There are those who appreciate beauty in mathematics. Of
course, I admit that there are probably those who find
beauty in chartered accountancy.

What to do? If people went after theft with zeal, the costs of
enforcement would initially go up (plus people who didn't really
deserve the full brunt would get it); but the long term effect
would probably be that costs would go down as the incidence
went down. The short-term pain, though, isn't really worth the
effort, according to most. There is a moral issue, perhaps, but
people aren't sure where to take moral issues these days (and I
will be the first to say that moral issues can be taken too far).

I remember not much about Waimea, except that there were no
surfers when we were there - it was completely glassy calm.
I do remember (fondly) Matsumoto Shave Ice in Haleiwa, though.

Yeah, when Carol and I are together and one of us eats
aromatic things, the rule is that the other must partake
as well. This includes onions and garlic and to a lesser
extent fish and curry.

      Title: Spicy Eggs
 Categories: Eggs, Brunch, Main dish
      Yield: 2 servings

     25 g  Butter
           -OR sunflower margarine
      2    Spring onions
           -- finely sliced
      1 ts Garam masala
      2    Tomatoes; skinned
           - and very finely chopped
      1 ts Turmeric (more if desired)
      3    Eggs; beaten
           Salt and pepper
           Coriander leaves to garnish

  This is a kind of scrambled eggs 'Indian Style': a stir-fry of spring
  onions and tomatoes is flavoured with garam masala and turmeric, and
  then the eggs are scrambled into the mixture. Lovely with chapatis and a
  mixed salad.

  Melt the butter or margarine in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and soften the
  spring onions over a gentle heat for 4-5 minutes. Then add the garam
  masala and the chopped tomatoes and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
  Season with the turmeric, salt and pepper and mix well, then pour in the
  eggs and begin to scramble them, stirring with a fork. When the eggs are
  lightly set but still moist - not dry and overcooked - serve at once on
  warm plates with a mixed salad and chapatis, garnished with fresh
  coriander leaves.

  To skin tomatoes:

  Put the tomatoes into a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to
  stand for 3-4 minutes, then the skin will peel off easily with a sharp
  knife.
