Besides, it's the home of "Field of Dreams" in Dyersville and the future birthplace of James T. Kirk. So I guess it has that going for it. As for me, I'm staying in Texas. To everyone else, sorry I''ve been a fly on the wall (and a quiet one at that). My world is filled with having sold one house and not having the new one finished until the end of this month. That puts the computer on back burner.

To make things easier, I'll avoid using directory assistance, operator assisted calls, or calling to change my service. Have fun in Iowa during your 12 free hours per day. I have a brother that lives there. - -Keith - -----Original Message----- From: Beth Meyer To: alloy@smoe.org Date: Friday, August 14, 1998 10:12 PM Subject: Alloy: Picket line blues > >Hi, folks; > >Just thought I'd dash off a quick note to let you know that I *might* be out >of touch for a little while, though I should catch up eventually if so.
