Patty, if you want to have "Seattle sci.talk get-togethers", well say so, then simply say "let's get together" as what we can have some lunchtime
or weekend wile-away.
Seattle has been very tolerant of all the things since COVID, it's a nice city, though inflation is rampant, I can take it or leave it.
Yeah, to this day there are uranium operations from Tri-Cities all the way out to Burns, Oregon, or Tri-State, as it were.

The main point is that it just so happened that for whatever reason, the Big Ben Paradox
originated in the gray matter of MY brain. So it turned out that Richland insured that
particular gray matter's existence. And now you know the REST of the story.

Providence chose me to deliver this one BIG idea, this one last gadanken fatal to relativity,

or medicine men in another time.
