Type O was the original paleolithic blood type. Type A showed up after agriculture changed our diet from hunter/gatherer.

Election Poll
Tomorrow is the general election for mayor. Nine candidates are running. If there is no clear winner, the two top candidates will participate in a runoff election three weeks later. I just got a call in which a pre-recorded voice asked "If the runoff election were held today, would you vote for or ?"

When I've gone, I've taken 105 to Plantersville and then south on 1774. And most of the times I've been to Houston, it's been to somewhere a lot closer to I-10 than US 290, so I've taken the SH-71/I-10 route a lot more times than the US 290 route. (And if I'm going to College Station, I take US-79 to Highway 6 and go south. That might be a better route from north of Austin to get to the RenFair, take 6 to 105 in Navasota. I'd have to drive it both ways to be sure, though, or at least take it both ways to Navasota.) Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

I have a question about your trip around Australia. Did you only travel on low traffic roads, or multi-lane roads, or roads with wide shoulders that can easily accommodate a bike? The reason I ask is that I was thinking about bikes and traffic as I drove to up to Austin for a funeral. There were a number of bikes on a two lane road that was on the first part of my trip and they coexisted well with traffic, driving on a paved shoulder that was, for all practical purposes, a bike lane. However, if they road in the main lane, they would not have coexisted well. Instead, there would be very long lines forming behind themat least scores of cars long, if not hundreds. On the road I was thinking of (FM 1488 from I 45 to US 290 for you Texans), if a cyclist were to ride the entire way at, say 20 MPH, the line would stretch for miles behind them. Virtually every cyclist I've seen picked routes in which they wouldn't cause massive problems, so I've not seen this as a problem. But, if they did ride in the main lane of a number of roads, traffic on those roads would be a nightmare. Dan M. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

It's odd, but I remember that episode but I don't remember it being explained very well... It was largely a "I was only a hired killer, but I hated who I was and where I was in life and you're kind of cute, Flash" thing to me, particularly because Ming sent her ex-husband after her to kill her when she failed at her task on Earth. It seems the normal OCD sci-fi watchers aren't into the show because I'm not turning up much more of a synopsis than my own poor recollection on the usual OCD sources... -- --Max Battcher-- http://www.worldmaker.net/ ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
