She said the Mohecan Sun Casino up that way where Ringo Starr and his band will be playing in February has seating for 5,000 people. I briefed her on Volcanology and what I had done on the net, and she mentioned that in either Mystic or Stonington, there was an Octagon House like the ones in Santa Cruz, California; North Salem, New York; Jane West Hotel, Manhattan, New York; Key West, Florida; and North Salem, New York; and Octagon Building in Washington D.C., and I suppose other octagon structures exist in other parts of the world.

I noticed the library will be closed at noon tomorrow to install the electrical connection from the Peterson addition. I returned home and fixed the High Baud Users Download 90 Beatles Songs"beatles90songs.zip", 223,260,601 bytes download and made a access page Beatles Music 90 MP3s to download and play individual files or the whole suite of music from. From my WebTrends stats the Beatles are the busiest part of my home server taking up 50% of the activity. Remember I downloaded the files from other public sites on the internet, and am simply making them available for local users on high speed connections. If any of the former Beatles or their managers or agents object, I will gladly remove the music if they find it a breach of copyright. Six people downloaded the 200+ meg file today, so there must be some high band width old Beatles fans in the area, or possibly they are uploading them to the new RioPort.Com Home Page - Your source for Digital Music on the Web Rio Player, for the old guard music fans to listen to. Well I also updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm and IBM was up a bit today. Well have a good evening. CIO
