Laz, "You don't want to hear about it. I swear I will never leave the good ole US of A again! You don't know what you have until you experience what even the best of the better has to offer." Yeah, right. So, when and where is your next Indiana Jones adventure gonna be? <g> "Beringer Vineyards in Napa Valley? " Now that sounds civilized AND fun! On the whole, I kinda prefer Trefethen and Sattui, assuming they are still there. There are also the Smothers Brothers and Pat Paulsen Vineyards. I wonder about Korbell, another great. "At present have no plans of ever again crossing the US border." Hmmmmmm . . . we shall see. When are your doctor appointments? <vbg> "Early next week, I hope. I have one infection that should excite any doc worth his sheepskin. Plus a couple other problems." Oh, GAWD! I KNEW it!! OH, GAWD!!! Be sure to take pictures. BTW, how are those letters coming along? <vbg> "CHADDAP! :-)" Say, how about posting some samples of those hieroglyphics produced by the computers over yonder? They were great! I now think I can qualify as an official codebreaker. <g> "Can't find 'em." I still have some of the really twisted ones. I can email them to you and, if you like, you can post them at your discretion. "For the info of those not in the know, for reasons unknown I couldn't access SI from overseas, Dave would not respond to my pleas (Dave?), and Holly's was the only email addy I could remember. I don't take 'puters to strange countries, so she had to listen to all my travails. You should all thank her mightily that it was her and not you." I was happy to "listen" and I am not into Schadenfreude, in any way, shape, or form. I still say it was the public computers not accepting SI cookies that kept you from logging in. To the thread: Laz was there for the Great Izmir Earthquake turkishpress.com Nothing compared to '89 in Silicon Gulch. sometimes spelled "Izmýr," according to the output of the computers in Turkish Internet cafes and hotels, and sometimes spelled other ways. Hey, when it comes to consistent spelling, Shakespeare has nothin' on 'em! "Tccccch. They seem to have gotten buried in the pile. Those Turkish computers do do weird things though, don't they? :-)" Yes, quite amusing. That it was unintentional made it all the more amusing, at least to me, for I am truly sick and warped. <g> - Holly
