I will not be able to answer mail/comments on a regular basis from the 7th to the 17th of this month. I am travelling and don't have Internet access most of the time.

Hello Lutz,

Do you visit germany private or do you bring all the newLisp to the people here? :-)

[Lutz]

my mother lives in Bremen and I also have friends and family in Hamburg, I left Germany in 1978, but still like to visit once in a while and like it a lot, except for the snow and rain.

I just got back this afternoon from Ensenada, Mexico, which also has the "/" character moved to a different place on the keyboard. But they do have nice weather -- warm and sunny!

[Lutz]

I am back in Los Gatos, enjoying the keyboard 'as we know it'. Hope you had a nice trip to Ensenada, was it vacation or work?

It was a visit to la dentista. The US healthcare system is totally out of control, so I've started going south of the border for as much "routine maintenance" as possible. They do good work, and use modern equipment and techniques. And, you can buy a lot of tamales with the money saved.



I walked in without an appointment, and 45 minutes later walked out with a new filling. 36 Bucks! "Eet was a very BIG filling, señor!"

I did the same thing a couple of years ago, I needed a dozen different diagnostic procedures (blood work etc.) and went to visit friends in El Salvador. I got for $500, what would have cost me at least $5000 or more here in the U.S.A..  Physicians down there are very good, most of the time educated in the U.S. and take a lot of time and personal efford with their patients.
