Glenn reviewed meeting 1000 as interesting and he hates the Doubletree more and more [and there were a LOT of follow-ons] I reviewed SiliCon as that I enjoyed it - however the food at Spencer's is horrid. Every single item that I HAD liked on the menu was gone! What I did order was ghastly. I ordered a salad - that had rotted lettuce under a few fresh pieces on the top - and '5-cheese mac and cheese' ... tasted warm ... wet ... and had no cheese flavor at ALL. No want! Michael Wallis commented that there's a clown in space [who spent 35 million to go there] and the picture of him with the big red rubber nose was priceless Trey reviewed a new Liad book by Miller and Lee = 'Fledgling' as very good, he enjoyed it, recommends it as worth full price in hardback Erik reviewed crossing the Snake River as it's very deep and speculated on holding a 'crevasse con' there Then Eric announced that LRCOSS will kick the Moon's butt on Thurday.Friday [impact expected at 4:31am Friday] and Nasa/Ames is holding an open house from Thursday 7pm to 7am we did auctions: birthday auctioned off Michael Wallis for $3.00 to me; then books for $1.00, $1.00; $0.25 & $0.25 We adjourned at = 9:18 And the rumor of the week was: 'come for the steak, stay for the spackle' -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?'
