You hear these used synonymously?  I would not think to use
"standing on line" to refer to people in a file--only abreast, as on
a battle line, starting line, or something of the sort.

What Happened To Me In Quintana Roo 6
----------------------------------------
24) Turned down tour of Isla Mujeres, because it cost $48.
Went instead to pier downtown on bus and found out ticket on
ferry was $13 round trip and decided to go next day Monday.
More shopping in market and KMart to stay cool.  Then more
staying in room to read Chinese novels and roaming around hotel
after hours, jumping in the pool and rolling in the sand.
25) Got up Monday and caught ferry to Isla Mujeres, arriving at
11 a.m. to a very Mexican town, with shops for tourists lining
every street.  heat is at about 110 degrees and humidity is
surely above 110 percent.  Walk down street and find shade of
a tree to sit in, both feeling (seriously) the onset of serious
heatstroke.  tc prays for rain, and immediately the sky clouds
over and we run to the nearby beach and bathe feet in water,
thanking the local Mayan god for the gift of an overcast sky,
which reduced the temperature to about 95 degrees.  Get on a
city bus which tours most of the island and shows us quite
blatantly that Mexico is resolutely and irreparably an inhabitant
of the third world, in spite of all the Chamber of Commerce glitz
and glamour of the zona hotelera of Cancun.  All of which
moves tc to question why the Mexicans cant be like the Belgians,
for example, or the Dutch.....  why can't they make it pretty while
they are looking around for something to *eat*?????   ggs is
as usual <speechless> and finds his voice rising when he tries to
answer this tc who would be very quick to <let them eat cake>....
(knowing, as he does, that she *does* know better.... it is the
heat that makes her say such a thing....)  The Mayan god is getting
tired of the clouds and we run to the ferry to get on the water
before our skin peels off in <chunks> in front of the happy, merry
local residents who obvious *love* tourists.....
26) On the boat, tc suggests recommending to the colleague-who-kissed-
ggs-on-the-cheek a trip to Isla Mujeres it is *so* lovely!  At midday,
please it is the best time to see the sights, on foot.....

I don't know, but Martin Gardner certainly would.  He's dealt with similar

I just discovered that I can have Procomm Plus opened twice and be

I did it by accident at first.  Because of typical stupidity, I opened
PCPLUS from BIGDOS while already in it via Desqview.  I didn't dial
or anything but was online in the same login.  I then closed the
Desqview one but was still online via the other one.  Out of curiosity,
I just opened PCPLUS again in DV and discovered that I'm now online in
both windows.  STrange.  Actually, probably not strange at all to the

I didn't watch much of either convention, I have to say.  I did
see Gore and Clinton's speeches, and bits of others.  I happened
to have watched more of the Republicans.  I saw almost every minute
of Gramm's speech, and Lynn Martin's.  I thought they were incredibly
*bad* speakers.  This is a judgement of the speeches as speeches, not
for content, except where the content was contrary to known fact.

Quayle's speech was okay, but his delivery was embarrassing to watch.
Bush was a little better--my attention was definitely wandering.  Bush
sort of always gives B+ speeches.  This was better than the norm.

Maybe we should elect more democrats because they are better speakers?
