I have seen Penicillin, and other similar programs around.  I will try to
upload one or two here.

  Wait till you see what she wrote in 1958, not to mention 1936 and 1943.
    See you later,

The ending of the book was as I expected - but I thought the 'secret' word
was going to be 'love' and not 'ego'! Non the less - I ended up envying the
guy very much. Certainly would like to read her other books. =*--ANN--*=

   Anyone else see the article on page B9 of this morning's *Republic*? 
Ever since radio has existed people have complained to the stations and the
advertisers about programming, but for the first time a station is getting
court orders against people for doing so.  KFYI has gotten a restraining
order against a group of listeners for complaining about taking Tom Leykis
off the air.  They are barred from "trying to 'intimidate, boycott and
blackmail sponsors'" the article reports.  It also seeks unspecified
damages.
   Somehow, I don't expect to hear Barry Young complaining about this
violation of free speech.  These people are even barred from picketing the
station on public property.

  The Viking Lander on the surface of Mars does not maintain
its own structure or actively preserve its boundaries.  
Alone, lacking communication, it is no longer autopoietic.
But from 1975 to 1982, when all of its communication with 
the Earth was halted, even the Viking Lander was part of an
autopoietic system.  Machines, by themselves on Mars, are 
not autopoietic.  Machines tended by their workers form part
of the autopoietic systems of their makers.

  Agricultural contrivances such as tractors and harvesters
provide food that encourages a weedy growth of human beings.
Among these human beings are agricultural engineers who 
design, develop, construct, and sell more tractors and
harvesters.  From the vantage point of global autopoiesis,
these machines are organelles - little organs - of a
technological society just as hives are the structures
insuring autopoiesis and reproduction of social insects.
Somewhat alarming, the potential growth of machines far
exceeds that of the bodies of people.  Machines can grow
exponentially, change rapidly, and reproduce the changed 
form more quickly than *Homo sapiens* can.

 3:something is strange.

Juglars... that is what I'm afraid of.
 
The meeting is on Friday night because the speaker is from Tucson and was in
town on Friday anyway and didn't want to stay up here overnight - he might
have had something to do in Tucson on Saturday.
 
When do you eat din-din? How many jugglers should I bring with me, and how
much warning do you need?

....He had a wild look in his eyes that even frightened the rats that
scampered around his feet looking for a bit of flesh to gnaw on. His hair
hung limply and dirty over his damp forehead and the froth foamed at his
mouth. In his right hand was a huge knife that had bits of foul stuff
clinging to it. He wildly looked around the room for a victim and saw none.

 1:        I thought that was the reason for a Friday night, Oh my gosh, it is 
 2:now Friday night and the meeting is well on its way.  I missed another 
 3:meeting, in fact I missed every last one of them.
 4:        Dinner is around six and Jasmine usually makes enough for ten 
 5:people.
