      From: jbeeson@invalid.net.invalid              We keep our scanner tuned to the frequency used by Kosciusko Area Bus       System because they report on road conditions and train delays.              One day I heard the KABS dispatcher say "Metro Four, Dialysis just       called. They took Melanie to Fort Wayne again."              Metro Four, I presume, had been scheduled to pick up Melanie at       Dialysis.              Fort Wayne is where we take patients the local hospitals can't handle.              All names were changed because of sieve-like memory.              My eyes are stinging and I can't even remember her name.              That reminds me of how Bujold managed to pack about three novels of       emotion into "Which son?"              --       Joy Beeson       joy beeson at comcast dot net              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
