this has no technical information in it but may be a laugh for the IWP9 folk.

1) i had lunch at pike's today - as you would - and i really wanted a
menu to go - was willing to pay for it. the girlie said that the only
way i could get one was to steal it. not a good challenge to throw at
convict stock. unfortunately the hotel doesn't have a ledger/A3
scanner. arrgh - the one armed bandit.

2) try this for a challenge. i found a cool book store and bought 4
items. $66.66 with tax - i can scan the receipt. try that without
trying. styx lives on.

if you have the time, make your way down to portland oregon and visit
"powell's city of books" (http://www.powells.com).
