it was only low 20s (c) here in southern australia.

after weeks of long hot days, it looks like the cold is on the way.

Thankfully, Spring is finally coming here in the Northern Hemisphere, although you wouldn't know it with the weather we are having. Another big snow fall today is about to arrive in Wisconsin.

Thanks, frankiespeakin; it doesn't get any better or more direct than Ramana Maharshi.

Amos, if you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have given her lips a second look. As it is, her heart wrenching story held most of my attention, but beneath that what remained was this thought: what a sorry example of a human you are (that's the nice version).

Another thing about the airport scene. Had the Revolutionary Guard known the Americans were on board all they would have had to do was to get air traffic control to call the plane back to the terminal before takeoff. If they took off instead the Iranian Air Force would have intercepted the plane and forced it to land.

I liked it too, but I'm not sure about the chase scene either. I had seen a reenactment of this movie with the participation of the principal CIA agent responsible coming up with the idea and with the actual embasy personnel who he smuggled out. None of them mentioned any chase scene at the airport. What they did say was there were a couple of high tension moments at the airport. One of them was when an Iranian official responsible for checking one of the documents excused himself and disappeared for a number of minutes. It was feared that they would be discovered because of a lack of record for their entry into Iran. When he returned he had a cup of tea that he had prepared for himself. The other was later when there was a one hour delay announced for the flight because of an issue with their jet and they had to sit there fearing the worse. The delay ended and they boarded without further incident.

about 15 of 'us' - all but one a former jw, and most either familiar with this board or currently posters here - attended the play in the chicago theater district last night.

what a hoot!

according to the geniuses [the same guys who did south park] who were behind the production, it targetted mormons on the way to poking fun at all religious delusion.. it was a great play, great actors, and wonderful props.
