    You're mistaken, Nick.  Carefree isn't the high-fashion Mecca of the world.
    You're thinking of El Pedregal, where one can blow his whole wad and see
    strange neon paint all at the same time.

    Seriously, though...  El Pedregal and The Boulders are quite interesting.
    Here we have a resort and shopping center that insisted upon being annexed
    by Scottsdale, YET they advertise themselves as being in Carefree.

    Can someone PLEASE call Dean Hathaway and invite him to the GT.  We don't
    seem to be talking to each other at the moment, and that ain't right.
            Dean is a GOOD guy!

    Date: 08/25/89  Time: 05:23:57

    Real text from today's Dear Abby:

            "Dear Abby:  On our honeymoon I was horrified to discover that I had
    married a champion snorer.  I used elbows and feet for temporary relief.
    Now we sleep in twin beds and I keep a yardstick under my bed.  When Michael
    starts snoring, I get the yardstick and whack him with it.  Now, as soon as
    he hears me reaching for the yardstick, he shuts up.
                                         Michael's Wife"

    There is something definately macabre in this contest of wills.  One can
    only assume that the man is not a light sleeper, since he can sleep soundly
    through his abominably loud snoring.  Yet, he can apparently hear
    his wife reaching for a yardstick.  Since they sleep in seperate beds, and
    since a sleeping man has his eyes closed, we can also assume that he cannot
    discern her actions by either touch or sight.  Since the other two senses,
    gustatory and olfactory, are obviously irrelevant, it must be inferred that
    he only pretends to sleep, otherwise he would have no means (barring
    metaphysical means) with which to know the actions of his wife.
    Thus we have a condition where, night after night, this man pretends to
    sleep, while simulating the most horrific noises, while on the other hand,
    his wife waits patiently for the moment when she might have a chance to
    thrash him with a yardstick.
    Bertolt Brecht should have such an imagination.

    Subject: William Shakespeare
    Date: 08/25/89  Time: 06:25:40

    Hi, I'm Joseph Sobran, writing for the Universally Gullible Press Syndicate.
     Today saw publication of my column on Mr. William "Bob" Shakespeare, whom
    scholars agree, if he ever existed, was mythical.  Others think that he was
    Francis Bacon, or possibly Roger Bacon; I can never get the two straight.  A
    few academicians, from the sheer prolixity of his work, feel that Stephen
    King, using a time-machine, was responsible.  This theory finds some support
    in the discovery of the words "thermonuclear" and "jazzercise" -- in the
    Octavo edition.  As You Like It also appears in the Octavo edition under its
    original title, Like You Like It.

    Personally, I think Shakespeare was none other than Edward de Vere, Earl of
    Oxford.  I base this absurd theory largely on the fact that they both liked
    the words "repugn" and "consanguinity", and because they both used the word
    "remembrance" a lot.  Other uncanny coincedences include the fact that
    Oxford, in a letter to Lord Burghley, says "I serve her Majesty, and I am
    that I am."  In King Lear, the Earl of Kent says "I serve his Majesty."  And
    in one of Shakespeare's sonnets, the phrase "I am that I am" is used.
    Popeye once said "I yam what I yam", while Descartes once said "I think,
    therefore I am."
    This phrase, "I am that I am", was also attributed to Jehovah in the Old
    Testament, an indication to me, at least, that Moses , Popeye, and Descartes
    were all the same person, a composite figure reconstructed by snotty, white-
    tower professors who sat around picking their noses and dreaming up wild
    theories.

    Date: 08/25/89  Time: 16:36:06

          For all you who enjoy soap's here's some info.

    Well we all have heard that the reason they call them soap opera's is
    because they were supported by the sellers of soap products.

    And we have all heard of thoses crazy people that claim that
    the soaps contain parts of their lives.

    WEll here is an honest to goodness definition of SOAP

            a device for the conceptualizing the process of recording
    the progress notes in the problem-orientated record.

    S : indicates subjective data obtained from the patient and others
        close to him.
    O : designates objective data obtained by observations, phsyical
        examinations, diagnostic studies, ect.
    A : refers to assessment of the patient's status through analysis
        of the problem, possible interaction of the problems, and
        changes in the status of the problems.
    P : designates the plan for the patient care.
