RE #256: Hey, I even looked into finishing my BS up there. Unfortunately,
most of my credits from WCC don't transfer to anything useful there. Maybe
my MS...

I'm in Wyoming. :)
Our cross-country trip has been fun so far, but the car's been a bit
unreliable. Noticed a flat-tire-esque thumping in Wisconsin about 25
miles from the Minnesota border, when we stopped to check the tire was
fine but the CV boot was cracked, requiring a three-hour stop to get
the car towed and the axle replaced. We were lucky at that--this was
on Labor Day sunday and the shop originally said we'd have to wait
till Tuesday. Drove through Minnesota (whee! Love 70-75 mph speed
limits with minimal enforcement), stayed overnight just over the South
Dakota border, then continued on to the Badlands and Mt Rushmore
yesterday morning. The original plan to drive to within an hour of
Yellowstone was abandoned when the car developed a clicking noise and
funny smell last night--the other CV boot had cracked. We're losing
about a day's worth of travel time for this one. But we saw a *ton*
of wildlife on the drive through the mountains immediately preceding
the breakdown--at least twelve separate times Don pointed out groups
of two or three deer on the side of the road; luckily none of them
tried to jump out in front of the car. We saw a fox too, which was a
first for me. When we were nearly through the mountains, we stopped
at a viewpoint overlooking a valley and saw four deer grazing and then
loping away. Not sure I'd ever seen a deer running like that before,
very graceful.
Today we're wandering around Worland, Wyoming, enjoying a very relaxed
pace of life and friendly locals. We spent a lovely hour in a pet
shop talking with the owner and her birds, and I'm now grexing from
the local library. Barring major catastrophes the car will be ready
in about three hours and we should be staying in Yellowstone tonight.

I will be doing two radio appearances this weekend: WDET 101.9FM
(Detroit's NPR station) between noon and 3 pm ("Folks Like Us"
program) Saturday Sept 6, and WCSX 94.7FM (Detroit's "Classic Rock"
station) at 9:20 or 10:20 am (the "Over Easy" program), Sun Sept 7. I'll post
the actual times when they've been narrowed down.

I noticed a looong time ago on m-net that IWLTA is an anagram of my name, so
I announced it in general. People have been taking my name in vain ever since.

That's because of the high-intellegence factor on M-Net, right?

I would like to announce that I have returned home, after an absence of
one month and approximately 7,000 miles.
I visited, or rode through (in order):
Bar Harbor, Maine
Montreal, Quebec
Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
Thunder Bay, Ontario
Duluth, Minnesota
Boulder, Colorado
Austin, Texas
Chicago, Illinois
and many other places too numerous to mention here.
It's nice to be home.

IWLTA that I saw smoke coming from Zingerman's Roadhouse this morning.
I was in a bit of hurry, so I stopped by on my home rather than on my
way out.
They had fired up the grills on the patio and were getting bread (and
pies :) delivered through the front door. I walked around a bit and then
stopped by the patio, where one of the chefs and a couple of other staff
members were talking. One asked the chef something like, "How long will
it take?" "Ten to twelve hours," was the reply. So I asked when they
were opening: Some time early next week. They are just practicing today.
(So what's going to happen to the pig that was on the grill and all those
baked goods? I should have asked if I could practice eating there. :)

My guess is that Zing'house will give away their "just practicing" to a
variety of local businesses (future lunch-time customers) and to Food
Gatherers.
