in New York City.  Somebody once
gave me a large cloth shopping bag from there, which I find convenient
for carrying stuff.  I used it last summer when I drove to the clambake.
I found it funny that both Ken and Ann Wolman said almost exactly the
same words when seeing it (not at the same time -- Ken first said it and
then Ann said exactly the same thing a couple of hours later):  "What's
a Mississippian doing with a Zabar's bag??"  I mentioned it on the list
when talking about all the things I crammed into the back of my car last
summer.  The Zabar's bag was great for books, maps, wet bathing suit if
I happened to have gone swimming, etc. etc.

Comments: To: eye@farpost.chi.il.us

Just got a call from Gail and Dad.  Dad's in the hospital and alert.
He's got a patch over the left eye (big surprise there) and his right
eye is pretty cloudy, such that he can't read normal newspaper print.
The doc says that doing all that laser stuff stirs up debris in the
vitreous, and that it should clear up in a few days.

He should be leaving the hospital tomorrow morning, but they don't think
they'll venture back to Potatoland 'til Saturday, because of the fairly
chokey weather.

Gail has been sitting on the floor all day in front of him, since he has
to look down on people to see them.  (What?  Dad look down on people? :-)

And then my mom's father (my one real grandfather) just went to the
hospital with some intestinal problem, but that's something else... :-(

Just call me Mr. Medical Stress.

Updates as I find out about them.

Oh yes, I let Dad know that multitudes of people from the list(s) (or at
least 2 as of this morning when I checked) have sent him hugs, and he
was heartened to hear that...

Peter Montgomery and friend (Depraved May) are pictured in docs/words-l/
Gifs/peter2.gif.  I haven't viewed the gif yet but am looking forward to
doing so soon.

There's still a post-surgery problem with the ftp files, btw.  When trying
to see the list of files in a particular directory, you will get a strange
message about a "map heap error" instead of the list of files.  I hope that
problem will be solved soon.  You can still get the files ok if you know
exactly where they are.  If you want a copy of the index to the ftp
collection, go to docs/words-l and get the file named 'index'.
