they pulled ME, on stage to dance. I can just imagine the whispers. (Who *is*
that Amazing Rythmless Girl?)

Aww! Poor Sherry! What a traumatic experience. I experienced something
similar (though on a much smaller scale) when I was 8 or 9 years old,
and my music teacher (the sister of a famous conductor) told me in front
of half the school that I sing off-key. I haven't sung since.

True. Americans seem to think that having a car is a god-given right,
and the bigger the better. Some areas are better than others, down here
in Texas it's like most people have more than 1 car per person in each
household. The entire feeling can be summed up in one word: Hummer.

Some areas should always ban burning leaves during hot, dry seasons that
have high fire danger. I remember camping in California, a bit north of the
San Francisco Bay Area (up the coast). This was in August of 1989, during
the area's long drought, and all the vegetation looked like it was about to
go up in flames any second, it was so dry. And yet, we were allowed to have
open campfires! Not just coals, but actual burning wood and leaves with open
flames, that give off sparks. I didn't understand that, and it gave me the
willies.

Here in Finland, if the weather has been dry for a certain amount of
time in the summer, the authorities issue a ban on open fires. The ban
is limited to the area that has been suffering from draught. We always
wait with bated breath to see whether we'll be able to have the
traditional bonfire on Midsummer eve. If there's a ban, we don't light
up, but there are always people who do, and since Midsummer festivities
includes a lot of alcohol around here, accidents happen often enough.
Not just with the bonfires, but for some reason, drunken men absolutely
have to go out in boats and then stand up to pee over the side. People
even bet on how many will drown this Midsummer. /
