Merely the vagracies of the internet. It probably routed the long way to
you. There are e-mail test programs that bounce mail of of test sites around
the world. I have had replies from Australia in a minute, from the next
large town in three days.

Internet is not a big old pool that some folks seem to thing. It is a relay
system. Short route may be from your computer to your ISP modem server, to
your ISP mail server to PDML mail server and back along the same route. But
just as likely it goes from your ISP mail server to some relay server, to
some relay server 1/2 way around the world to some other relay server to
PDML server and back some other equally complicated but different route.
Seems strange, I know, but it is set up that way so the internet can not be
blocked by a simple outage, even a mass outage in some area. Unfortunately
your ISP does not have multiple routes to your computer. That is the weak
link in the chain.

Pat,

I have noted many double posts and such on this list the last couple of
days.  So it may not be you.

Does it look like my ISP is really slow, or is this typical?  It seems odd
to me.  Any idea what might cause this?

We don't want to go there Frank.
Even were it not a family list, some things are best not
discussed.

Size is merely impressive.

There's a joke about Prairie Women in there somewhere, but this is a family

Maybe with cameras, it's true that size is important after all...

Interesting glimpse into big-time shooting.

Maybe five of those 40 people are designated winders for the 5 67s.

Here's an OT Pirelli calendar story.

Some time around 10 years ago I went over to see a friend who runs a
motorcycle repair shop out of his home. It was/is the hang out for the
motorcycle road racers in Rochester. He had a Pirelli calendar hanging in
his shop. I don't remember what year it was or even if it was the calendar
for that year (he was the type who'd use an old calendar for decoration if
the pictures were good enough). Anyway I had to do a double take on the
calendar because the babe in the photo was renting one of the apartments I
owned at that time.

Small world, huh?
