==============================
Well Hi there Michael!

->  -> As well you might. I never figured out why we fussed at the
->  -> critters that eat carrion; after all, we do that ourselves,
->  -> don't we.
->  HN> indeed...perhaps not quite so well aged as the vultures et all
->  HN> though.! 
-> 
-> They eat what they can get. I actually doubt that they
-> evolved the taste for eating really aged meat, as if
-> they waited around for a long time, someone else would
-> have gotten to it first.

I'm not sure if they even have a sense of taste...which might be more of a 
hinderance than a blessing in this case! (grin) Great sense of smell though!

->  HN> I think if that happened to me I'd just drain the system...forget it
->  HN> and switch to some other system like baseboard heaters or 
something.
-> 
-> I am not sure of the reasoning for repairing such an apparatus
-> as opposed to just making a new one.
-> 
Doesn't make sense to me either!

->  -> I remember the special bus, which worked well enough, but it
->  -> sure was crowded.
->  HN> They like the term "fully utilized ridership"! (grin)
-> 
-> When I was young and resilient I envisioned a system with few
-> seats, and most passengers being straphangers. Didn't think it
-> would be horrendous (which I do think now).
-> 
You're older, smarter, and not quite as sturdy as you were then....I'm in the 
same boat, so let's each have an oar and carry on!(grin)

-> I've been on transit systems, most notably on one that is
-> not altogether far from yours, where it is forbidden to
-> be a standee on the buses and trains.
-> 
Well then it certainly wouldn't be full of happy customers during rush
hour...or 
maybe it would be everyone on board would be happy to be sitting...it's the 
extra folk left on the platform who'd not be so happy!

->  -> That'll be interesting. Might make it worthwhile for you
->  -> to park at Sea-Tac or someplace and take the train in when
->  -> you wanted to go to Pike Place.

The train leaves right from the building where my workspace is located...so 
I'd park right in the same garage that's across the street from it.

->  HN> Anne took the Sounder Train to Seattle today ($8.00 for a day pass
->  HN> which is  also good on busses) for some School district thingy at the
->  HN> State Convention  Center. Since there's about 7 inches of snow on 
the
->  HN> ground I'm glad she's on  the train!
-> 
-> That's a lot of snow for you guys. You get the feline
-> rear award for that - the cat ass trophy.
-> 
And most of it is still here, we've had a very (for here) severe cold snap and 
right now (5:27 am) it's only 23 degrees out. They say we may get some 
more on Tuesday, which might cost Annie another day of school...with the 
hills around here you don't want to be on the road in icy snowy conditions if 
you don't HAVE to be!

-> The Francis
-> cat: booze
-> servings: 1
-> 
-> 1/2 c ripe mango flesh; cubed
-> 1/4 c crushed pineapple
-> 1 T lime juice
-> 1 t sugar
-> 2 T cream
-> 1 1/2 oz rum
-> 1/2 c crushed ice
-> 1 ds triple sec
-> 
-> Combine first 7 ingredients in a blender and blend well.
-> Pour into a glass and top with a dash of orange liqueur.
-> 
-> This drink was invented for Francis Ford Coppola, who was
-> filming the movie Apocalypse Now there.
-> 
-> Toby's Beach Club Bar and Restaurant, Subic Bay, Philippines
-> 
Hmmm, looks interesting...might also be as good or better if tequila were 
subbed for the rum!
chat with you soon
