JEFF,
    I have seen a deer, we have deers in Australia although they are not native.  I dont know if they came from America. I would suspect they came from England in the colonial days.  My uncle use to hunt deer many years ago.  I have 6 sisters and 5 brothers.  I treach Grade 1 at Wallarano Primary School although I am taking a few months off to look after my daughter who is 3 mths old.  What school do you go to Jeff.  What season is it there?  We are into spring here, a little wet at the moment but it is wa






rmer.
Cheers,  Jimbo Down Under

Thanks again!

The baseball team I really like is the Atlanta Braves.  Texas is fine.  We don't have any bad weather.  You can have more keypals than just me!  Is your teacher from another planet?  Ours is . . .

Do you have a lot of friends?  Do you live near any large cities that we could locate on a large wall map?

Hello Jimbo,
     It is funny to hear you talk of the trees coming into blossom and the frogs calling, while I sit and look out my window at winter rapidly approaching us.  Before I know it, I'll be knee deep in snow, and enjoying every minute of it.  We have a big hill near by that my father takes us sliding on.  We have a lot of fun, and I cannot wait.  The last two winters have been very mild, so we did't get to go sliding very much.  As for the ice, it has been too warm for skating.  I remember when I was small, we




 had winters that we could both skate and slide.  Hopefully the cool spring and summer we've just had will carry over to a beautiful winter.  The state of Michigan is called The Winter Water Wonderland State.
     I've mentioned that I am a cheerleader for the White Lake Preditor Football Team.  Our team played Lakeside Saturday, and we won.  Out high school team The Whitehall Vikings played The Montague Wildcats Friday and lost.  The out come of this game decides two things.  First it decides which city owns the bridge over the White River, between the two cities.  Second, it decides which school takes control of the old school bell.  At the end if the game, Montague students rushed across the field and took t




he bell from the Whitehall students.  Whitehall had held control of the bridge and bell for the past four years.  What a loss it was to see the bell leave.  Montague rang and rang the bell, sounding their glory as they returned to their side of the field.  I think I shall never forget this...
     Well Jimbo, I must go for now.  It is time that I have to go to cheerleading practice.  Write back when you can.  Good-by from the Winter Water Wonderland.....

Jillibean...

Wanda   maybe something to interest your kids about Australia. Really just observational diary about the world around me.  Trying to get someone interested in New Zealand as well.  You probably get two messages.  I tried to compase the message offline and then upload when I got on to save time in the system as we only get 90 minutes a day.  Seems a lot but I get a bit involved in one thing and another. The upload didnt work so I am cut and pasting with my MacIntosh.  It is not hard to do but the sys doest 

like it when I leave a blank line between paragraphs.  It thens to throw me out of the message area.
Environmental Watch Initialliser
Hi Kids at New Albany Elementary.  Here is Jim's Diary for today.
27 September 1992
THE WEATHER
We're heading for a record month in Melbourne, of wet weather and low teperatures.  Typically we're ranging from 8oC overnight to 14-16oC during the day.  We have been having a couple of warmer days up to 18oC but when will we crack the big two zero.  It hasn't rained the last two days but the weather is deteriorating with rain expected later tonight.  The winds come and go with the low pressure systems but they are in the main colder winds from the south.
THE PLANTS
The grasses are all very lush, green, and in seed at the moment. There is also a small white -pink daisy in flower which a number of the birds also like to eat.  Eastern Rosellas particularly like these blooms.   The bottlebrushes are also coming into flower in my garden which will please the Red Wattle birds to no end.
THE BIRDS
Went and did a couple of laps down the track (crackle, grown, moan-the body just aint what it use to be).  Spied White faced heron, maned (Wood) duck(-male of the species and looking rather over fed), two galahs, an Australia magpie, welcome swallow, noisy miner, half a dozen Eastern Rosellas.  Some of the birds I have seen lately are into mating mode.  With the onset of the warmer weather and all the food around (seeds and flowers) I suppose nature has gone in overdrive.
THE MINIBEASTS
Saw some mosquito larvae in the bird bath.  My wife attracts misquitoes worst than the red light specials at the supermarket attracts my mom.  I heard my first frog cried for the new season last week.  All point to the new season in progress .(Roll on SUMMER - I just love the hot weather)
Cheers for now.    Jimbo Down Under

Thank you for the nice message.  I showed it to Mort.

It is great to learn about all the new friends you are making through the BBS.
Five messages is quite a few for one day.

Hola  Jean-pierre!

El da Domingo Septiembre 27 1992, Jean-pierre Vanderwaeren comentaba a to Enrique Lopez:

 JV> Hola Enrique !

 JV> Por fin entro en contacto con un MODEM espaol ;-)
 JV> Me encanta conocerte y charlar contigo. Ya hace 4 aos que busco

Pues no creas, somos un monton de usuarios del medio lo que ocurre es que las conferencias europeas suelen ser en frances o en el idioma del ligar donde se generan y no es facil encontrar en este medio a gente con un segundo idioma que no sea el ingles.

 JV> Acabo de descubrir este area por
 JV> casualidad. Conoces ms areas en castellano?

De alcance internacional, no, exceptuando LATINO.

 JV> Me llamo Jean-Pierre y soy

 JV> ordenadores (PC y mainframe) en particular. Espero charlar contigo (como
 JV> con cualquier lector de este mensaje) de todo lo que te parezca
 JV> interesante.

Pues en este area me podras ver cuando quieras. He pedido moderarla dado mi larga experiencia en castellano 8-).

    Saludos, Enrique

I am definately interested in having my students participate in this.  I
have 40 forth year students and about 40 third year students.  We only
have female students, but that shouldn't be a problem.  We would like to
begin ASAP.  Espero tu respondencia.

Hasta Pronto.  Dena Stock, Portland, Oregon(St. Mary's Academy)
