hmph, snot working. A friend in McKinney, TX taught
me how to do the e with an accent like in resume a
while back, but I already forgot how. Now, holding
down the alt key and typing 0176 yields this:
I spend most of my time in HPUX and Solaris so I'm
always forgetting the new windows trix I pick up.

Yeah, that would be more like normal. Yesterday
morning I was getting gas and it was 50deg on the
sign at the In'n'Out on Main and I-15. Chilly.

Heh, my son went to Serrano High for a semester.
He just graduated from HHS.

I spent two weeks in New Orleans in September about
10 years ago - Navy Reserves. It was wretched. Very
hot and unbearably humid. Three showers a day without
ever touching the hot water handle. I kept wondering
"Who was it that stopped there and said, 'hey, let's
settle down right here'." Humidity bad.
