	I'll have to read the Atlantic article, but Generation X'ers
are those who were born in the 1960's.  So Jenna, //anne//, Alec, and
Rashmi are all X'ers.  Aaron, Lisa, and the VMI'ers, on the other hand,
were all probably born in the 1970's (assuming they are average aged
college students).  They are not X'ers.  Perhaps they are the
Thirteeners the article was talking about?

	X'ers consort with Boomers all the time.  It's part of the
Plan.

  I believe I mentioned before that I can no longer access the local Next

However, their on-line Webster is nowhere near as good as that in the Next.

Just got home a little while ago ...had to check on some work...
From posts that I make you probably know I live in a somewhat
sparsely populated area (I live in middle of 30 acre tract).  Most
lots near me are at least five acres .... so sometimes, even though
it is peaceful, there are apprehensive moments.  Tonight is one of
them.  About a mile from here, I had to drive thru a crime scene ...
flashing lights, many vehicles, yellow tape surrounding an unfinished
house.  This house, which was begun a year ago, but still has only a few
partial walls erected, with closed in attached garage, has had almost
no activity or sign of life in the last few months ... appeared to be
abandoned.  This evening the body of a mid-20's female was found on
the property.  No other information released .. do not know who it is,
or if they lived in this area, or cause of death.  Tragedy seems so
much more intense at this time of year.

I don't mean this in any negative, picky, or disrespectful way
what so ever. It is simply a matter of curiosity. I see it in Victoria
quite frequently, and I saw it in epidemic proportions when I
taught in Penn. Why is it that people often use the plural spelling
"women" when they intend the singular "woman"? Any ideas??

P.S.: I asked the same question on WORDS-L about several years
back. I don't remember the exact replies I got, but I do remember
not fidning them very cogent.

One of the few exceptions was an early novel of Asimov's; I read that
people were actually asking librarians for the items listed in the
footnotes.

On another matter:  I just read a message on the VAMPYRES list that there
was an article in the Economist that equated Internet with the Illuminati.

	Hmm.  Brockton is FAR too sleazy and always has been for

Yes!

I also remember being careful to observe the quarantine of the little
boy across the street whose mother had polio.  Since he couldn't go to
school and since nobody could come to his house, even into his yard, I
kept him informed of goings-on by standing on one side of the 4" curb at
the edge of his yard while he stood on the other side of it.  When I told
my mother that story later, she almost fainted.

The week before Christmas, and the Niteman sends season's greetings to the
list.  abh gets a head start on year-end summations by issuing a call for
Words-L Best/Worst of 1992.  Carolyn's Trivial Pursuit game progresses
through seven plays.  JMW finds himself at the frontier of issues of
personal/professional electronic privacy.  Torkel challenges the list with
Cajun and Swedish dialectical English.  There is an animated discussion of
operating systems and user interfaces.  Adam Hartfield, the List Honey
(or, if you prefer, the more dignified List Historian) checks in from a
guest account in New Jersey.  Karen and Natalie both receive official-
looking letters from the Treasurer of Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes
and begin to talk about bankrolling the List Cruise.  A disquisition on
square corners and round objects in refrigerators is mere prelude to a
Sunday ho-ho-ho event at Natalie's house.  (Mama Primate is in attendance.)

Have you seen this error message more than once?

If it doesn't happen again then you can chalk it up to background
radiation / cosmic rays (you might call it "random weirdness" but I
get paid to call this sort of thing a "Single Event Upset", or SEU).
If you see the same message more than once your computer probably
has a dead or dying memory chip.

A transient SEU you can safely ignore, but if a chip is on the fritz
you'll need to replace it.

What about after dawn?  And are you distracted by the presence of a dog
in the audience?

Of course no fresh blackberries to use here, but made a batch of blackberry
sherbet and another batch of blackberry sauce (great in yogurt) from
backyard-grown frozen ones -- freezers can be useful.

Children now both home for the holidays -- but papers and exams still not
graded (Yuck!!!) --

Anne,
 Last summer when I was "over there," my converter box did not blow up,
but it didn't get my curling iron very hot either.  All but one of the
hotels we stayed in had built-in hair dryers, which I wound up using b/c
the converter wouldn't allow my dryer to get hot enough, nor would it
allow the fan to blow full blast.  Wonder if there is a converter/adapter
that falls somewhere between explosion and wimpy?
