Well, for the a-ok, not the one-eyed cat. When I was a kid, we had three cats-- Agnes, Norman, and Molaire. Moliare lost his left eye in a street brawl when he was less than a year old. He got used to it, and he did pretty well all of his life (11 years). Despite the fact he had one eye he had some form of depth perception-- he hunted, played with bits of string, etc. Norman lost his left front leg to a car fan belt when he was a kitten. Tripod for his 17 years, he had hind legs like a jackrabbit, could climb trees, and beat up on the neighbor's German Shepard. Agnes was just a grand old lady and never suffered any of the physical trauma the boys had. She would, however, sit in your lap and howl like a banshee if you ever cried. Vomitor will be just fine :) But good luck to him nevertheless. - -Doc This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

This is just some major cities, with a few ringers thrown in. C'mon: does this entry for LA really sound like it should be, supposedly, the 6th best pizza city in the US?

I don't know about the "publicized" things... the talked-about places are just that: places you discover through word of mouth. My stepdaughter is going to a charter school next week which, among its other attributes, is a block away from Casa Bianca in my old neighborhood of Eagle Rock. People like to slag Casa Bianca as overrated, but it isn't. It's just a pain in the ass to get into. And the wine is awful. The band next door was getting a lot better for a while, but lately they kind of suck. I don't know if it's revolving personnel or the same guys just reaching different waystations on their journeys of musical discovery at different times or whatever. The drummer seems to be losing the groove more often. Haven't heard vocals for a while. Most importantly I still can't figure out what kind of music they're trying to do, which is probably a good thing, assuming that they're as young as I suspect they are. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 22:06:10 -0500 From: Steve Schiavo Subject: Mike Viola with Mandy Moore (or something) (NR) > Mike Viola with Mandy Moore > Upcoming TV Shows > (Band Is: Mike Viola, Kelly Jones, Brian Wolfe, Daniel Clarke) > > May 20th > The Tonight Show with Jay Leno > NBC Tomorrow Night 11:30PM > > May 27th > Ellen > NBC 9:00AM or 10:00AM > > June 5th > Late Night With Jimmy Fallon > NBC 12:35AM > > Performing Mandy's new single > "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week" > > > Mandy Moore's new album "Amanda Leigh" > produced and arranged by Mike Viola > released May 26th everywhere Mandy seems to have good taste in sidemen. - - Steve __________ Mojo: If push comes to shove, what is your all-time favourite album?

There's an abridged version of 2500 5-digit numbers in your Abramowitz & Stegun . I find it captures the plot and character development particularly well, while avoiding all the tedious digressions into normal deviates of the original. These do nothing to advance the story.

The vet admiringly remarked that he'd done a perfect surgical job on himself and Jane saved herself the cost of an op. We used to have two cats , Omar and TIddles and when they were kittens I had to take them to the vet to be desexed , being an impoverished student at the time I took them in a zip up bag , hung from the handlebars of a decrepit push bike . on the way back, I was bemused to see a little paw appear through the stitching alongside the zipper on the top of the bag, my bemusement rapidly turned to alarm as a little tortoiseshell cat head pushed its way up through the rapidly widening hole in the bag, pedalling like fury I attempted to reach home before the rest of the cats emerged from the bag , madly trying to push the heads back into the bag and steer at the same time. I must have made it back ok as I didn't loose the cats, although poor tiddles got run over and had to be put down when she was only a year old. I still shudder to think about that incident . Incidentally both cats were female but the people we got them from and who did the naming of them obviously didn't know how to tell the sex of cats and Omar stayed an Omar until she shuffled off this mortal coil many years later, despite doing her best to kill herself under the wheels of numerous trucks on the busy main road in our village. I like cats but I now have dogs only as cats are a major menace to our native wild life over here in Oz , masses of feral cats are decimating lizard and small marsupial populations , a cat can eat around 20 skinks a day and there are millions of them . if I had cats again I'd have to have house cats or put them in a run der commander ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 May 2009 11:58:55 -0400 From: lep Subject: Re: dear diary Stewart says: > There's an abridged version of 2500 5-digit numbers in your Abramowitz > & Stegun .
