Subject: Re: A Restaurant Scene

=I dunno, the one-thing-at-a-time rule sounds pretty fascistic to me,

It's not superiority, it's just different.

When you're not playing by the rules because you don't know them,
in the case of this one-at-a-time business, you end up seeming
impatient.
Since many Americans do this here, and the counter people find it
annoying, you're just liable to get cursed at, especially because they
know from how you speak and act that you're an American.

I don't know if it would upset people if you did it that way in the
States; as Karen mentions, that's how it's done where she is.   But, how
impatient do you think the next person in line would get while you did
it?

When I was 12 and moved from Chicagoland (Highland Park) to San Diego,
one of the things I really did notice was the 'laid-back California
atmosphere'.  I sensed it speeding up over the years as well.  Before I
left I was living out in the sticks in the Sacramento valley, where
things were small-town-slow, and it was still a very real adjustment to
how much slower it is here.

Actually, the ranch is right on the ocean. In fact the Main House
boasts having the Western Most Bathroom  on the Continental US.

The main house also has a 300 degree view of the water.

and i'm hoping that we'll have a swimming pool as well.

Ferndale is actually closer to Oregon than to San Francisco.
We're going out October 8-14th and plan to see a bunch of

There's an interesting article about Lizzie Borden in the National
Review.  The author tends to think that she actually did commit the
murders and states that the community ostracized Lizzie more for her
actions afterward than for the murders.

P.S.  I agree with Alexander Woollcott about that last breakfast of

Well, I know she had the gestational diabetes.  She took home a pint jar of

Only with great trepidation do I disagree with the ListLanguage

Why would one have to talk back to the television set or radio to be

patterns one affects when talking to others?  Do I understand you to
say people do not take pieces of what they hear on radio or
television as models for their own speech?

I really must have been in an entropy storm yesterday--nobody

to say that the Buddhism is in the *choosing*.  It is still
Buddhist to *choose* to destroy the enemy, while you are right,
it is not Buddhist to do it simply because you can.  The quality

Well, I am occasionally a master of the obvious.  And, upon

I miss a lot--sometimes.  Has to do with keeping up with 140
posts at a shot.  One ought to be able to set this up for

Sorry Karen--and Natalie.

nothing's likely.
