and there is the story about rename Santa Teresa at the last moment. i was on trip to DC the week before smithsonian air & space museum (and santa teresa lab) were to open. normal corporate naming process was for the closest post office. however, the week before the opening, there was a demonstration on the steps of the capital by a group of working ladies from san francisco who belonged to coyote organization (which happened to also be the name of the closest post office to the new facility). santa teresa is the name of the closest cross-street. refs: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006.html#21 IBM up for grabs http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006.html#22 IBM up for grabs way back when, when i needed to do some stuff at stl, i would periodically ride my bike from cottle to stl ... on santa teresa (closest north/south street). i objected to there being a head wind going south in the morning and also a head wind coming back north in the afternoon. especially during the summer there is interesting wind pattern between the hills on both sides of the valley. in the morning the hotter air rising over the bay pulls air from the south valley. By the afternoon, sun heating in the south valley reverses the wind pattern (with the hotter rising air in the south valley pulling air from the bay). the hills also form a narrowing of the valley about half way between cottle and bailey ... the constriction accentuating the wind. in the summer, the morning wind also can bring the strong smell of the garlic fields around gilroy ("garlic" capital of the world). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
