 NB>> I have noted a distinct likeness between Japanese and French cooking.

Never thought of it that way...  but then, I was, as you may have
surmised, been thinking more of the minimalist "art" form of French
cooking... ;)  

 ML>> It's difficult enough. Of course, the Northwest being eaten

Indeed.
 
 NB>> Cuckoo, to be sure... Pathological liars often do make their own lives

Not the pathological type... part of the definition is that that sort of
liar doesn't necessarily pay any attention to the falseness, often
patently obvious even when being stated, but as it comes out of the
mouth, believes it to be the truth... 
 
 NB>>> Perhaps not having received the attention he thought he'd get,
 NB>>> it was just easier to go back to driving... 
 ML>> I doubt it. The world goes on, and anything he does is only

 NB>> Maybe it was his therapist that went along just so far, and then
 NB>> talked him back into driving... dunno..  No fathoming some people,
 NB>> and not much use even trying sometimes...  ;)
 ML> Possibly; hard to speculate.

And probably useless besides... :)

 NB>> there's gases that exit the body through the tissues, especially
 NB>> up through the shoulders... a little known fact that a tech (IIRC)
 NB>> told me while prepping me for my first laparoscopic procedure...
 NB>> that might also explain your trouble with your arms...
 ML> That is very strange, but in my case I might be convinced
 ML> that it was a factor.

It could explain the muscle and other aches...
