Today isn't part of the Omer at all. (This file manually updated itself

balamac (Brian A. LaMacchia):
Restore jinx's .plan file to Central_America!
This file is modified daily so that it will appear every day in
Central_America, a discuss meeting which collects all .plan files on
Athena which have changed in the past 24 hours. This process will
continue until jinx's .plan file is added back into the CA database.
To date, five people have been removed from the CA database
because those who read CA didn't like having to see repetitive .plan
files day after day. They are:
boomer, dom, dhbernst, jinx, wslee
They were removed because they would not change their .plan files to
conform to the desires of the readers of CA.
Failure to see this file in Central_America means that I too have been
removed from the CA database against my will.

we are the music makers,
we are the dreamers of dreams,
wandering by lone sea-breakers,
and sitting by desolate streams--
world-losers and world-forsakers,
on whom the pale moon gleams:
we are the movers and shakers
of the world for ever, it seems

From: mmajka@next.com (Marc Majka)
Newsgroups: rec.aviation
Subject: Strange Palo Alto Traffic
Date: 3 Dec 91 00:18:15 GMT
Reply-To: Marc_Majka@NeXT.COM
Organization: NeXT Computer Inc.
Leaving Palo Alto on Friday. A Citabria had just landed:
PAO: 85 Uniform, Taxi to position and hold.
Me: Position and hold, 85 Uniform.
Citabria: Umm, Tower, there's a dead seagull on the right side
of the runway near the windsock.
PAO: Roger. 85 Uniform, cleared for takeoff. Watch for a dead
seagull on the right side of the runway.
Me: 85 Uniform, Dead seagull traffic in sight.
A little later, the Citabria was downwind when I heard:
PAO: Citabria 123, cleared to land 30. Caution - there's a buzzard
trying to eat the seagull on the runway.

Plan: to fight the Great Convergence. Not only am I not Ken, but I am
also not Jen and not Ed. And not Max either. But every once in a
while, when I say "Ken" or "Chee" I need to stop and check that I mean
the right one.
