    • Recommended: Jordan River Moving and Storage In the end, our entire move was done under the estimated time (and therefore under the estimated budget), and we were more than happy to give them a good-sized tip. While we don't expect to be moving anytime soon again, we'll definitely be giving Jordan River a call when the time comes. _Highly_ recommended. ➡

    • Cattle Call 2004 Having watched this for a while, I started to wonder just how the various candidates have fared over the months. So, with a little browsing through the Daily Kos archives and some tinkering in Excel, I can present a (fairly ugly) little graph of each candidate's potential to grab the Democratic nomination, as ranked by Kos. ➡

    • [From Usenet 8.13.95 2300] Down here in Anchorage, about the best place to find anything is at Mammoth Music. They've got two locations for new cd's/tapes, one musical instrument store, and one used-cd store. ➡
    • [From Usenet: 8.13.95 2300] Pop Will Eat Itself, 'Ich bin ein Auslander,' off of Dos Deidos mi Amigos. Sweet album...lots of good stuff. ➡
