"Urumqi" means "beautiful pastures".. In fact there is just enough grass that a sheep won't die. It was one of the nicer places I stayed in on my trips to China. China is a very hard place to get any work done. Thing we assume like the mains voltage and frequency can't be assumed over there. I measured the output of one plug from about 160 to 250 volts and about 45 to 48Hz. > > I do like Hong Kong big time though ! > > Graham

We already knew that Kerry can't tell a joke to save his life so in the long run it won't matter. What will matter is that he has already lost one election and it is likely that the voters will never forgive him for that. In the US they have things called "primaries" where the folks from the same party run against each other for the right to run in the general election. Kerry is not likely to come in above 4th place in the primaries where three people are running.

An articulate stump could have beaten W (himself a semi-articulate stump), but Kerry couldn't. Eric Lucas |
