The thing is I almost threw them out! Twice! The reason is they looked just like junk mail. The envelope doesn't have a company name, just a PO Box address and when you open it and look inside there are several folded advertisements. In fact I think there are ads even on the backs of the tickets (*%&$ing Ticketmaster). So I came really close to chucking them and then just had that "maybe I should just see what it is" thought, luckily (especially since the 3 other ppl I got them for would have killed me)! LOL. So, Gerrit, if you're the type to chuck first & ask questions later, well..... :-) Amy Gerrit wrote: > I ordered my tickets online from Ticketmaster, just like almost everyone >else..

My first trip to San Francisco was the week of the '89 quake. Day five of a nine day stay, to be precise. I was supposed to be crossing the Bay multi-level freeway that collapsed EXACTLY at 5 PM (timing it as the A's stated their first Bayside World Series game with the Giants in Candlestick). Luckily, a last minute conference kept me occupied elsewhere. It seemed that every three story building I had been sightseeing the previous two days was now at least one floor shorter! The quake wasn't frightening to me as it was far too large in scale to be understandable. It was more like a Universal Studios tour ride (for me, at least). I guess ants are also oblivious to our everyday actions as people for the same reason. I've seen baseball-sized hailstorms, "100 year floods" and twin tornadoes in central Texas (VERY scary), hurricanes in Massachusetts, the blizzard of '78 in Chicago, massive snowfalls in Utah and even a natural gas pipeline explosion taking out five square miles of farmland late one night in Austin. That one was a real eye opener as it occured out of sight over a volcanic hill area -- just between my house and a large strategic airforce command base (the ones marked for "first strike" in the old cold war). That night, all the signs (a loud thump, sudden daylight at 2 AM and a fireball George Lucas would have been envious of) had me thinking a nuclear warhead had struck, and I was figuratively holding my ankles, ready to kiss my ass goodbye. Fortunately for us all, it was only a burst pipeline. The family of twelve carpooling through weren't so lucky when they drove into the gas leak, though. The bottom line? Life is random, and we live in a physical world, regardless of our credit ratings, what our advertising buddies tell us and wherever Jewel is on the pop charts this week in Slovakia. Most world cultures would tell you there are four directions -- east, west, north and south. Others add two more, UP and DOWN. The Cherokee add a seventh and most important direction: WHERE YOU ARE NOW. And until you know that one, none of the others have any individual relevance whatsoever. That said, it's great seeing Mr. Ray Wong post again! Where have you been, Ray? Dennis Harris, sitting smack in the center of his own delightful universe...
