Greetings,

Interesting.  The local baba ganouj is hummus based, but does include lemon
juice and yogurt (I'd neglected to mention those).

The Saitana folks enjoyed their tour of the library.  I demonstrated the
OhioLINK system to them (this is our newborn statewide online library
catalog that will eventually link 18 Ohio academic libraries, for those
that don't know), and we were able to find a couple of President
Horikawa's books.  This seemed to delight him no end, of course.

I wore one of my several ties featuring baseball motifs, since baseball is
the universal language.

I would think so.... why not use 'right on target'? That seems to me to be
more acceptable, although I'm sure the others on this list could come up with
something better and I'm curious to know why anyone hasn't yet.

Natalie, to the best of my knowledge, a chilled-water system is used for
air conditioning, and so the best time to fix it or do other maintenance
on it is when it's not hot out :-)  I'm not sure why the computer system 
is down because of the chilled water maint/fix, but maybe they're going
to be turning the big chillers on & off, and worry about power surges?
Or they're worried that a lack of a/c would crash the iron?  Is oogacooga
edyou run on mainframes or other hot-running machines?

"If it's a pain in the ass, you're doing it wrong."  The one time I
used a dataphone, from DFW the night in October I sent mail to you and
Judith, I used a New Jersey Bell card.  It has the same PIN number as
my old, unused AT&T card, which I will not use on principle.  The
stupid AT&T terminal took the card because it thought it was one of
its own; and since I was dialing into an 800 number anyway, it made no
difference.

Torkel,
  I can help you with four-o'clocks:  a four o'clock bush has bell-shaped
flowers that open up at roughly 4 P.M.  The colors are usually of the
pinkish-violet variety (the ones we had in Mogadore were magenta).  It is
best to pull the blossoms off the stem when the blossoms wilt; then the
bush will produce more flowers.  If you don't, a seed will form.

blommie, you can't get PCPursuit in time.  I'm not sure you want it, either.  
It's a monthly service (plus an initial fee), allotting you either of two
"plans" -- $30 for 30 hrs of off-peak connect time, or $50 for 60 hrs 
ditto.  Overtime off-peak costs $3/hr; on-peak is $10/hr and not counted
in your allotment; any number of on-peak seconds in a session means the 
whole session is counted as on-peak.  Off-peak is defined as 6pm to the
following 7 am (different from AT&T, note), and all day sat & sun.

Right now I can't use the service atall, atall, because logging into 
eniac through it gives me such garbage somewhere along the way that I
can't so much as transmit my password.  I've beat on them and beat on
them, but I've been unsuccessful on all wavelengths.  The university
doesn't know what the problem is either, and rashmi's been trying to
track down who in Bell of Pa I should call (during long-distance prime
time from here), without success either.

Which brings me to a sad conclusion: I may have to unsub from words-l
for a while, until things get back to usable.  I simply cannot afford
the megabucks it costs to read words-l each day.  If all else fails,
I may wind up with netcom out in California; their monthly charge would
be onerous (on top of the PCPursuit), but at least there'd be a usable
connection.  So if I disappear for a while, that's why.

The "what to call a lurker" discussion was carried on pacs-l: I didn't 
notice it being cross-posted.  Furthermore, most of the discussion was
-by- lurkers, speculating on what they might like to call themselves
if they decided to make any fuss about it (they mostly didn't: the
negative connotations were pretty much in the minds of the non-
lurkers, or 'mouthy').  Rita didn't get the whole story, at least
at the point she'd posted the excerpt.  And no, I don't think there
were -two- such discussions, as I recognized the bit she reposted.

Interesting; what's it a shot of exactly?  A scan from the videotape or
post-riot pleading?

Of course, anyone with a Mac would do much better to grab the QuickTime
movie from Sumex or wherever it is.  Makes a great startup scene for your
friends.

Oh, BTW Anne, how do you feel about Camille Paglia?
