And at that, it was better than anything I'm still capable of putting out
auf Deutsch.:-)  Well, song lyrics maybe, but the rest?  

	While we're in here, let's see if any of Dawn's buddies recongize
this:

		Sagt Mir Wo die Blumen sind

		Sagt mir, wo die Blumen sind,
		Wo sind sie geblieben?
		Sagt mir wo die Blumen sind,
		Was ist geschehn?
		Sagt mir wo die Blumen sind;
		Madchen pfluckten sie qeschind;
		Wann wird man je verstehn?
		Wann wird man je verstehn?

		Sagt mie wo die Madchen sind;
		Wo sind sie geblieben?
		Sagt mir wo die Madchen sind,
		Was ist geschehn?
		Sagt mie wo die Madchen sind;
		Manner nahmen sie geschwind;
		Wann wird man je verstehn?
		Wann wird man je verstehen?


It keeps going....if someone wants the complete lyrics, they're around
someplace.

I'm not so sure that if everyone believed in God, there would be less
crime etc: after all, if the Bible is any guide, Cain slew Abel even
though Cain knew for sure that there was a watching God!  And then,
of course, there are the stiff-necked Hebrews in the desert, acknowledging
God one minute, whining and stalling the next -- I have heard it said 
that the Old Testament [as if there were any other!] God isn't
 a God of Love.  I ask you, would an unloving God have *put up* with
that sort of behavior?  I mean, would an unloving God have been content
to just punish the leaders and keep working with the sheep?

     My guess is that these aren't lab quality devices and that there
is a fair amount of 'leakage' that is detectable.  Key in on an
unusual upswing in the appropriate spectrum and light the warning.

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard. I have never
thought that the sun goes from left to right. Been in the northern hemisphere
all my life. (In fact a few times I have felt that it goes from right to
left.)

Maybe people living near the equator don't get any strong feeling either
way. Even if people living very far north do, I doubt it is specifically
"left to right".

Remember that smartassed remark I posted last week about women who live
together synchronizing their menstrural cycles? Something like that has
happened here, except it seems to have affected only the men.
Net.progesterone has invisibly travleled through the list, turning all
susceptible to it into raving bitches!

Seriously, guys, don't you think this righteous outrage has gone on long
enough? Please, let's put this into perspective. I mean, I've been the
grateful beneficiary of a little chest-beating and braying by Chris and
Ken before when people have attacked me, but then we all got over
ourselves and went on with list life. Ken, Chris, I love you both, you
know that isn't just posturing for me to say that, but enough is enough.
It's clear you have something personal against Giggles, which is too
effin' bad, because there's folks who have something personal against you
two, and me, and each person on the list. We stay on and take our licks
when we get flamed, don't we? And we give as good as we get, right? So
problem? What problem?

And now let me make a public appeal, of the type I don't believe I've ever
made on Words-L, and which I sincerely hope I never do again, because it
violates many of my beliefs about what list life should and should not be.
Let's take this thing private. If you guys have a personal problem with
each other, fight it out within your own mail boxes, and quit using the
public forum as a protection against having to get down and dirty with
each other, which from my POV is what you *really* want to do.

This thing isn't going away by itself. When Don got flamed this summer,
many people pointed out that it could have been handled much more
gracefully in privatemail. I now ask that all who want to carry on this
grudge match with Giggles do just that.

Thank you Evelyn (I've been away for a day or so, just getting around

Refresh me - what was it about the Beatles white album...?

It started out a gloomy day (I swore never to have another B-day:
gifts, yes, B-days, no...) but ended up rather nicely, after all.
Still, from now on it will be a celebration of the autumn equinox
(give or take a couple of days)...

Apropos of fall equinox: what is its importance for Wiccans, Evelyn? Anyone?

Thanks again to all those who sent B-day wishes. I used to think Bah-humbug...
about the practice - but it did make a difference. Cheers, all!

Great. We get a new president here. First black president in Washington, blah,
blah, blah.  Going to get the budget under control. First thing that happens,
he wants the kitchen in the president's home remodeled. Bid cost: $35,000. What
the school actually paid: $80,000.  The building where his office will be
located is being remodeled. Nice office. Even has a shower. How far does the
president live from his office. About 200 yards.

Innauguration is coming up.  For a measley $17.00 per person, we can see the
president innaugurated and we get to partake in a "banquet". Oh, boy. Well, at
least I was invited.

His wife is pretty cool though.  The being-remodeled building used to have a
dome on top of it.  It was taken off a number of years ago.  We just had the
grand dome-raising last week.  Mrs. Prez christened it before the crane hoisted
away. They tell me champagne won't stain silk too badly.  She wore about a
magnum of it after she slapped the dome with the bottle.  The brand of
champange was hidden with a sock.  Either it was really expensive (our old
president had expensive tastes in wine. Of course, the fact that his wife owned
part of a winery around here and therefore "requested" that her wine be served
at official functions....) or it was really cheap. I'm leaning towards
expensive.

And we get to face 16% budget cuts for the next two year.  Grand.

Anyone who does not like Joshua Judges Ruth obviously has something wrong

Ruth, it *has* to have something going for it.:-)

I used to be on part of it regularly, back when it was the best route

Dust particles, my dear, dust particles.  Even laser beams reflect off of
atmospheric floaters. What gets reflected or deflected can be detected. The
lasers in those guns are not of sufficient strength to not be deflected. If
they were, the car being gunned would slow down really fast through no fault of
its own.  Also, the gun would be the approximate size of the backseat and
wortha coupla hundred k.
