Please be aware of the fact that in the case of directed funding of this sort,
even in the absence of overhead charges, you'll be lucky if 10% of what you
donate actually makes it to the activity you're trying to fund.  Why?  Well,
there's lots of non-directed funding out there.  Funding that can be used at,
e.g., the university's discretion.  You can generally expect that for every
$1.00 of money you donate earmarked for a specific purpose, the university will
reappropriate at least $.90 of general funding that would otherwise have gone
to that purpose.  Unless, of course, you're funding something totally
off-the-wall.

With these words, Thunderchild melts his way into the bar and orders a Tequila
Sunrise. Moving over to table 28x (various metal beings, or so I've been told),
he sits down to enjoy life again, be it ever so briefly.

"I haven't been able to post as often as I would like to, due to the humungous
workload I have at the moment, trying to pass third year engineering. This
semester has been as bad as the last three, it seems.

"The fact that Kay House (my main log in point) is now listed as indefinitely
unavailable is another real hassle. How is a liquid metal humanoid supposed to
drop in, when they keep putting detour signs on the road? It's just not on, I
tell you.

"But enough gripes for now. Things aren't looking too bad at the moment,
compared to how they have been. Most assignments are out of the way for the
time being, the September break is coming up soon, and along with it, Fowlcon.

"For those of you who don't know, Fowlcon is a con in Bendigo, Victoria,
Australia, Southern Hemisphere, Sol-3, etc. It's running from the 25th to the
27th (I think those dates are right!) of September, and is pretty cheap. To
anyone who might be there (one can always hope), look for a group wearing
badges that say "WE DON'T NEED NO STEENKING BADGES!". At least, I *hope*
I'll be there - who knows what the gods will send my way.

"Well, so long for now. May the future be kind, and relatively tax-free."

Hmmm.  I _did_ think about the weather which other folks would experience were

Splash wanders up to the bar, plonks down a dollar bill (slightly damp) and
asks for a long black coffee.  When Mike hands him the steaming cup, Splash
strolls over to the chalk line and declares:

"To the end of winter in the southern hemisphere!"

gulps down his scalding hot coffee, scalds his throat, wipes the resultant
tears from his eyes and makes a mental note to ask Mike for luke-warm coffees in
future.  A quick flick of the wrist sees the cup shatter in the middle of the
fireplace.  Splash continues:

"This is the thirteenth weekend in succession that I've been unable to go
diving satisfactorily!  I'm supposed to be taking part in an Advanced dive
course, and the boat trip keeps being postponed.  Yesterday the forecast
predicted a 4m swell and strong winds ... 4m is almost as long as my boat for
heaven's sake!  Even the dive shop can't recall a winter like this one.  Apart
from the dive course, I'm supposed to be collecting seagrass from my site and
I can't get out there, which threatens to upset my seasonal data collection
schedule.  I know this whinge isn't directed at anyone or anything in
particular, and no-one can do much about it, but I'm sure looking forward to
summer!"

So saying, Splash wanders back to the bar, plops down another soggy dollar bill
and asks "Can you fix me a luke-warm long black Mike?"

Mike looks strangely at him and replies "Can you wait a few minutes while I put
it in the ultra-fridge?"

"Sure - I haven't got much else to do, what with this wretched weather!"
Looking out the X-window to his lab, Splash notes that it's begun to rain again

    Wales stirs at his table in the back of his bar.  Reaching up a
finger, he pushes his fedora back, and as he sits up in his chair he
straightens his trenchcoat.  Then he reaches over, picks up his
schooner of beer and finishes the last inch in it.  He uses his bar
napkin to wipe off the table and gets up.
    Wandering over to the bar, he hands his glass to Mike, and
tosses his damp, wadded up napkin into the barrel behind the bar.
He returns to his table, reaches down and picks up his satchel.
