I don't know of any particular clubs, having been out of the area for
three years now, but my buddy Steve Bray's band, Mirage, gigs
throughout NoVA, Wash and Maryland and they play late 60's and 70's
music and people dance their butt's off.

If you give him a call (He's in Annandale), I'm sure he can tell you
when and where Mirage is playing, what other bands play the same
music, and the clubs that book them.

Give him a ring. He loves to talk about music and the band.

You can call up BWI airport for info. There is a limo service, but don't
ask for that. They are more expensive. I believe the department you want
is Commuter Service or something like that. They provide transportation
from the nearby train station (so they would know what trains get you
there, probably) and also to selected destinations (I know they go to
Bethesda, for example).

You don'y know a damn thing about me!  I am naturally cautious and still have 
been held at knife point in the city.  I have been yelled at and told I am
in the wrong place and had better get out.  This doesn't happen to me where
I live (yet).  The bunkers are in the housing projects downtown where people
fear that a stray bullet might enter their homes.  Too many of the victims
of crime in DC ARE innocent, regardless of your macho bullshit!

You are the one saying be alert and cautious at all times, yet acuse me of
living in a bunker.

Yeah, I'm sure they make it all up. Reading about the daily death toll in
DC is like a bad dream, but it IS real.  Carjackings occur almost daily,
people are shot just for a whim, kids are taking guns into schools.  Maybe
you accept the level of crime in DC as normal, something to lightly step over
but for many it is all too frighteningly real.

Money cycles through the economy from "prime" earners through to service
industries and back again, i.e. for every person  working in manufacturing a large
number of service people are employed (accountants, hairdressers, telephone
sanitizers etc.). This works fine as long as the manufacturing work is in the USA,
if it is in Japan or Mexico then the workers in manufacturing will employ Japanese
and Mexican accountants, hairdressers etc., leading to a decline in requirement
for service industry in the USA. The service industries are by definition not
self-sustaining.

Want to stay employed? - buy American, it may be your only choice.

Perhaps a simpler explanation would be that the increasing poulation size
and density due to immigration results in a corresponding increase in
the amount of everything (sewerage, housing needs, unemployment) including
crime, until the capacity of the host country has expanded to the point
where this influx is absorbed.

The crime, as I recall reading about it, was not so much the clash of
cultures, as it was the the standard larceny found in any large urban area.
More people, more crime.   In other words, did New York in the twenties, a
major period of immigration, experience any more crime than London, a city
of comparable size but with a mostly indegenous population.

On the face of it, this sure sounds flaky, and it's odd to see
a "real" university involved. So far, I've never seen an entity called
the "human energy field" mentioned in the main-line science journals.
But then "cold fusion" sounded flaky too, and there's still
research into it going on at the Electric Power Research
Institute. Could somebody who's curious enough to go to this 
lecture summarize to the net?

On weekdays, you can take the MARC Penn Line.  It's a commuter rail
system.  Trains leave Union Station in Washington at 6:30A, 7:05A,
7:35A, 8:05A, 8:50A, 9:50A, 10:50A, 11:50A, 12:50P, 1:50P, 2:50P,
3:40P, 4:10P, 4:32P, 4:50P, 5:10P, 5:25P, 5:55P, 6:45P, 7:45P and 
9:50P.  It typically takes 30 minutes to the BWI rail station, give or
take 5 minutes.  Call MARC at (800) 325-RAIL to confirm times.

Again, note that the trains only run Monday thru Friday.

  Hi -

  I've been thinking about the "recent" race to move 
  a great deal of our manufacturing base to other
  countries. I guess there are a number of things 
  that bother me about it. Number one is what do we
  do with all the people that it puts out of work?
  There are only so may service jobs available and
  no money for these people to get retrained. I guess
  what most people don't seem to recognize is that 
  when these people lose their jobs WE lose the money
  that they used to spend. WE also lose because of the
  amount of havoc it plays with our social structure,
  crime, rehabilitation, spousal abuse, child abuse.
  I also guess what bothers me about it is that the 
  people who are back of it are ignoring the pain they
  cause other people because they don't have to live 
  "in" it. They aren't exposed to the increasingly 
  violent society, they live in the shelter of their
  pristine upper income neighborhoods. There's also
  no accountability on there parts because most leaders
  of industry are relatively short termers, retiring
  with guaranteed incomes, with no performance clauses
  written in that tie them to the future of the company
  and make sure that they are responsible in the future
  for the havoc that they are reeking now. What ever 
  happened to the "United we stand, divided we fall,"
  idea...........do people really think that they can
  get rich at others expense without hurting the world 
  around them and why do we let them?

     Who's going to pay to clean up the countries whose 
  environments are being damaged by those companies 
  moving to other countries? We will in 20 or so years,
  another debt put off to the future. Robbing Peter to
  put the money in the pocket of those currently taking
  the money and running, think we'll see lower prices
  as a result of the "savings" the company is getting?

     Can anybody remember the days when you could make
  a living delivering milk or bread, or work in a grocery
  store, and still have the wife stay home with the kids.
  You can't even live on those wages anymore unless you've
  got two jobs like that and your wife would still probably
  have to work. Probably wouldn't get any medical either, 
  they cut grocery clerk hours back to less than 40 hrs. a
  week so that they don't have to pay them medical. Our 
  medical bills are going up partially as a result of the
  burden placed on the medical community by the now large
  number of people who recieve medical care that can't 
  afford it. Rant, rave, etc. 

  ps. I don't think there's any thing wrong with America
      that the realization that we all depend on each other
      wouldn't cure. We have more natural resources, arible
      land, and educated citizens than most countries. What's
      hurting us is our loss of connectedness and responsibility
      to each other.

I get my spices via mail order.  The distribitors supplies various
food warehouses, food clubs and food cooperatives thru the
Eastern Seaboard.  He handles wholesale as well and the prices are
much chaper than the 'bulk' spices.  Drop me a message if you are

William,  you really are full of crap!  In response to my post you said that
you are aware of your surroundings and cautious when you are in the city, now
you tell Brad that you are careless and absent minded.

 good laugh.
