    Not quite, but it got close. Chronic dropped calls anyone?
    Better perhaps than no calls at all, for those
    who like calls.
    Now if it would only drop just the robocalls.

    The robos are smarter than any algorithm designed to
    ferret them out.

    fisherman, it would make perfect sense to club together and get a
    boat and build from there.
    True, if you have a critical mass of people in the
    community who speak the other languages.
    That happened in cities all over the US. It makes total sense the Vietnamese, and other new groups, would do the same thing.

    In the Route 40 corridor north of Dale and Gail, it's
    the Koreans, who are more stick-to-themselvish. This
    doesn't hugely bother me, as economic union is good for
    survival in a hostile environment (which the English-speaking
    world is reverting to). It's irritating, though, that I
    believe that Korean-speakers get a discount; admittably,
    this is preferable to the foreigner tax such as I was
    charged in Chauvigny a few weeks ago.

    If my parents had ever found out that I'd gotten B minuses,
    their little hearts would have been broken. I never told
    them anything but sent them a Xerox of my diploma with the
    fancy Latin stuff when I got it.
    Mine didn't have any fancy Latin stuff. Land grant college and all
    that.

    Land-grant schools are of all colors. MIT is a land-grant
    school, and it used at least to have Latin diplomas. Among
    the Ivies, Cornell is a land grant and Brown used to be one
    (how you get booted I don't know).

    reflected a lot of them. And it's a really dumb book.
    I wouldn't disagree. Made a good kids' movie though.
    It was a truly worthless book, and I don't watch movies.
    I don't, often, but did as a kid.

    1967, I looked that up. Rex Harrison and Anthony Newley, eh,
    impressive. I've never seen any film that had either, but I'm
    kind of a fan of the latter as a result of having played in
    his band on two sets of gigs 30-40 years ago.

    like his music as much as his writing. The fiction is
    kind of breathless but quite engaging; the music I find
    post-Soviet Socialist Realismish - it might do okay with
    audiences but wasn't my thing. My friend Pad Gajajiva from
    RIME-Cuisine was from a similar background and might have
    been a relative.
    It's certainly possible. Thailand isn't that big. I rather like the

    Well, it's the size of France or Great Britain, though the
    list of people associated with the royal family probably
    isn't that big.

    opera he's writing these days. Some of the fiction got a little
    baroque from time to time, and baroque SF was never really my bag.

    I'm not sure what that is. What are other authors in that
    subgenre? Maybe I like it.

    Just when you think you have them stopped, someone gets creative.

    That happened in cities all over the US. It makes total sense

    As it should be. Family discounts still exist.

    Mine didn't have any fancy Latin stuff. Land grant college and
    all

    Land-grant schools are of all colors. MIT is a land-grant
    school, and it used at least to have Latin diplomas. Among

    Me either; I think they were too liberal. How you manage that I
    don't know either.

    I don't, often, but did as a kid.

    kind of a fan of the latter as a result of having played in

    I barely remember who he was.

    And they do tend to know each other, or at least of each other. The
    classical music community there probably isn't all that big either.

    opera he's writing these days. Some of the fiction got a little
    baroque from time to time, and baroque SF was never really my
    bag.

    I'm not sure what that is. What are other authors in that

    Gene Wolfe is the classic example. I think CJ Cherryh's Faded Sun
    books qualify too.
