Hi Carol,

RH> Sort of thought they might have collectables there; it sounded like
RH> there was the possibility thereof. I know the PXs in Europe also sold

 CS> Naw. Far as I can tell, the ones here are the cheap stuff for export
 CS> to 'other places'.

As in the USA?  Remember how "Made in Japan" was a sign of cheap stuff?
Now they do quality work and the cheap stuff is made in China.

 CS> None of us did.  It's a technical book on UNIX software.  Not your
 CS> normal book report stuff and definately odd for her age group.

 CS> She got a B+ with a side note that she'd done very well with the

RH> Sounds like she redeemed herself somewhat.  Advanced classes usually
RH> don't kick in until high school except for the talented and gifted

 CS> Same here.  They sent a flyer with 'summer school' (wel laced that
 CS> this isnt remedial but obviously is for that purpose) but it's only at
 CS> Hario 40 miles away and 'no transportation'.  Cant do it as I'm at sea
 CS> all that time.

Too bad--there's no way anybody else is going she could ride with?

 CS> bit and go military for a time.  You get big breaks on your grades
 CS> when you ask for college entrance then.  Tech school might suit her
 CS> better.

RH> Possibly--she would get college credits for her military training. I
RH> talked to Deborah last night; she's still not ruled out the possibilit
RH> of becoming an officer.  /she was going thru a Wendy's drive thru so I
RH> way to class eating.  Also talked to Rachel & she said I "had" to have
RH> Steve take me to the peach proccessing plant she and David took him to
RH> several years ago and I "had to have" the peach cobbler with peach ice
RH> cream. (G)  Peaches may be scarce this year because of the cold weathe
RH> we had in early April tho.


 CS> Peach cobbler? I've had that once or twice. Not a major fan though.

I like it, especially made with fresh sweet peaches.  I'm debating doing
a cobbler for the echo picnic, using whatever local fruit is available
in MD in late July.

RH> Sounds like it might be the thing for helping her make a decision, eve
RH> if it is a bit pricy.  Would it be in conjunction with your move?  I'd
RH> probably be bored stiff (G) but Steve would enjoy it.

 CS> On SANs, you would probably be bored. Truth is this would be a dream
 CS> vacation for me and Steve, if given the option, would love it I am
 CS> sure.  Major GEEK stuff all 24/7 going on. Very little else going on.

He would; I'd bring a portable sewing machine and stay in the h/motel
room working on a project or two.

 CS> If there was good food too, I was too busy to notice what I was
 CS> eating.

Probably stuff you could eat with one hand, keeping the other one free
for trying the latest geek stuff. (G)

RH> emergency leave in the next few days--Dad (85 years old) is  having
RH> unanticipated surgery today/tomorrow.  Steve just called me to remind
RH> to tell Mom when I talk to her to go thru Red Cross if the need for us
RH> to go up on emergency leave arises.

 CS> Don's got a mouth infection and if the antibiotics dont fix it, we
 CS> mayu be gone really fast to a relatively local area (Okinawa or
 CS> Yokosuka) to get it worked on. Bad teeth is all it is.

Still, anything in the mouth hurts.  Dad came thru surgery OK; he had to
have gall bladder surgery in 2 stages.  They thought they could do it
all laproscopically but couldn't do the 2nd one that way so he got the
big cut.  It means he'll be in the hospital longer and a longer recovery
time.
