Ärende: Dinner out
==================
Hi Ruth,

-> earlier than that in the winter, but even in summer, not really enough
-> of an obvious change in daylight hours.
 RH> ->
 RH> Around here in the winter it's fully dark at 5PM, unless it's earlier.

Been there, done that. Berlin used to be dark by 4ish or so in the
winter.  OTOH, in the summer, it would stay light until alomost 11pm and
start getting light again between 3 & 4 am.

-> Very big--but if we don't watch it, we will be very big too. (G)

I'm usually into stuff up to my forehead or deeper.  Trying to figure
out when to shut down shop for outside sewing projects before we move,
probably NLT the end of June.

-> especially Oahu, ground that used to absorb a lot of the water has been
-> covered over by housing or roads.  With no place for the water to go,

 RH> That'll do it.

Yes, the sugar cane fields are all gone now, pineapple seems to be
heading that way too.

-> hear about the sewage pipe break/spill in Honolulu?  That has caused a

I think I did see something about that.  Sounds like some of the
potholes we have.

-> There were only 2 dining facilities for the whole school at Houghton.
-> Sophomore guys and up could live off campus & some of them had kitchen

 RH> UConn left it up to the students.  Frosh pretty much lived in dorms,

Difference between a public (state) school and private (smaller) one.

-> I don't know; my dad spent the war in the Navy & started his coffee
-> drinking afterward--when he went to college.

 RH> Hmmm - he wasn't a submariner then.

No, topside.  Moved into an office when the captain saw that he had a
high school education and a few college classes.


->  RH> Then you've got a built-in excuse to try boiled peanuts.

-> I've tried them before (remember, we used to live in NC?) and like them.

Looks like Dale is sending the "how tos" for fixing them, now all you
have to do is find the peanuts.
