I imagine the scenery is great unless it is all roads and sidewalks but on the other hand the car beats the city bus anytime. Remember the long bus rides to Kansas City and didn't like that anymore than going on long trips unless it's in a car. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sarah Van Oosterwijck To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 10:44 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT What's up? I can't believe it! California sounds just like Minnesota today. LOL Marissa, I hope you have an MP3 player, or something just as good to provide entertainment for your commute. I like to read on long bus rides, but that's really not recommended when your the one driving. ;-) Sarah Van Oosterwijck http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity ----- Original Message ----- From: Marissa Mika To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 4:45 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT What's up? Y'all seem to be taking care of yourselves just fine without my persistent banter. I'll be doing a slew of approvals tonight after I drive home. (Did any of you know that I have a commute that's about an hour and fifteen to twenty minutes each way? The gas hike has nearly given me a heart attack.) Other random factoids? It's sunny, clear and a bit windy. Probably 65 degrees. California income taxes seem to be more complicated than federal income taxes. Oh, and I've been hearing good news from graduate schools. It's exciting. My list went out Monday, didn't it?

The staff members seem to be incommunicado this week. No one has said anything on either list and there are no newly approved books.
