I think Ricardo and Bill Barkell were both kidding Richard, you KNOW I was kidding. In fact, you may recall that I came to your immediate defense by noting that you no doubt knew more about the local color, culture, and people, than many of those who (in a fit of inverse snobbery!) touted the fact that, in contrast to you, they stayed in "small, family-owned establishments." And my Chiding you as if we were in a classroom and making you write on the blackboard 100 times, "I will not make thinly veiled attempts to impress the unwashed masses" was a parody, but I think you knew that. Since "Condemania" has turned into one of those all-purpose threads (as often happens; remember "Black Hole Eats Sun"?), I am sitting at my computer at 7:30 AM Sunday morning, September 22, reflecting on the fact that the Autumnal Equinox occurs today at 4:44 PM (Eastern Daylight Time in the US). What it means to me is that the plane of the Earth's equator passes the center of the sun, and day and night are of equal duration. For you Druids and assorted "New Agers," however, you may wish to don your loose-fitting white garments, repair to the nearest Neolithic structure; or if you live in Peru, Nazca Lines; or if you live on Easter Island, Moai; or if you live in Kansas, Crop Circle; or if you live in Sedona, Arizona, Vortex; and participate in circle dances, tossing flowers at some lovely maiden while waiting for the Harmonic Convergence to occur. I was assigned to Santiago, Chile in 1987 and remember reading about the worldwide "New Agers'" anticipation of a Harmonic Convergence. There were those sitting on so-called Vortices in Sedona. I think some are still sitting on their Vortex waiting, but they now have their Social Security checks delivered to them. Cheers, Bill
