I don't think Emma _Emma_ or Elizabeth _Pride and Prejudice_ fit
the description for one of these suppressed Victorian women. Or, maybe Austen

Eugene, eugene, eugene,

At least this is better advice than that posted by Dick Cleek who stated
that "making noise will scare most bears away."

While in southcentral Alaska this summer (early July) a woman was killed
in Glen Allen Springs (25 miles up a major highway, north east of Anchorage)
by a black bear who forced her and her husband out of their cabin and up
onto the roof. The husband jumped and ran to a boat to cross the small
lake and get a neighbor with a gun. By the time they returned, she was
disembowled. It is unclear whether the bear forced her off the roof or
she fell. The bear was destroyed.

During the same three weeks in Alaska a 6 year old native boy was "taken"
by a brown (grizzly) near King Salmon in the Aleutian Range (about 800
miles southwest of Anchorage.) He was walking to school with his mother
and a 10 year old sister when the brown broke from some alders and took
him. By the time they returned with someone with a gun the boy had
been almost completely eaten. Again the bear was destroyed.

(Are you seeing a couple of common threads yet?)

And, a brown was tranqualized in downtown Anchorage, near Earthquake
Park while the wife and I were there, in fact, not too far from our
hotel! We were actually salmon fishing at the junction of the Kenai
and Russian Rivers on the Kenai Pennisul when it all happened. Bottom
line, as far as bears are concerned Eugene presents good advice. Always
be prepared. Gary Larson (Far Side) has a great cartoon showing a shark
standing at the waters edge yelling "Bear! Bear!" at the sunbathers.

I do disagree with Eugene that most of Alaska is no longer a wilderness.
I think once you get out of sight of the paved roads, it is very much a
wilderness and that is a good thing. Unlike the wilderness here in LA
when you get into some of the urban areas:)

And, as for NEXP, I too watched the season opener and, as someone who
had recently been to the "real" Alaska, thought Maggie would be a far
more prepared and well equiped camper than she was.

Ummm...I think you are all over analizing a tv show.

I wouldn't worry about how long he's been there and how much longer he
has...as in other tv shows, the writers will keep it going as long as
it's getting the rating points.

For example, a number of the 'gifted' students in "Head of the Class"
were in HS for the whole run of the show which was something like 7 real 
years.

NEXP sent out on Saturdays??  I always thought that the networks broadcast
shows the nights they're scheduled to air.  If NEXP is sent out on Saturdays,
that means that the local CBS afiliate here in San Antonio can mess with the
schedule.  Here, we have a problem with network affiliates not showing
the shows from their respective networks.  The CBS station takes first prize-
we don't get CBS latenight here.  But all 3 stations have a bad record of
blocking out prime time shows in favor of some local program- and in some
cases the pre-empting is planned well in advance because any promos for
a particular network show are cut as well.  They act like they're doing us
a big favor when they do this.

It's just like NX to put that line in here in that way. By making
the "I'll" easy to miss, it gives each of us the chance to see it
the way we want to believe it. With and without the "I'll" the lines

I would expect the Arctic circle to be the southern limit of the area affected
by the midnight sun.  Therefore, a location directly on the Arctic circle would
have one day per year when the sun never set (June 21 or 22) and one day per
year when the sun never rose (Dec 21 or 22).  Since Cicely experienced several
days where the sun never set, it should be above the Arctic cirlce.  Am I
mistaken?

From what I have noticed, the show's time frame and "real life"ie, the number
of years it has been on) is not the same.  Last season, Marilyn asked Joel if
he wanted to renew his New Yorker(or some such magazine) subscription, and she
asked if he wanted 4 more years.  His reply was something to the effect that he
only had 3 years and change left.  This after the show had been on for nearly
two seasons.  I'm not sure how long he's been theri in the shows time frame.  
It could be that we haven't seen the long days and short nights, or else none 
oisodes have taken place during that time of the year.

Not sure how many people know this already, so I'll post it. If you want to
see a fabulous performance from John Cullum, rent the movie "1776." I forget
which character he plays, but he gives a riveting performance singing the
song "Molasses to Rum to Slaves."

If you don't have a VCR, pester one of your local independent tv stations to
show the movie during the July 4th holiday.

Apparently, John Collum has appeared in OACDYCSF, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't
the moive version with Barbara Streisand.  The psychiatrist in that one was
an actor with a foreign surname and an ACcent.

If you ask me, which you didn't, but I'll give my opinion anyway, the
closing song was totally out of character from the quality fare I've 
come acccustomed to hearing.  The song I am referring to is the
Happy Birthday ditty which smacked just a bit too much of that Mickey
Mouse Happy Birthday version (Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy
Happy Birthday to you ... repeat ad nauseum).  In short, it sucked.
I was generally pleased with the show, though, except for the fact
that the "independent women" thread which has accounted for a large
percentage of the postings recently will most certainly be envigorated
even moreso with people interpretting and reinterpretting Maggie's
internal struggle.

I got the impression that the day before, night/day were normal, then
suddenly, blam, no more night.  Not the way reality works, but everyone
seemed to have caught the disease all at the same time.

And as far as north/south of the circle, couldn't you have daylight 24
hours without having the sun up all the time?  Sort of like having
sunset/sunrise merge into each other over a 2 hour period?  If so,
then you can get the effects of sun-madness while being below the
circle.
