QUESTION: I just walked into the kitchen of the new house and a man was putting up a stone wall????? I went and asked Armin why he was doing that..all the walls that we need are already there??? He said it's for where the refrigerator will be later. WELL we had just decided yesterday to get a side by side and it would go on a TOTALLY different wall! Armin is obviously confused from overwork! He had the man tear it down, thank god it was still wet cemet. He's making me VERY Nervous. So what's planned for the weekend? We have a 3 day one, holiday on Monday. We're having our good by americans party tomorrow here at the building...it's so sad to see them all go. Today is ISOLDE's birthday (armin's mom) I'm not going there though..I think I will just stay here and drink a glass of wine, you know...one I can enjoy BECAUSE I AM NOT having to spend time with her. WRITE ME!

QUESTION: ...try not to get the juice in your eyes, it really stings Well, I'm sure you've already heard through Mom...but I think things may be kaput with Ted. I say "think" because he hasn't said anything one way or the other, it's just a vibe I have. So I don't think you guys are going to have a chance to meet him while your in Houston. Oh well, it was definitely fun while things were going well so I suppose I should focus on that. I just want to know why guys can be such, as dad would say, chicken shits (excuse my language but the description fits). But enough about me...So how are things with you guys. I hope all is well and that you're taking full advantage of all the 'culture' surrounding you. We went to the first football game of the season Saturday (against Louisiana Lafayette). Texas won 52-10, and you wouldn't know if from the score but the 1st quarter was a little bit scarey (0-10). Simms started the game but only played about 2 series before they yanked him and put Applewhite in to put some points on the board. Simms did come back in the second half and through a touch-down pass. The family's good and we're all excited to see you guys in the near future. Write back soon, Susan ******** Humor is the best medicine. ******** So I'm thinking of taking the T-shirt Ted gave me from Beaver Creek and writing this on the back of it... I dated Ted Noble and all I have to show for it is this lousy T-shirt. Dont'cha love it?

QUESTION: I had an interesting conversation with Mark Courtney today, this time about something that doesn't cost us money. He has gained a good bit of experience on transmission availability in NW New Mexico from the Gallup electric contract negotiation. His take on transmission constraints is consistent with what Kevin and I had suspected: Alb. is a load pocket and the prevailing flow is west to east into Alb. Constraints only affect west to east flows and a generator in Alb. could always move power to four corners by displacement. Courtney has worked with an ENA transmission guy named Steve Walton who apparently has more experience with the 230Kv transmission lines that had the problem that led to the recent blackouts in Alb. If we are not talking to him already, he would be another guy worth talking to.
