Stitch- just want to say that I enjoyed this post, as I have enjoyed many of your posts of life in Malaysia. Now, OT question- what is your thinking on Applied Magnetics at this time? Thanks Tony

My god you lazy dog...lolling about in the sun, digging in your garden. It has now changed to rain here. The snow is melting and tonight it is forecasted to be below zero. So. This will mean that while you bask in the delights of Ramadan my world here will be a great ice rink of blue black ice. Imagine me crawling out to my fird feeder on all fours clutching my red plastic quart container of sun flower seeds. I have found a great new book store in New York that sells what re termed "remaindered" books. Wierdly, the condition oft the book world here, to which I am much attached, publishes 45,000 books a year. Only a very small fraction of the pubklished books here actually find their way into book stores. So. One of the chief delights of our time in which vast quantities of great books are published but which never get seen, is going to "remainder" book shops where the real history of our times are revealed on the remaindr tables. For many years Marlboro and then Barnes and Noble carried on this wonderful trade but they have since gone out of the business in a meaningful way. I go to Colorade Springs for most of my great remainder books... such are the habits of a manic bibliomaniac. But now I have discovered a tiny book shop in the Soho section of NYC just above Canal Street. In this shop I bought a truly wonderful book: The Traveler: "An American Odyssey in the Himalyas", by Eric Hansen and photographs of Hugh Swift. The book is an eulogy to Hugh Swift who before his death in 1991 had walked 15,000 miles alone in the Himalaya with a minimum of equipment and suppleis. It is Hugh Swift who wrote the standard walking books on the Himalaya published by the Sierrra Club. A wonderful man. You should try and get the book. Hugh Swift was a simply lovely man. All is well here. America seems to be a bastion, a city on a hill, in world that is ful of trouble and turmoil. My puckish self.... has decided that I am going to post every single negative bit of information I find on the subject of the roiling of Asia to dear Lawrence on this foruum. I have discovered some juicy bits from the Times year end wrap up of the year. I'm sure he will just delight in these scraps of negativity. My best to you dear man, Clark Nb. Did you know thqt in Switzerland and Austria you have to have "road permits". You don't have them the gestapo like highway cops give you automatic $100 road fines. The great thing about this is that no one tells you you nee these road permits. Try arguing with a six foot five leather clad BMW Austiran highway patrolman with an uzi. Ah, the delights of vacationing.
