Pat,

True, true, but try 16 between Medina and Kerrville, on 2 wheels, at 100
mph, carving through the sweepers like a scalpel with an incredible lurid rush
of colors and smells caroming by the periphery of vision and the memory of
pancakes and coffee still in the back of the brain oh yes and a brief chirp
chirp chirp of the back tire as you ask it for a little too much coming out of
a shaded turn and the hope of getting the front tire up in the air again as you
wind the throttle WFO and the whine of other riders passing you (you throw one
the bird not as a sign of aggression but as a kind of understood "we are all
gonna get killed doing this" gesture) and then the sweet sublime slide out of
fifth gear all the way down to a full stop as you dismount at Mencius, pulling
the helmet off your soaked head, feeling the breeze absurdly caressing the body
at ten miles per hour, the same breeze that blasted your leathers into your
skin at 85 a few minutes ago, and you scritch scratch your hair, and dissolve
into the darkenss of Mencius, air conditioning and egg rolls on your mind, and
know that it is a Good Thing to have been alive this day.

I didn't name any of the files.  I left them as they were named by those
who giffed them.  I can change them, of course, if anybody wants them
changed.  As far as I know, Graham is the only person who has ever gotten

I bet you're right.  I had wondered why Adam was talking about himself
that way.  Yankees are people above the Mason-Dixon line (plus those just
south of it -- I mean is *Maryland* really part of the South???).  And
the thought of butter on a roast beef sandwich is repulsive.

The talk about older singers reminds me....  The stuff about people
in related professions dying in threes seems, now and then, to hold
up.

1.  Mary Wells.  What a drag.  Age 49, broke.  Nothing could tear her
away from her guy, but Berry Gordy and a few other sharks tore her
away from her share of the money she made for them back in the
Sixties.  So Gordy is one of the guys who kicked in blood money to pay
for her cancern treatments because she had no medical insurance.

2.  Alfred Drake.  Bring golden haze on the meadow, indeed.  I fell in
love with musical comedy when I heard him, Doretta Morrow, Richard
Kiley, and Henry Calvin in the quartet from _Kismet_.  I didn't give a
shit that it was ripped off from Borodin, and I still don't.  What a
voice....

3.  Arletty.  She was 94, which surprised me, so you can't get too
broken up.  I've seen _Children of Paradise_ exactly once, but I will
never forget it or get over it: it's the ultimate romantic film for
ultimate Romantics....  When I saw it in 1969, every man in the
theater reacted to Arletty's first appearance the same way women react
to the first appearance of Gable at the foot of the stairs in GWTH.
She was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, and you could
understand why Baptiste Debureau lost his mind....

	It is legally required.  Massachusetts also uses SS numbers on
driver's liscences, but will assign you a number if you bitch about it.
I know a lot of people who get an assigned number.  Of course, this doesn't
mean that they don't still *have* your  SS# on record, but at least
it isn't getting written down every time you try to write a check.

Every operating system has its own rules for filenames.  Some (like
MS/DOS and CMS) have quite restrictive ones; others (like Unix and
OS/2) are much more relaxed.  But nonetheless the rules are all
different.  F'rinstance CMS allows a period as part of a name - it
has no syntactic significance.  Same for the plus sign.  MS/DOS
won't allow either.  Unix won't allow a slash.  Most don't allow
blanks (but OS/2 does).  MS/DOS names are (I think) the shortest,
(8+3) followed by CMS (8+8), followed by MVS (44), and then Unix and OS/2.
I have no idea what the Mac names are like.

No - not at all.  (Reading ahead, I see you've already done it :-( .)
I can easily change the names for the system I am downloading to.
I'd much rather have the descriptive names.  My own "cultural"
preference is to have case not significant in file names,but this
is just one of those Unix things that I don't like, but can live
with.

I have received the copy of _Collins COBUILD English Grammar_ that I
ordered a while back for the library here.  Pretty coventional as a
grammar, but its claim to distinction is that it takes all its examples
from the live language, as gathered in something called the Collins
Birmingham University International Language Database (Cobuild) and the
Birmingham Collection of English Texts.  There are lots of word lists.
For example, there is a list of 30 exclamations that "are only used to
show reactions."  "crikey" is there, but not "yipes".  My eye was also
caught by the inclusion of that timeless expression  "well I never".  If
the publication date weren't 1990, I would suspect the editorial team of
using Words-l as a source !

How I wish I had told my father that I couldn't belong to the Boy
Scouts...the majority of that time was pure misery.  I think I
belonged to the only kosher troop in existence.

Subject:      Bowling and Pool in Ireland?

Bill--they play a bit of pool in Ireland, but not that much
(compared with the popularity here). Jeez, they don't even have
that many swimming pools either. Bring your darts.
I don't recall any bowling alleys in Dublin, but that may have
changed a bit. My suggestion--pick up a hurley and a sluider and
and practice. Hurling is big (and fun), although prepare for bloody
ankles and a few whacks on the head. Hurling, like political
discussions in words-l, is legal chaos, great sport, and a few
pints afterward adds to the enjoyment.

There's a former NIU prof (Farrell Corcharan) in Dublin (another
lefty-pinko) you might want to look up. His wife is a gourmet cook.
He's also on the nets on occasion.
