Hi, Jose!

I tried not to mention "It's a Small World" to Mr. Sherman because I thought it might elicit groans. But I did tell him how much I loved his music for the Tiki Room at Disney. I remember being so amazed by that place when I first saw it as a child. Now I realize that it was the first thing remotely approaching a "live" musical I had ever seen, and I was thrilled by it.

Isn't that sad?

Hugs to you, Danise. I am lighting a candle for you, Bear and your mom tonight at 10PM. I know that wasn't easy, but I admire the fact that you were willing to go through it and honor the wishes of your mother.

I need to leave work now. I have a coupon from Borders for 40% off the list price of ALL CDs (there's a limit of three, though) and the coupon is good for multi-disc CDs! So, that's what I'll be doing before rehearsal tonight.

Be back later!

PORTABLE NUCLEAR 'HOT TUBS' COULD POWER AMERICA

Quote

Yes, I DO want a nuclear reactor in my back yard.

That's what Hyperion Power Generation, a small Santa Fe, N.M.-based startup, hopes lots of utility and energy companies say over the next few years as it prepares to build and market small, self-contained, portable nuclear reactors that need almost no oversight or maintenance.

"Our goal is to generate electricity for 10 cents a watt anywhere in the world," Hyperion CEO John Deal told Britain's Observer newspaper in an article published Sunday. "They will cost approximately $25 million each. For a community with 10,000 households, that is a very affordable $2,500 per home."

In fact, Hyperion claims its sealed, buried reactors, which would be 10-15 feet long and about 10 feet wide, could power 20,000 homes for 7 to 10 years. At that point they'd be dug up and hauled back to the plant for refueling.

The portable, self-regulating nuclear reactor isn't a new one, and many companies and organizations have been trying to develop them.
Based on the low-maintenance TRIGA research reactors found at many American universities, the various designs all use a form of liquid metal to both carry the excess heat away from the core reaction and to absorb stray neutrons, moderating the reaction should it approach meltdown.
Toshiba has been developing a portable reactor, dubbed Rapid-L, that uses liquid lithium-6 as coolant and moderator, while the Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's SSTAR design (Small, Sealed, Transportable Autonomous Reactor) uses liquid lead hydride instead.

Both use traditional solid low-enriched uranium as fuel.
…

Not sure I like the adjective "autonomous" associated with my backyard reactor.

SOUTH AFRICAN SINGING LEGEND MIRIAM MAKEBA DIES ON STAGE

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Nov. 10) -- Miriam Makeba, the South African singer who wooed the world with her sultry voice but was banned from her own country for more than 30 years under apartheid, died after collapsing on stage in Italy. She was 76.

In her dazzling career, Makeba performed with musical legends from around the world — jazz maestros Nina Simone and Dizzy Gillespie, Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon — and sang for world leaders such as John F. Kennedy and Nelson Mandela

You can, if your aim is good.

I just wish I could get a picture of Buster stretched out on the widow sill, calming watching the show. (Unless, of course, the cat shows up!)

der Brucer

I have so far resisted hassling the cat - she shows up often, but doesn't linger; she justs looks about and then heads back into the marsh - I think she's more intested in ground rodents than birds. I assume she's a pet from the next development - she's much too "well cared-for" looking to be feral. She's almost all snow white with patches of orange on her haunches. If she'd linger longer I'd get a picture. (And the "she" is an assumption - she walks like a lady.)

And I thought of a few more while watching Li'l Abner and Leslie Parrish.

We have the opportunity to interview Abner, who lives in Florida and apparently has some Mercer stories.

Would that have been Peter Palmer, or the real Lil' Abner?
