	The giant platypuses were torturing me after their fashion:
comfortable armchair, big glass of icy spring water (delicious water with
a tiny steel spring in it), smaller glass of 15-year-old single-malt Scotch,
and, after a few minutes of that, a shapely five-foot brunette in a snug-
fitting plum-colored dress.  She snuggled up to me and assaulted me with
puns, playful kisses, and wistful longing looks in her huge brown eyes.
	I capitulated and told my captors all they wanted to know; luckily,
all of the information could have been found by several hours of research
in public libraries and pornographic bookstores.  The platypuses listened
with rapt attention and yawns, and at length they let me go after further
torture with large portions of salmon-roe caviar and Pol Roger and the
witty conversation of the brunette.  As I left their secret headquartes
in the Giant Platypus Enterprises Building, I saw that the brunette was
following me.  I stopped and she walked up to me.  "I own you now," she
said, with a naughty smile that ran down the street smashing shop windows
before returning to her face.
	"You've been reading too many stories about bondage and industrial
adhesives lately," I said, with a flippant gravity, a calm terror, a
nonchalant tone of concern, and various other oxymorons.
	"Nevertheless you'll come with me," she said.
	"Sure," I said, and chucked her under her stubborn chin, which seemed
to shift under the gentle blow (55 mph, with gusts to 70 -- not even a
topical storm yet).
	We walked down the Ich-bin-ein-Berliner-Strasse to the Romanesque
Revival building (built at the site of tent meetings held by Dominican friars)
where she had her apartment.  We ran down several flights of stairs, and
when we could go no lower except by committing perverse acts, she went over
to a huge steel sliding door made of huge steel, unlocked it with her unlocket,
and swung it open (even though it was a sliding door).  We went in and she
closed the door silently behind her.
	The rooms were light and airy, with windows six feet square giving a
fine view of Lisbon.  "I have to change," she said, and tore off her face
and scalp, revealing herself as a very pale young redhead, face faintly
gawky yet beautiful though very heavily freckled.
	The blow from the giant wombat's truncheon brought me to my senses.

Dear Fish Lovers:

Although I know it's vulgar and trite to revert to petty devices such as
metadiscourse, I've decided to pull a faux-Winston here to let you know
that Paradigm Part 3 is on its way. I've also decided (much to your relief,
I'm sure) to Get A Life [tm] and secede from the net extensively, which means
posting a lot less and reading fewer than the 68 newsgroups I now subscribe
to. However I still plan to keep you up-to-date on the weekly escapades of
Jim and myself as we battle the forces of ambiguity, fighting for truth,
justice, and fair icthyological practice for those without an ambiable health
insurance plan. Remember that patience is a virtue. Thyme is a seasoning.
Be cheerful.

I am deeply touched, and can hardly wait for the next 317 parts!  Even

I will therefore answer this call to words with my own, though humble:

	"Ode To A Matt"

	The Matt he sits
	in raven's peace
	with withered wits
	and PC-lease

	He clampers hard
	on keys of sweet
	He is a bard
	from Evermeet

	He lost his soul
	to inter-fame
	throws lusers foul
	to crests of flame

	In castle high
	of pyro-proof
	the night is nigh
	and all aloof

	Of common sense
	he knoweth not
	his words are tense
	his views are hot

	Without the fear
	without the wane
	Computer gear
	and mind insane

	Hacking still
	in dark of night
	he has his will
	without a fight

	But lusers growl
	they still prevail
	one can but scowl
	and turn one's tail

	The faceless hordes
	of shitty stuff
	they shall be bored
	by fancy fluff

	Their lives so drab
	they cannot see
	beyond their Saab     (sorry about that)
	the lands of Free

	The bits and bytes
	or better yet,
	Men with the scythes
	on Internet!

Upon Small Crawling Machines that knoweth not
Of Multitasking, Flat Address Space of Thirty Two Bits,
Yea! Even Page'd Memory!
Upon Large Lumbering Machines, fast as Zeus'
Lightning itself! Spinning endless webs, 
Coding, Compiling, Linking, and doth Executing.

He wasteth Time! He feeds the Hungry Tract of

He posteth, and flameth, and createth Bogus Groups,
He Pisseth Off the Keepers of the Net.
He Ranteth in Meaningless Voice!

Lets faceit.  The only reason that all the security is necissary is
because of a few jerks that can't resist playing where they know they
ethically shouldn't be...I bet most of us can get into places we
shouldn't be but resist.  
I am frequently involved in research between universities and have had
almost no problem telneting to other peoples accounts.  I think that
you will find most computer dept's. cooperative if you get hold of
them before you need access, tell them who you are, what your doing,
whos account you will be accessing and have the person who owns the
account do the same.

I am looking for historical climate data such as temperature and degree
day
statistics for the United States for the past 10 - 15 years.  Is there an
Internet
accessible service that provides this information (pay or free)?

Thanks for any information.

The FreeNets are local bulletin boards that provide
access to each other and mail to the Internet. I don't
believe that they provide full ftp and telnet access.

The main one, the first one, is at Cleveland. You can
telnet there
	telnet freenet-in-a.cwru.edu

There are several others, including Peoria, Ill. (telnet
heartland.bradley.edu, login bbguest), Lorain County Ohio,
Tri-State Online (Cincinnati), Youngstown, Ohio.

I understand Denver opened one recently, and that many, many
other communities are considering them. I am sure the Cleveland
Freenet will have the latest info.
