12793. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 4:15:55 AM Detroit is nicer than most people realize although it's been in tough shape since the late 70s when the flood of import cars began to hurt. I like to think there are fewer phonies (people, that is) here than in many other parts of the country. 12794. Max Macks - 12/19/2004 4:22:35 AM I think what you say about fewer phonies
is true in many states in the Midwest.
Tho after the last election there maybe fewer
"phonies", but there sure are a lot of dummies.
in the "heartland"
Just my opinion.! LOL
Last week there was a table of the votes cast
in Berkeley, Over 90% for Kerry and it said
this was the highest percentage of any city over
100,000.
Perhaps I should not be so open about my
political opinions before I refresh my knowledge
of those of other Moties. 12795. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 5:14:17 AM You're in the majority here! 12796. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 5:14:50 AM About the same as in Berkeley. 12797. robertjayb - 12/19/2004 7:52:11 AM Max Macks,
There was someone ( name forgotten) who lives
or did then in Java(?) who was quite a linguist
and answered my questions about some words.
That would have been Irving Snodgrass. The last mention I recall placed him in Canada. 12798. PsychProf - 12/19/2004 4:04:03 PM Max...that was Irv Snodgrass, and I beleive it was Jakarta. He is fine, working for his PHD in Linguistics. 12799. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 5:38:26 PM BTW, Irv's mother taught two of my kids in grade school. (Quite a good teacher.) Small world. 12800. PelleNilsson - 12/19/2004 6:26:48 PM Irv lived in Denpasar, Bali. 12801. judithathome - 12/19/2004 6:58:53 PM He moved there from Jakarta, though, right? I seem to recall him telling a wonderful, scary story about that move. 12802. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 7:02:15 PM Where is he now? 12803. judithathome - 12/19/2004 7:02:53 PM In Canada. 12804. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 7:12:26 PM With his Indonesian wife? Or did they split? 12805. Magoseph - 12/19/2004 7:19:48 PM I think that they split, Won. 12806. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 7:23:55 PM Too bad. Or, hopefully, for the best. 12807. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 7:27:05 PM I have a lot yet to do for the holidays. Three children coming home starting Wednesday. Need to get tree, wrap presents, do Christmas cards, have surgery on my face and ear on Tuesday (removal of two small skin cancers.)and here I am procrastinating on the Mote. Just like cleaning my room during exam week in college! 12808. Magoseph - 12/19/2004 7:43:02 PM Yesterday, I went to Best Buy and Sam's and bought things for a few hundred-dollar bills. Granted, I need everything I bought, but tell me how come is it that money goes so fast?
When I am rested from trempling two large stores, I'll hook up stuff on this computer--I guess that will be a consolation. 12809. PelleNilsson - 12/19/2004 7:47:47 PM Trempling indeed tires one out. 12810. Magoseph - 12/19/2004 7:49:15 PM Won, first things first-- take care the surgery on your face and ear first, please. 12811. judithathome - 12/19/2004 7:50:42 PM Yes, good luck with that, Wonkers! 12812. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 8:22:11 PM Actually, Cap'n Dirty's having the surgery. Too much sun aboard the Tomater Sloop!
