Someone a few weeks ago was asking where to buy Vegemite in Seattle.
The Ravenna Puget Consumer's Coop, 6504 20th NE, Seattle, has it, current
price is $2.32 (add 13% if you're not a member) for a small bottle.  They
said they sell a fair amount of it.  Well, I'm off to enjoy a Vegemite
sandwich now (no flames, please, I was raised on the stuff, and when they
get you as a child, you're hooked for life :-)).

There is ONE bit of "magic" involved.  Years ago I had a kitten have an
allergic reaction to the vaccine.  Fortunately this was at the vet's office
before I learned to do it myself.  Epinephrine was needed to qwell the
reaction.  So I had a bottle of E on hand for the rare instances that a
kitten may react unfavorably to being vaccinated.  Fortunately, it never
happened, but knowing I had the E made me feel a whole lot better about the
vaccination process.

It can also happen in an adult cat if you change vaccine brands, or so I was
told, so just because a kitten doesn't react the first time, doesn't mean
it won't have a reaction to it as an adult.

(Where are the vets in this newsgroup?  I KNOW one of them from Pullman
reads this...where are you????)

My favorite veterinary mail order company is "Drs. Foster & Smith" at
(800) 826-7206.  No minimum order.  An example: Eclipse 4 KP-R
(Killed rabies and panleukopenia, modified live rhinotracheitis, calicivirus

Foster & Smith is run by two practicing vets and does a good job.

If you're going to order a lot, another company is New England Serum -- but
I don't know their number off the top of my head.

There's no magic for vaccinations -- just a few simple guidelines.  The
great thing about doing it yourself is that you can give better
vaccinations for less cost.

I have yet to find *one* free market monopoly that exists or ever has existed

Some examples of government-granted monopolies are (without comment on

o	Public utilities.
o	Patents.
o	Copyrights.
o	Landing slots at airports.

You are right, though, that if the government grants a monopoly, there becomes

There's a place in Seattle which specializes in fixing broken espresso

I don't think that police officers should have any more rights than me UNTIL
they are arresting someone. If you're carrying a gun on you in the car (with
a concealed weapons permit), the officer shouldn't care unless you point it at
him (or start to). I see nothing wrong with the officer peering around your
car for anything threating, and maybe even contraband, but if they feel
threatened, then the driver should be asked to step out of the vehicle.

With most cops wearing body armor, they should be relatively safe from a
car stop bandit anyway (but I'm sure its not PLEASANT to be shot even while
wearing one).

For more information please write tomis@microsoft.com , he
has more information, I just forwarded this from the mailing list.

A massive LP demonstration is being planned to protest Marrou's 
exclusion from the debates and from network coverage. The protest will 
take place Sunday 10/18 from 2-4pm at the KING TV studios on Dexter Ave 
in Seattle.

KING, being the NBC affiliate (and home of the largest talk radio 
station in town) is an appropriate target because NBC banned Letterman 
from inviting Marrou, shelved a taped interview done for the "Today" show, etc.

The debates start at 4pm, so we think our best window for coverage in 
in the pre-debate hoopla, as opposed to the hours of post-debate analysis.

This protest will take place if we can get committments to participate 
from at least 50 people. (It would look idiotic if we only had a 
handful of people there.)

RSVP by Tuesday night if you committ to participating. Also, let me 
know if you are willing to drive other people (or need a ride 
yourself.) Maps and picket signs will be provided (feel free to make 
your own, though.)

Well, while GTE was at it, I guess they converted all of Pacific Telecom's
switches, too :-)  because we just got free Touch Tone (Registered trademark
of AT&T) last year as well.  Now my modem goes beep-beep-beep instead of
tick-tick-tck tick-tick-tick!  To accomplish this technological feat,
everyone was given new phone numbers!  Fortunately, only my *exchange*
changed (from 858 to 851) but some people who had had the same number
since the introduction of direct local dialing had to change completely.
The reason?  The good folks at PTI decided to start issuing numbers on the
851 exchange *before* they converted the 858 people over.  Now, they're
re-issuing the old 858 numbers to new subscribers, but not letting the
original "owners" of those numbers to get them back.  Yes, there are a lot
of wrong numbers being dialed.  Grumble, grumble...

I see the reasoning as this:  It is a show with national viewers.

If you saw an advertisement saying "COPS in Livonia", how many viewers nation-
