Who? What? Alice Spring? Isn't that somewhere in Australia?

Thoroughly confused, I sent a reply asking who they were and where I knew her from, and received a reply from our friend the Postmaster.

More news was released today for TiRR, apparently. If you know who TiRR are, do tell, as I don't have the dejection to put it into Google.

Route back was the same in reverse order, starting in American Fork instead. First off, we left late. Nothing surprising with my family. We were supposed to leave at 3 pm Friday. We left at 8, after a stop at the Hawthorne Safeway and Fred Meyer. My father drove up 39th Ave, then hopped onto the Banfield Freeway. At about 50th Avenue, the freeway has an interesting trailblazer sign: On top, the blue interstate cardinal sign (East), then the US 30 shield, and on bottom the I-84 shield. The speed signs still say 55 in the Portland Metro area. As soon as the 84 clears the mile-long interchange with I-205, it switches names from the Banfield to the Columbia River Highway. At this point, it's simply known locally as the 84. Six lanes till exit 16-- two lanes drop at the interchange, then the freeway crosses the Sandy River and enters the Columbia River Gorge. From Exit 17 to about Exit 40, US 30 is not signed with I-84 on the trailblazers, despite being marked as duplexed on my 1989, 1997, 1999 (no longer in my possesion-- traded out for the 1989) and 2004 Portland Metro Thomas Guide and in my 2003 Pacific NW Thomas Guide Atlas, as well as noted on Mike Wiley's site. Exit 35 is a left exit for the parking lot for Multnomah Falls; the parking lot sits between the mainlines, with pedestrian access to the Falls under the eastbound lanes. As soon as the Historic Columbia River Highway joins with the 84, the US 30 shields appear under the I-84 shields again. At Exit 179, I-82 branches north toward the Tri-Cities of Washington. I-82 in Oregon, looking at my Pac NW TG, is marked opposite of its cardinal direction. Traveling east on 82 from Washington is actually headed southwest. While there isn't much point in suggesting this, it'd be more logical to mark I-82 in Oregon as north-south. Of course, the entire point might be made moot if ODOT and the state take the idea of an I-7 seriously at all. Here's to hoping!

I'm sick of all the French and German junks I'm getting. Sorry, Continental Europe, but until I have a cult Polish following, there'll be nowt but English up here.

English is partly French derived, partly Germanic, so you might understand some still!

Ach, who am I kidding? You speak better English than me, and I'm not even American!

Company hit two gas wells in Alaska. News after the close

What? Why? Do I look like I want to know about stocks and shares in a strange, blurry .gif format? Well, I don't know actually, what would that look like? ...No! Not me!

Well, I'm finally planning the First Campout. Me, my daughter, another single-mom friend and her daughter. Neither of us adults has a whole lot of experience at this; I'm just now negotiating to buy a nice big canvas tent secondhand. I do remember figuring out how to put one together a couple of times, oh, about 20 years ago :-). But I've never really camped by myself, that is planned it all, and never with kids. This will be in October, when Austin-area weather is finally cooled off, and will be in a nearby state park, which does have water facilities. I'm not sure and will be looking to find out what kind of bathroom facilities if any. I know this has been discussed but I don't seem to have saved any files about it. I'm looking for advice: what to take, what to cook (my friend is vegetarian and just now swore off cheese and chocolate -- ACK!) or maybe just bring food and not plan to cook. Surely atleast eggs/potatoes in the morning. What will I not think of? Like, I know to bring sunblock and mosquito repellant, and an air mattress for my old creaky body :-), sleeping bags, pillows, um. What else? What are some good things to plan to do? Nature hike, yeah, and singalongs around a campfire. Oh yeah, bring matches :-)! any other suggestions?? We took Shana camping for the first time a couple months ago (she was just over a year). I'd think it's a lot easier with an older kid.... If you are going car camping, you can bring a big ol' cooler stuffed full of frozen juice boxes or bottles of water, all of which can serve both to keep other stuff cool and as drinks. Folding chairs are a nice luxury. Paper towels. Duct tape. Firewood. Marshmallows, coathangers to toast them on, graham crackers and Hershey bars for s'mores. toilet paper. We have a coleman lantern which is wonderful in the evening for lighting up board games (scrabble when it's just adults, pictionary otherwise). This requires special fuel and a bit of expertise to keep running, so if you get one, practice at home first. Bring sport bottles to use as canteens when you go on hikes, and make sure everyone has sunhats. Oh, and a swiss army knife is a nice thing to have around even when you're back in the city. I use mine at least once a day here in the wilds of Pasadena ;-)

Is this yours? I couldn't find it on Google, so sod knows how it got into my emails...

Keep an eye on it

According to this email, oil demand is exceeding OPEC supplies. They seemed quite excited about it.

