Even the Golden Triangle Regional Airport, serving Starkville, West Point,
and Columbus, has data phones now!  I love it!  So here I stand online
while awaiting Judith's plane, which is gonna be 35 mins late.  Sure wish
these data phones were free.  I guess I probably shouldn't stay online
from now till 10:30.

        Answer 1 (logical):  You can stack boxes, and they're square
like the insides of the fridge, so less space is wasted.

        Answer 2 (anthropomorphic): Because wine jugs are curmudgeons
and don't get along with each other.

        Answer 3 (fatalistic):  Because they're inanimate objects, and
they never do what you want them to do.

I'll go along with that! There seems to be something about this list that
attracts only those with a 60's mentality (I'll beat the smart alecs to it and
say that I mean those with attitudes of the 1960's and not those with I.Q.'s

You would have really appreciated the cats my sister and I had as kids then.
Fluffy was given to my sister when she was 2; at 18 months I was allowed to
keep Fluffy's daughter, Possum. When I was about 8, our babysitter who owned
two dogs - one a huge blue-cattle dog and the other resembled a ball of white
fluff - used to visit our house often. One day the dogs followed her down
to our place.... but they didn't stay very long..... they were seen yelping
their way back up the street with Fluffy and Possum riding them like jockeys...
I never thought it strange that the dogs never came near our house again. :-)

I've not had much luck in keeping my cats alive since we've lived here. The
first was Snow - the one that ran away; in all she probably left about 16
kittens on my doorstep over the following years.... usually 4 at a time and
most of those went to good homes, but were named by the kids after my
workmates at the time. The ones we kept were given special names.... Garfield
(he was the spitting image); Toosey (had 'two zacks' worth of brains) and
Spitfire (nasty temperament but bloody good mouser). Garfield was killed and
skinned by some depraved individual; and both Toosey and Spitfire eventually
succumbed to a feline disease that was rampant at the time. Four years later
we acquired a little Manx kitten from a cousin..... he drowned in Helen's
wading pool when she was given him swimming lessons (she was only 18 months
old at the time). Another 3 years passed before I gave into the pleas of my
middle son to get another cat..... the original Socrates, which became Soxy
to everyone else.... black cat with four white feet who was killed by a car.
Six months later on a trip to the pet-shop to buy fish-food, we came home with
the last two kittens..... Helen wanted to name them Soxy and Play-Doh, but that
wasn't refined enough for the boys, so they became Socrates and Plato.... Plato
met an untimely end, but Socrates is still going strong.... he's about 2yo now.

I'm almost certain it will be open, but I'll check. The roller coasters at Dis-

stance). It's about 40 miles from Disneyland, though. If you rent a car, no

Sorry this is so late -- but the end of the semester is upon us all.
Next time try using a rolling pin with the crumbs in a plastic bag, with
a second bag wrapped around the first.  My blender could also do this task,
if I were willing to get it out, set it up and also clean it up afterwards
(not a real big chore in this case).

I like the rolling pin -- you're allowed to take out some aggression.

My cat's first (and still main) name is also Socrates. It comes from
the time he was a kitten and a little more clumsy and silly than now.
(The only other philosopher with a sibilant I could think of was
Leibniz, but that wouldn't have had the right ring..) Other names:
Mozart (Mozartmania was in full swing when I got him) - plus he is
also very musical. And since he looks like he is wearing black tux
with white gloves, he is also Meistro. Poltergeist is another name
that stuck, I am sure you can guess why.

I will admit that there was a definite ratio between age and our ability
to Guess Who's the Professor.  Over age 60, you could spot them two blocks
away.  But some of the post-grad adjuncts look like they just recovered
from a particularly horrible psychedelic episode.
