Joan, not such a new feature ... the 1960 Lincoln Mark 5 (biggest car I
ever owned) had that feature ....it's nothing more than an small electronic
solenoid with a remote switch.  My current Lincoln has one, but switch is
inside the glove compartment, which Joyce always keeps locked, so have to
take keys out of ignition anyway :-(  .....and I always get out and help
Joyce put groceries in trunk, so it is mainly unused.

I suspect G meant to say that potential energy would be converted to

okay.

More generally (and in this case more appropriately), potential energy
is simply stored energy.

I like my carrots raw, for preference.  Steamed or cooked lightly is all
right too, but they have to have some crunch left in them.  The only orange
mush I enjoy eating is butternut squash with nutmeg and cinnamon.  Lobsters
I'm learning to tolerate, but you're right about the liver.  Except of course,

I consider them ALL to be excellent.  Main problem with liver to most folks
is that they are either bothered by the name, or that they have always
had it tough and overcooked.  It should be cooked quickly and NOT turned
into tough shoe leather.  It should be a touch pink in the middle, about
what would be "medium" or so on a steak.  And of course onions (and bacon
if you wish) are a requirement.

Thank ghod, we finally have a wicked little old granny. Don't worry about
spoiling my reputation, Carolyn, I have <friends> to do that for me. And if
they don't do a good enough job, I can always start posting to <Usenet>.

I've been skimming mail and missed the details of the person we're
discussing.  Is it somebody from U of Texas?  I groaned when I saw a
new subscription from there earlier today because I knew that it meant
more bounced mail.  Something is screwy with the system there.  Every
couple of days list mail for amadeus.utexas.edu bounces for a while and
then stops bouncing.  I try to be patient since the bouncing doesn't
usually last all that long.  But it does cause a bit of clutter in my
mailbox.

For this disease, I'd use Listerene. (TM)