Dave writes: On the other hand, I felt like a total zombie yesterday, and today I have yet to make it out of bed (it's 1pm now). I think my cold was donated To update y'all on my Sickness Status, at least partly because nobody's been posting anything (HEY EVERYBODY WHERE ARE YOU), here's how things went for me: Thursday: A slightly sore throat. Friday: Sore throat, coughing, feeling generally run-down. So of course I stayed out until 1:30am after some good energetic runs around downtown Shinjuku chasing after buses. Saturday: Did not get out of bed. Sunday: Did not get out of bed...until about 1:30pm, when I hauled my laundry to the laundromat, then went back to bed. Then I was roused again to help my new neighbor (Hi Drew!) move in. Back to the laundromat to toss my clothes in the dryer, more moving, back to the laundromat again to take my clothes out of the dryer, more moving, then dinner. And then, bed. Monday: Did not OVERLY feel like getting up, but decided that I should at least show willing. Trudged into work, watched amazing package utilities which did such a thorough job that they eradicated /etc, decided partway through the OS reinstall that maybe I should have followed my first instinct and stayed in bed. Tuesday: Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head. Managed to actually be sufficiently together to remember that I had a job interview today, and remembered to put on a suit. Forgot to polish my shoes though, oops. The young lady, on the other hand, had a different technique for Battling Disease. For her it was: Tuesday: Start coughing. Ouch, that hurts. Isn't it not supposed to hurt? Wednesday, Thursday: Still coughing. I'll just tough it out. Friday: Still coughing. It's really bad. I know, I'll spend the weekend in Kyoto! How about starting by catching the overnight bus (see "running around Shinjuku" above). Saturday, Sunday: Major tourism. This does wonders for a sick person, no doubt. Very invigorating. Sunday night: Bus from Kyoto back to Tokyo! Leaves Kyoto at 11:30 Sunday night, gets to Tokyo at 6:30 in the morning! Whee! Just the perfect place to convalesce. Monday: Trudge into work. Talk to people really slowly. Barely muster up energy to type. Leave work at noon, disappear somewhere after complaining about "having difficulty breathing" (thus scaring the crap out of me). Also having difficulty being coherent. Tuesday: Finally getting the idea: didn't get out of bed. In her words: "shakes, no chills. v. odd. no appetite, couldn't eat lunch". (Note that she normally writes pretty well the same way that I do, in complete sentences and with capital letters. The all-lowercase and sentence fragments were quite alarming.) So, you all will be absolutely amazed to learn that if you're sick, it's better to go to bed and stay there early than to, for example, decide to go visit the other side of the country, sightseeing. Unfortunately, owing to the "disappear after Having Difficulty Breathing" incident, I went straight from being too sick to think straight to being too worried to think straight. Which happened to be the state of mind I was in when I went into the job interview. Oh well! At least I have a *current* job! --Dave

If I can have it, so can you! Apparently, they've got all the answers.

Recipe: Overnight Whole grain cereal


Here's an easy way to make whole grain breakfast cereal. It's based on
something I found in the Deaf Smith Country Cookbook years ago. Easy
and requires nothing other than a stovetop and a pan with a cover. I
used to make it all the time.

It's great because:

Don't have to watch for the boiling over
makes multiple portions
cooked grains can be included in another meal
can nuke a portion


1 part mixed whole grains (e.g. wheat berries, oats,
buckwheat, hulled barley, rye, millet, etc.)
3 parts water
1/3 part raisins (optional)

Boil water
Add grains [and raisins, if using them]
Stir
Bring to boil again
Turn off heat
Cover pot
Leave overnight as is [or in a warm oven]

(NOTE: I usually add raisins to already cooked cereal because
I like the texture. They turn out differently if they are
added in the cooking stage. They plump up and are really soft,
which is nice sometimes. I guess other types of dried fruit
might work too.)

You can reheat this in the morning or eat it at room temp.
Suggested toppings included any of the following:

milk-type stuff
molasses
fruit
sesame salt
maple syrup



One variation the cookbook suggests is toasting and then
grinding the grains in a hand grinder before cooking.
Apparently, this makes the grains more nutty tasting.

I'll tell you how mine comes out!

Amaranth Banana Pancakes (VEGAN)

1 c amaranth flour
1 T Ener-G egg replacer
1/2 t guar gum (might be unnecessary if Ener-G egg replacer is used)
1/4 c water
more water :-)
1 or 2 bananas

Mix dough. Prepare non-stick skillet. Pour pancakes onto hot skillet.
Begin to cook. Add banana slices so that they still sink in partly
but still show their faces through on the top. Turn pancakes when
ready, so banana slices will come in contact with the skillet. When
done, serve with banana slices facing up. Bananas will be warm and
sweeten the pancakes. These types of pancakes are fun for children.
And the little kid in each of us.
