But did you choose the domestic or wild choice on the menu? :o)

>>That announcement of the December 2003 release date for the solution that will cure all problems is an example of the tried and true tactic of "deer in the headlights". The 'headlights" ('news' of pending release of what is really vapourware) freezes (they put off buying competitors software) them (consumers-developers) in their tracks (they stay with current release), allowing MS to ignore the competition, close the gap and run them over. It's no wonder they are treated like road-kill.

>Speaking of “Road Kill”, we just returned from a two week trip to Oregon – the land of “Road Kill”! There is a café in Ukiah, Oregon population 200, (where my father was raised) that had two menus. One was “Wild Road Kill” and the other was “Domestic Road Kill”. An example of each is given below.

>We felt a bit out of place sitting at “Dan’s Café” since we were not wearing camouflage suits, as were the other three customers. It is not yet hunting season so things are not as serious as they will soon be. There is nothing like a 50 caliber rifle with a 100X Scope to get that jack rabbit. If you can’t shoot the critter then flatten it with your 4X4 and serve it up on the menu.

>Things seemed a little tense until I mentioned my dad was raised in Ukiah. Then I mentioned that my grandmother was the switchboard operator in Ukiah and the lady taking our order said without a second going by “Betty Mills”! My Grandmother had remarried and thus the different last name! Grandma passed away December 1953 and is still remembered. I received all kinds of information – where the house was and where the horse ranch was where dad was raised. Now I have 5 rolls of film to develop and a lot of interesting things to tell and show the family.
