Hi Michael,

 RH> It is making me wonder if there are any state governments that aren't
 RH> messed up.

 ML> Haven't heard of any. Vermont, maybe.

It probably has its share of quirksand oddities too.  I've got some
friends up there i could email & find out. (G)

 ML> Castles have the same economic pressures on them that everyone
 ML> else does!
 RH> And more so to some extent.  A lot of European titles are now more in
 RH> name only or name and a bankrupt estate.  Castle tours are a common
 RH> way of making money I understand.

 ML> If you actually expect to use the things, they are impossible
 ML> to heat and keep from the damp. Not to mention clean and
 ML> maintain, when you have to pay your help at least a living wage.

And there's no such magazine as "Good Castlekeeping" for advice on how
to keep it clean and free of damp, tho any good castle does have a keep.
(G)

 RH> Makes you wonder what they discused.

 ML> The princess was, at least at the beginning, rather unpretentious
 ML> and candidly admitted that she wasn't the sharpest knife in the
 ML> drawer. The non-princess (who at one time wanted to marry me, so
 ML> you figure she had to be bright) had a master's of law from Yale
 ML> and a doctorate in the law from Harvard. They probably complimented
 ML> each other on their hats.

Probably didn't exchange recipies then.

 ML>       Title: Napoleon's Hat Cookie Mix (From Scandinavia)
 ML>  Categories: Cookies, Swedish
 ML>       Yield: 36 servings

Didn't know that Napoleon got that far north. (G)
