Wow, Harwell, it's gonna be a long four years, huh?  You're starting

Dan Rather's hard-on was full-(ahem)blown.

I agree that the train of thought gets kind of muddy in that the gender of
abh would presumably become male if she became Frank.  It is further
complicated by the question of what Frank would become if abh became Frank.

I've had it suggested to me that subscribing to WORDS-L could be comnsidered
an abuse of resources because it breaks proper list etiquette by allowing
use of the list for virtually personal conversation and in the process puts
very undue strain on the systems of the subscribers. Supposedly personal
conversations should happen between individuals through their own accounts,
and not be broadcast to all members of the list.

I pass this on as information, and not as a criticism on my part. WORDS-L
is great intellectual exercise, even under all the mud wrestling, but
its traffic is overwhelming.

        Teal or cranberry, lettering in white.  Or maybe use different colors
        for the two lines of text, to augment the contrast between Helv and
        hand-written.

        I worry that the gray would be too dark, and the lettering would blend
        into the background.  And that a few hundred washings would wear it
        away.

Sri Lanka is home to Theravada Buddism (I believe only Singapore or some
such place is predominantly so).  Anyone interested in the history of the
religion should make it a point to go to Sri Lanka.  Dambulla Caves with
enormous statuary; Adam's Peak, the 3+ miles of stairs is more than a
pilgrimage to see the Buddah's Footprint at the top...day's dawning affords
a glimpse into one of the unsolved mysteries of nature--a perfect isoceles
triangle which appears briefly on the clouds; and Sigiriya, home of an
ancient monastery, entered through the Lion's Paws gate, past the ancient
frescos, to gingerly climb up the terraced sides of the rock to the top and
the magnificent panorama that awaits; Anurada Purna, another pilgrimage
site, with the gorgeous white stupas surrounding the main building (I don't
know that it's called a stupa, probably something else more like temple).

Enough reminiscing.  It's driving me bats...

Probably the "If ya got it, ya flaunt it" principle at work.  I don't like
all the songs sung by the trio mentioned above, but you've to admit that
they have the most amazing voices.  Look at the wimpy wannabees like Gloria

	Doris, Entropy, and abh are being PC.  I could have sworn I heard an
Eskimo in there when I was watching on TV, and the New York Times' version of
the poem has the Eskimo.  I don't know about the politically correct canon,
but I believe there is a tribe called the Eskimos.  However, there are also
Inuits, Tlingits, etc., and they don't like being called Eskimos, because
they're not.

I somewhat playfully (but apparently without making that clear), suggested
that words can errupt or slink in from nowhere, as, according to some, did
the universe. Given my lack of clarity, Karen rightly called me for
spouting bullshit. On second thought, it occured to me that words which
come out of a writer's mind/imagination do come out of nothing. I cited
*The Joy of Lex*'s statement that W.Shakespeare 'created' some 1400 or
1700 (I don't remember JofL's exact number) words in such a manor.

The question now, as I see it, is whether words originating in the
human imagination can be said to come from nowhere. It may well be
that Shakespeare's brain was not *nothing* (now it's probably less than
dust in a bunghole), but that doesn't necessarily apply to his
imagination.

:By the way, nowadays it seems Indians (from India) are distinguished from

That isn't surprising.  I never heard of Indians being referred to as
Asians until the Ugandan expulsions, when the refugees were referred
to as 'Ugandan Asians'.  Before that, Asians had pretty much always
meant people from Asia, ie Chinese.

Hi ...in case you haven't noticed, have been quiet for some time now ..
NOMAIL set for last week and unkown time in future.  Work has become
extremely heavy (very little time to play) and made major tactical mistake
at home.
In an attempt to get wife a little interested in this whiz-bang PC, showed
her how to play one of those mind games where if you avoid arrows, falling
rocks, etc., while trying to collect items, you pass on to the next level.
Well, must have taken her four hours to figure out how to get out of the
first level (which, actually is better than I did, because I quit long
before then).  Well, the next level didn't take so long, but some others
did.  She is now at level 10 .. with 15 more to go!  So why is she not
trying right now?  She conked out!!  Except for brief run to church and
Shoney's this morning, she has been on this thing nonstop since some time
early yesterday (also showed her shooting gallery game, which she played
until she pushed my name off the champion board).   Help!!   I've created
a monster addict!!  I may never be able to play again on weekends ...alas..

Bye, I'll?drop in again some time ...of course have no time to FTP archives.
Should not have shown people that list of games I could retrieve (golf and
bass games? ...not for me! ... gee, I didn't have this problem with my old
diskless, monochrome, just barely move relic.

Oh, well, off to see if the fax function on this thing really works.  Maybe
I'll read the WINFax manual first .....nah, so much fun to see how
intuitive software really is.....


PS.  I love windows!!! ....and may have converted a couple of neighbors...
     especially the one who watched Windows Word Perfect VS his DOS version.

     And mice aren't all that bad either.

     Don't fuss too much, remember I am NOMAIL and no time to FTP ;-)

                            Peace,
                                  Don
