Ohhhhh, I see. I didn't think of it that way. Gotcha. Although I didn't want a law, just voluntary participation. > It remains a really bad wish. Okay, can I wish instead for people to just stop having babies, period? What IS the attraction, anyway? Like puppies or iguanas, they're cute when they're little ... but ... In any case, will people please not bring their babies onto commercial aircraft?

Cigarettes may be a legal substance (although I can't figure out why), but second hand smoke is hazardous as hell. Certain things (like motorcycle helmets and seat belts, and yes, smoking) SHOULD be legislated for reasons of safety and health. I think, when it concerns smoking, non-smokers' rights should prevail. (Sorry, Joni.) > Sooo..Joe Blow.. the bar owner ..now has the the state > telling him what he can't do in his OWN PLACE. Poor Joe ... first of all, he probably doesn't own the bar; he probably only pays rent. What about the actual owner of the building? S/he might be thrilled that the building will no longer suffer the ravages of stinky curtains, stained wallpaper, and small fires. Joe has probably been claiming that he's going to go out of business because his patrons can no longer smoke in his bar. If he's made that claim, it's total hogwash. I've yet to see a business go down in flames (no pun intended) because smoking wasn't allowed anymore. In fact, many businesses enjoy MORE customers because now people can go in and enjoy themselves and not come out smelling like an ashtray. One of the things I love best about living in California is that I can go inside just about ANY building and I don't have to worry about people smoking inside. Try it; you'll like it!! Now I must call everyone in my militant smoker family in Ohio to hear what they have to say about this news. I'm sure they're pissed. Woo hoo!!!

These are uncompressed WAV files for those who care about such things -- they are not the MP3 versions. For those not familiar with trading trains, here is how they work: When the disks come to you, you make copies of as much of the contents as you want, and then you post back to this list offering to pass the disks along to the next person. You do not keep the originals -- you keep the copies you made for yourself. On most trains, the convention is that you make the copies and send the masters along within two days. For these trains, you must agree to turn them around within two weeks. Sometimes the offer goes unclaimed. Bob and I expect that to happen from time to time. So, by participating, you agree to just hang on to the disks and then make another offer a month or so later (or to respond if somebody posts a grovel looking for them). In theory, if everybody takes good care of the disks, wrapping them well, not letting them get scratched, etc. and passes them along, these covers will run on the tracks for years. Nobody is going to monitor the progress of these trains so if you participate and then lose the disks or fail to reoffer them, you will have kept others from enjoying them. When you post an offer, please include these "rules". One final note, I know a few folks like to compress these into MP3s. If you want to, go ahead but please do not send MP3s to the next person - MP3s permanently delete some of the "data" and sound quality degrades so please pass the masters along. So, anybody who would like to receive volumes 51-60, please send me: 1. Your mailing address and 2. Your promise to reoffer, etc. Enjoy and happy holidays, Eric P.S. If you are sitting on any of the earlier rounds, please offer them up again as its been a while and new folks might be interested.

No argument there. In my own situation, it's one of the reasons I stopped at 1. It would truly be great if you had to apply for becoming a parent as opposed to merely having functioning genitalia.

The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, the only animal poison control center in North America offers advice to pet owners about the many household products that can be dangerous and even deadly to their four-legged family member. * Mothballs, potpourri oils, coffee grounds, homemade play dough, fabric softener sheets, dishwashing detergent, batteries, cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, pennies and hand and foot warmers could be dangerous for your pet. * Keep all prescription and over-the-counter medications out of your pets' reach, preferably in closed/locked cabinets above the counter. Painkillers, cold medicines, antidepressants, vitamins and diet pills can be lethal to animals, even in small doses. * Read all of the information on the label before using a product on your pet or in your home. If a product is for use only on dogs, it should never be used on cats; if a product is for use only on cats, it should never be used on dogs. * Be aware of the plants you have in your home and yard. The ingestion of azalea, oleander, sago palm or yew plant material by your pet can be fatal. Easter lily, day lily, tiger lily and some other lily species can cause kidney failure in cats. * Make sure your pets do not go on lawns or in gardens treated with fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides until they have dried completely. Always store such products in areas that are inaccessible to your pets. If you are uncertain about the usage of any product, ask the manufacturer and/or your veterinarian for instructions. * Be alert for antifreeze/coolant leaking from your vehicle. Animals are attracted to the sweet taste and ingesting just a small amount can cause an animal's death. Consider using animal-friendly products that use propylene glycol rather than those containing ethylene glycol. * When using rat, mouse, snail or slug baits, or ant or roach traps, place the products in areas that are inaccessible to your pet. Some bait contains sweet smelling inert ingredients, such as jelly, peanut butter or sugar that can attract your pets. * Call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (1-888-426-4435) if you suspect that your pet has ingested something poisonous. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 01:00:01 -0500 From: "Cassy" Subject: Re: Weds... Letterman From: "Cassy" <<< On Letterman, Weds night... BOTH Elvis Costello AND Roseanne Cash... Not sure if they're performing together or being interviewed... looks like an excellent lineup. >>> I really enjoyed this show. I liked the interview with a woman named Teri Horton that has a documentary coming out called "Who the @!#% is Jackson Pollock" which is about her joke thrift-store purchase of a 66" x 30" canvas for $5.00 ("they wanted $8.00) which turned out to potentially be an original Jackson Pollock worth in excess of 90 million dollars. ( http://www.filmjournal.com/filmjournal/reviews/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003408999 ) Elvis Costello was performing his contribution to "The Harry Smith Project: The Anthology Of American Folk Music Revisited" - "The Butcher". Roseanne Cash sang his backing vocal as a special guest. This piece reminded me of a cross between bluegrass and old Appalachian folk. The harmonies were slightly off for the first couple of verses but once they got in synch it was a lovely combination of voices.
