SAMISH
ISLAND YOGA: The recent turn-out has been good and is sufficient
to sustain the class on an ongoing weekly basis. Taught each Tuesday
at the Community of Christ Church from 10:00 - 11:30 am, the class is
suitable for all levels. We hope you join us!
For
our info: Tom Sullivan received warning about a caller claiming
to be an AT&T Service Technician conducting a test on the telephone
lines, who states that to complete the test one should touch nine(9),
zero(0), the pound sign (#), and then hang up. The person receiving
this call contacted the telephone company and was informed that, by
pushing 90#, you give the requesting individual full access to your
telephone line, enabling them to place long distance calls billed to
your home phone number. (So it’s never a 90#!)

At
the beginning of MOBY DICK, Melville’s hero, describing his
melancholy and weariness of spirit, says that ‘whenever it is a
damp, drizzly November in my soul...then I account it high time to get
to sea.’ My own remedy is a little different, says Finch. When
soul and weather match in mood...I find more often the woods, not the
sea, are best” Robert Finch, Common Ground.
