They definitely do have a very calming effect, and I love watching them, as well as listening to the sound of the water and the bubbler - whatever you call the thing that puts oxygen in. Various kids who visited the centre had given all the fish names, and their names were posted on a list next to the tank. (I wonder if they went out and bought identical replacements when on fish died?) On the weekend, I took the kids to High Park, which is a very large park with hiking paths and a big pond (when does a pond become a lake?) with wetlands for birds and so on. Saran and her friend Erin were walking a bit ahead of Matthew and me. Matthew and I saw a blue heron flying low along an open channel of water between the reeds - and then it disappeared. Very cool!

These 2 HUGE birds flew together almost into my car the other day when my mom and I were driving out in a remote newly developed area. But they (thankfully) "banked" just before crashing into my car. My mother swears they were Blue Herons, altho I thought they were Sandhill Cranes. Then we noted that that might have been what it was like to see Pteredactyls (sp?) in flight.

But its too hot and I'm too old and lazy and my house needs my attention, and I feel all I can do is vote the right way and occaisionally email a state Senator or Congressperson. But this gun thing..I didn't even realize it was happening. And from what I hear, it was pretty much unopposed in Tallahassee. I don't know what's going to happen in this state. I wish it would suddenly take on the political properties of, say, Connecticut. thx for your response, Catherine. .....and Smurf.... as for YOU! well, I guess you were just "shooting from the hip". :) Em ps: in Adobe Illustrator the "eye-dropper" tool can be set to either take on "appearance" of what you touch it to, or to take on "properties" of what you touch it to..and then it changes not only the color of what you have selected, but the font, point size, leading, horizontal scale, etc. Wish I could just pull up a map, *select* Florida and then touch the "eye-dropper" to somewhere really progressive, and then SHAZZAM! we would be cool too.

I am prepared to deal with urban violence coming to my home, but I don't relish the idea of it happening. By the way, I spent 16 years in ;aw enforcement. I drew my weapon a number of times in confrontations with suspects. I carried my weapon in my hand in the "low ready" position walking through houses, apartments and motel rooms searching for fugitives or attempting to serve high risk warrants on countless occasions.

Love, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 May 2005 14:23:12 -0400 From: Lori Fye Subject: (NJC) Road Rules for DC For those of you who live in or near DC, and for those of you who may visit our area, this handy (and very non-PC) primer: * First, you must learn to call it by its rightful name. It is D.C., or "the District". Only tourists call it Washington. Next, if your road map of Montgomery County is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and buy a new one. It's obsolete. If in Loudoun or Fairfax County and your map is one day old, it's already obsolete. There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in D.C. It's just another chase, usually on the BW Parkway. All directions start with "The Beltway"...which has no beginning and no end, just one continuous loop that locals believe is somehow clarified by an "inner" and "outer loop" designation. This makes no sense to ANYONE out side the Beltway. The morning rush hour is from 5 to 11 AM. The evening rush hour is from 1 to 8 PM. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning, especially during the summer on Route 50 eastbound. If there is a ball game at the Redskins stadium, there is no point in driving anywhere near PG County. Tip: Never say PG County to anyone from Mitchellville, Upper Marlboro or Fort Washington. They'll blow a vessel in their neck and go into a seizure. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended and shot at. If you run the red light, be sure to smile for the $100 picture you will receive courtesy of DMV. (However, if you don't go as soon as the light turns green, you will get cussed out in 382 languages, none of them English.) Rain causes an immediate 50 point drop of IQ in drivers. Snow causes an immediate 100 point drop in IQ and a rush to the Giant for toilet paper and milk. Construction on I-270 is a way of life and a permanent source of scorn and cynical entertainment. It's ironic that it's called an "Interstate" but runs only from Bethesda to Frederick. (Unless you consider Montgomery County another state, which some do). Opening in the 60's, it has been torn up and under reconstruction ever since. Also, it has a "Spur" section which is even more confusing. All unexplained sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh, we're in Takoma Park". If someone actually has their turn signal on, they are by definition, a tourist. Car horns are actually "Road Rage" indicators. Heed the warning. All old ladies in Buicks have the right of way in the area of Leisure World. Many roads mysteriously change their names as you cross intersections. Don't ask why, no one knows. If asking directions in Arlington, Langley Park, Wheaton or Adams Morgan, you must know how to speak Spanish. If in PG County, ebonics will be your best bet. In Annandale, a Cambodian or Vietnamese dialect will come in handy. If on Dupont Circle, Capital Hill or U Street, a gay dialect helps. If you stop to ask directions in Southeast... well, just don't. A taxi ride across town will cost you $12.50. A taxi ride two blocks will cost you $16.75. (It's a zone thing, you wouldn't understand). Traveling south out of DC on Interstate 395/95 is the most dangerous, scariest thing you will ever do. There is nothing more comforting then seven lanes of traffic cruising along at 85 mph, BUMPER TO BUMPER!!! The minimum acceptable speed on the Beltway is 85. Anything less is considered downright sissy. The Beltway is our daily version of a NASCAR reality show. Strap up and collect points as you go. The open lane for passing on all Maryland interstates is the far right lane because no self-respecting Marylander would ever be caught driving in the "slow" lane. Unofficially, both shoulders are fair game also. The far left lanes on all Maryland interstates are official "chat" lanes reserved for drivers who wish to talk on their cell phones. Note: All mini-vans have priority clearance to use the far left at whatever speed the driver feels most comfortable multi-tasking in. If it's 10 degrees, it's Orioles' opening day. If it's 110 degrees, it's the Skins opening day. If the humidity is 90+ and the temperature is 90+, then it's May, June, July, August and sometimes September. * ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 May 2005 15:14:17 -0400 From: "Bree Mcdonough" Subject: RE: DVD question NJC I love The Last Waltz!

They are supposed to be pretty amazing and devoted to tackling Joni's entire catalog of work - we are talking the more esoteric realm - Mingus, DJRD, the works. I heard that they don't just retune but have an assortment of guitars onstage already in Joni tuning. And they got some brass, too, baby ;-) I'm looking forward to checking them out and might just snag some new cover material (hi Bob) in the process. Kakki The Joni Project, an evening of the music of Joni Mitchell will be performed by 5 musicians from Idyllwild on Sunday evening, June 5th at 7 p.m. at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N.
