Gidday Jay. NZ is still out of the loop. No Sar Wars here yet. <fashionably ensembled in medical mask and surgical gloves> There's no need for surgical gloves. Just wash hands before putting food in mouth. Hands can get filthy as anything with no problem. But what there is need for is eye protection. Cute little spray drops land on eyes, drain to bottom of lid, drain into the ducts which lead into the nasal passages which drain into the throat, where they are swallowed, causing SARS. Years ago, in England, I was discussing how we don't have glass screens between tellers and customers. Or maybe it was a ticket seller or something. She pointed out the mess of tiny drips or spittle on the customer side of the glass. I realized then what a filthy business it is talking to people up close and personal. Especially if they sneeze!!! But how about when they bring your food, telling you the potatoes and peas and tomatoes are delicious, with the p and t sounds being plosives involving little drops of mouth spray? Forget the gloves. Wear the goggles. I went to my golf club the other day with my full face mask and filters. They got really excited. At first thinking of Osama, but then I explained about Sar Wars and they had a hilarious time. I had my sunglasses on under my full face mask [a 3M model which I bought several years ago for just in case I need it reasons]. I also had a hat on [but not in the club rooms, as hats are not allowed inside]. I also had my Globalstar phone, with the dirty great aerial up. It's easy to amuse people out in provincial New Zealand. Especially out at Waitakere Golf Course. The city clubs wouldn't be so amused... toffee-nosed. So, get the goggles! They are also fun and you can get sunglass models too. If you can't get goggles, you could use sunglasses, with duct tape around the edges to seal them up. But that could cause fogging of the lenses. My mask has an ingenious inhalation system which keeps the transparent face dry; under the conditions I've used it in anyway. Mqurice

<The foliage along the cliff is vibrantly green, brightened by the polarized light filtered through the generous clouds and then reflected from the mirror-like ocean.> Haha!! Engineers discussing beauty in terms of polarized light, filtration and reflections. My polarized filter sunglasses take the sheen right off the water and epidermis of leaves and Waitakere golf course is absolutely beautiful on a sunny day with fluffy white clouds viewed through my sunglasses. Rosellas, rabbits, wood pigeons, fan tails, cockatoos, magpies, pheasants, put some life in the scene as well as the forests and occasional white 747s etc heading for Oz in the blue, blue sky. We have no dust in the atmosphere and it's sharp! Things are looking okay. G324, Q340 with Uncle Al's $ having a bit of fun, tormenting both the Aztecs and the Cyberspacoids. I have a heap of his $, so that's no bad thing. Summer is drawing quickly to a close, with the air cooler, but the weather beautiful. I like to keep score - my graph on Sar Wars casualties here. Message 18805097 They will soon exceed not just the coalition deaths, but perhaps the Iraqi military deaths and maybe even civilian deaths too. Mqurice
