Big computer issues. Anyway, some of you may be wondering why no writeup. I read on a media layoff tracking page this week that there have been layoffs at R&R so perhaps that may be why. Hopefully the remaining independent SJ stations as well as the behemoth Smooth Jazz Network add the song!

I learn about that volcano from a photograph I found from somewhere a long time ago, I can't remember. I was so fascinated with the scenery: a small volcano - with the height of only 900 something meters (about 2950 feet) - surrounded by waters and some little towns nearby, reminds me to some kind of Japanese movie that I've ever watched when I was young and some kind of a place in a wonderland. It's something "interesting" for me to see a volcano that is so small, because I get used to see large volcanoes in Indonesia. I think it's a must to visit place due to its beauty and uniqueness. I believe most people will be impressed including Basia - who knows - she might be interested to visit Kaimon dake when she goes to Japan. BTW, do you know what Japanese people say about Kaimon dake? They say it's a mini Mt. Fuji... :-) Have a nice day! Desianto F. W. ==================== Brian Lochlaer wrote: > You know Kaimon-dake?!

Subject: Re: "Bio" or if you want to call it that, from Koch Forgive me for asking. Maybe it's just my lack of perception (and imagination) or I overlooked something here. What does TPTB mean? The thing I know is TSTM or Tarik Selimut Tutup Mata. In English: Draw (your) Blanket, Close (your) Eyes, which means: SLEEP. We, my friend and I, created that acronym about a year and 3 months ago when we had a seminar in a city with cold weather. My friend had trouble in waking up early in the cold weather and he prefer drawing his blanket, laying under it and closing his eyes (TSTM) to joining the first session, every day in that three-day seminar... :-) Have a nice day!
