    What's wrong with having a GT closer towards the center of the valley?  Or
    is this GT only for people who live on the west side of town?

    If we're going to 'centralize' the location, make it not too far from a
    freeway.  What are the boundaries? Wickenburg? Apache Junction? Gila Bend?
    Reata Pass Steakhouse?

    could get a diet Pepsi or a cold beer and something to eat, and a quiet
    place to chew the fat!

    Well, debates must be debates, but I don't think that story-writing should
    stir up any more than light-hearted jabs. When a story becomes nothing more
    than an extension of a grudge, it loses my interest. Not that I am saying
    that any of the stories did this blatantly, but some came very close.

            How's the record business doing?  I could use a few Compact Disks
    but I have a hard time getting that far north.  Could we order by Apollo
    mail.  I have all of the Beetles CDs except for one.  I have most all of the
    Doors CDs and I believe I have everything that Bob Dillon ever released.  I
    recently purchased Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention which was a release of
    his in the late sixties.  It is crazy and makes one realize that almost
    anyone can 'do an album'.  Also I picked up a Mojo Nixon CD, Mojo and Skid
    Roper.  It, of course, is insane.  I have about 50 albums but I am

    Date: 05/25/89  Time: 00:26:44

    Anyone else follow Hill Street Blues?  We have been keeping tabs on Buntz as
    the cop that kills the most people.  Here is a brief history:

    1) 6 shots into liquor store holdup.  Was released from court earlier.

    2) Pushed Kidnapper thru window.  Tied to Chair. Partner killed by
    Kidnapper.

    3) 1 shot wounds Capt Furillo's assassin in hospital stairs.

    *=* Coffey Dies *=* (this has nothing to do with Buntz)

    4) 1 shot kills former partner in garage parking lot.

    5) 1 shot each kills man & woman.  Held up during drug buy. Killed at
    Buntz's apartment with gun in safe.

    6) 4 shots - Kills man busting down Buntz's door wanting to kill Norm.

    7) 1 shot with rifle kills assassin on water tower.

    8) 3 shots - Kills man who chopped off Buntz's pinky during an arrest and
    search when Officer with Buntz screws up.

            And of course, Buntz punches out the Chief in the last episode.

    Sandy and I seem to watch this series over and over again.... must be a cult
    TV series for us.  Anyway, it is on every weekday night from 11pm to
    midnight on Channel (5).

    Trivia: Buntz appears early on in the series, but not as Buntz, but instead
    as a crooked cop that is killed after a few episodes.  Does anyone remember
    his name in this brief period?

    Yawn....  good night.... or is it good morning?

    first character was named...
