I think my wife saw the same program.

I was amazed how good she looked after 17 years of refugee camps, 4 kids, poverty and warfare.

I was saddened by how she looked after 17 years of refugee camps, 4 kids, poverty and warfare.

She is only approx. 28-30 years old now and has lived through 100 life times of pain and suffering.
She could write one heck of a book if she could write.

Scott,

the friend that I told you about that has all of the Motorcycles almost bought the Farm the other day. I was out of town and he was riding with two friends on his Slash 5 BMW. It seems that he decided to go a little fast and caught gravel at about 65 or 70 mph. He was wearing Kevlar clothing and a very expensive helmet. This it seems saved his life. The Kevlar held togeather. The jacket's outer panel was demolished but the inner shell remained intact. I haven't seen it but they say it should be in a commercial for the maker. He received a broken collar bone, three broken ribs, two broken fingers(and lost the tip of a thumb) but, he lived. The motorcycle is in intensive care.

I guess the point is, be careful and buy expensive clothing to ride, even on joy rides.

Please p.m. me the address for the water project, I'll send money.

JA

NNBM Mystery Song of the Day

mywebpages.comcast.net

yesterday we had ONE. today we have GO!
...only the first seven notes per clappy's
request. it's posted to you scoot because
you'll know it, but who performed it and
who wrote it can be tricky. especially
since you'll only see it in hieroglyphics. <VBG>

i'll post the rest of the tune sometime during
the day.

here is a great hint that will probably
give away the title but the other questions
will require research by the clapper, who wasn't
born yet: i was singing this exactly
39 years ago today, though it wasn't written
or recorded until the next year.

(and YES, clappy, it DID hit the top 40...
BTW, back then it was the nifty 50, not
the top 40)

the usual questions...

1) title?
2) performers?
3) writer?
4) when? (easy, since i gave it away above)
5) how high did it go in the nifty 50?
6) any other interesting trivia?
