(LOL) I'm a little "both sides now" here on the borderline of the U.S.A. and Canada. Oh, Canada! Canada deserves these beautiful butterfly fireworks across your nation. But I had a little turbulent indigo in my sky and heart and mind last night watching the ones on the bank of the River Charles, looking like so much confetti on my TV set. They were beautiful, too, but I had that same surreal "Why are they decorating the White House to the nines this Christmas, and especially with that HUGE gingerbread house, when there is a huge WAR going on and people are DYING" feeling. I was thinking of all the dead and maimed and wounded and PTSDed American soldiers AND Iraqis, and the 4.5 million lost and lonely ones displaced. And then they played "Celebrate good times, come on!!!!" and I had a brain, it went insane! I had to phone a friend to make sure it wasn't just me. It was very late when I walked in, but thankfully my talking as it rambled did not reveal any suspicious reasoning. Phew! My visit seemed to lighten us both. (Thank you, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!) Fworks, indeed. Up on my small white bed, I fell intooooo a dream And I dreamed I saw the bombers Riding shotgun in the sky And they were turning into butterflies Above our nation With a dream (that don't seem to cease) that the wars are done, Patti P.

We are on the other side of the mountain in the valley so aren't exeriencing the smoke & ash that SB & Goleta are although I can see the huge smoke plumes above the mountain that separates the coast from the valley. The fire is currently about 6,000 acres & 5,000 people have evacuated. It is in the area below Camino Cielo, above Cathedral Oaks with the western border of Ellwood near Wincheser Canyon & the eastern border of San Marcos Pass (roughly). The evacuations & resources, now that this has jumped in prority, have been well managed. So far no damage to any homes or people. But what a time to have so many people have to leave their homes (high tourist holiday). SB went forward with fireworks while Goleta cancelled theres. We opted out of our SB 4th of July plans & like many locals just stayed home & off the road. I believe this is still the number one priority fire in the state due to, not the size, but the potential for human & property desctruction. Our old community on West Camino Cielo (Haney tract) was one of the first to be evacuated. Kakki & Victor remember that place as they visited when we lived there. In fact, the night before last the fire came onto the property bordering ours before the mercifully wind shifted. One reason we moved from there is the inevitibility for this kind of big fire. Sadly, this was human caused in an area that I was always nevous about a few miles down the road from our house (because it was a big hangout area for high school kids as well as a shooting range). Here is the best place to keep up with the fire updates www.independent.com The other news sources in this area (SB tv station & daily paper) have once again been seriously lacking in any real reporting. Patti P., who attended Goleta Valley Junior High School in 1967 >And speaking of California (oh, but California!), I keep seeing reports on the wildfires (Beep, beep, RR! How goes it?), and now they are in my beloved Goleta/SB -- our old stomping (dawntreading) ground, Kate. I just looked up pictures and they are scary:< ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2008 11:26:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Mags Subject: firewerrks NJC lovely catherine wrote: Fireworks! Fworks!

There were no major surprises tonight...except for 9th and Hennepin, all the songs he performed tonight I had already heard. But that was okay...I actually felt like seeing the previous three evenings prepared me for tonight, which was quite possibly the best of the four shows. I was sitting in the orchestra pit, maybe 5 feet from the stage, so it felt like the band was performing in my living room. The sound was spectacular and I could understand every word, crisp and clear. Over the past week, I found I've really come to love the songs in the set. Having that day off, the 4th, was so perfect as the show tonight had a real fresh feel to it...I don't know of many artists, if any, that I could do this same thing with, see four shows in five days, and still feel as enraptured and captivated as I did tonight. Learned about more unusual laws tonight too...in Oklahoma apparently you're not allowed to eat in a restaurant that is on fire. In any case, there's not much more to say other than this was an incredible experience and I'm grateful for having had the opportunity to experience these Tom Waits shows...Jody told me once that he puts on the greatest show on earth and I completely agree with that sentiment, even more so than I did before. Garrett and Paz, you are in for a treat! Now for Dave Matthews on Monday....and Tuesday and Wednesday.....just kidding! Only Monday!

Kecap = soy sauce MAnis = sweet Ke, pronounced ke, with e like e on "kept" Cap, pronounced : chaap Ma, pronounced : maa Nis, pronounced like niece, only shorter I believe kecap manis is one of the key to Indonesian cuisine. Every people, rich or poor, can afford it. And kecap manis is found anytime : breakfast, luch, dinner. Kecap manis is made from soya bean and Javanese sugar. Javanese sugar is not made from cane, it's from palm. Better explanation : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_sauce OK, Bango or ABC... Bango and ABC is like Pepsi and Coca Cola. But i prefer Bango since Bango remains unchanged since my grandmother's heyday (1920s). And Bango is a bit different from ABC, Bango uses black soya, while ABC uses normal soya. A few years ago, the trademark ABC was bought by Heinz. My favorite simple breakfast : Pour 1 tbsp of oil to the pan. Add egg(s), beat it (scramble it) Add 1 or 2 tbsp of kecap manis. Add a little salt. Cook till done. I eat it with rice. Kecap manis is so cheap that everybody can buy it. (very cheap here, i don;t know in USA....) My advice : since kecap manis is pretty cheap, buy both, and taste the difference. Rian PS. Oh, this kecap manis talk makes me hungry... ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2008 #125 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
