San Jose, CA to Texas - via IH-10
by Jim_TX inokay... this is _sorta_ a 'reunion' - so i posted it here.. i will be flying out to san jose tomorrow (april 27th), and then driving back to texas via ih-10.
(i think we are going to start off by coming through part of los angeles.).
this will take me through all sorts of interesting places that i have never been... (i've been to san jose, ca - but not out ih-10).. anyway... i think that it would be really really really cool if i could meet (even if just over the phone) some of you folks - who might be in this 'path'.. so... if you feel 'brave' enuf to want to meet up with a nerd - and trust that i am not psychotic... neurotic, or any of those other 'otics', then perhaps... if you could pm me... i can give you my e-mail addy, and we could then exchange a phone number or something.. i leave tomorrow... i know this is pretty sudden-like... so... you will need to make a 'coin-toss' decision - and pm me tonight... or no later than tomorrow am.. i hope that i can at least talk to... or meet... one person from this forum in the next few days.

Unwitnessing - over the weekend
by Jim_TX insaturday morning, i was on my way to my aunts' house.
i stopped in the grocery store in a nearby small town.. on the way inside, i passed three teenaged gals exiting the store - and something triggered - "jws.
" i laughed at my paranoia - but continued inside, where i did my shopping.. upon exiting, i noticed a parked pickup truck, and a lady standing there, preaching to some poor soul - trapped inside their own vehicle.

Speaking of scams...
by Jim_TX inthis morning at coffee, my friend sheri was telling me how she recieved one of those e-mails... you know the ones... where the person is in some foreign country (i.e.
nigeria), and in need of your help to assist them in getting the large sum of money out of the country.. well, she then went on telling me how she replied to a couple of them.. with her permission - i am pasting them below.
i thought that they were very funny - and i hope that you do too.

Troll dolls and Smurfs - oh my!
by Jim_TX inhow many here have in their possession troll dolls or smurf dolls?.
i am not sure about the rest of the world, but here in the states - these were considered 'demonistic' (oooohhhh!
), and were pretty much forbidden in the toyboxes of children.. since i have left, i have acquired a few for myself - one sits on the refrigerator - with a magnet - another on a shelf around here ... somewhere (he seems to walk around on his own *grin*).. sooooo... how about you?.

Recommended Reading...
by Jim_TX inthe hiram key - by christopher knight & robert lomas.
isbn 0-7607-0967-x.
it tells of the search for the origins of the masonic lodge and the freemasons.. in the course of their search, they uncover some very interesting information - which they share in this book.. while initially, i was not interested in learning about the masonic lodge... i found that when & how it tied into religion - was very fascinating and made a lot of sense.. regards,.
