Permanently. > After all, it's not as though she lacks nerve. I have a plan that should make climate protest students happy. They would have to start dressing differently for school. They would have to dress really light in the summer because there would be no air conditioning, and very warm in the winter because they heat would be set at about 40F. The extra clothing would come in handy for their long walk to school because there would be no buses, and no drop off areas by the school so the parents could not drive. No wifi in schools because it and all the devices the kids have would take too much power. |

Until we have > teleportation, that is. Getting there can be half the fun. Short hop flights can be nice because you can get from once place to another quite quickly and without the boredom of a long flight. OTOH, you might miss a lot of scenery. I have been on a number of very scenic drives. Driving across Canada or the US offers lots of beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, there are also vast stretches of boredom. FWIW, Google Maps estimates 60 hours to driver from Halifax to Vancouver. vs, a 7 hour flight. btw... that involves driving through the US. It would be even longer to stick to a Canadian route. New York to San Francisco is more than 40 hours. That is a work week at the wheel. When my brother's wife died a few years ago he had plans to drive down to Florida to visit our uncle. I tried to convince him that he would be better off flying. Given his mental health issues and his tired he gets with his medication, the 30 + hour drive would have been too stressful for him. He would be lucky to get 6 hours a day driving. That would mean a lot of meals on the road and 4 or 5 nights in hotels each way. |

But you choose to get nasty. Going into public spaces when you should be staying at home matters not whether it's sitting in a jet or going into a grocery store. Someone someday will knock that stale potato chip off your shoulder. |

It's very tasty. So happy to hear you like it. You can use other beans in the same recipe - great northerns are good - but I like limas the best. -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |
| lenona321@yahoo.com: Apr 30 11:08AM -0700 The author was Robert Kimmel Smith. Note who's starring in an upcoming movie that's based on another book of his! https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/Obituary/article/83184-obituary-robert-kimmel-smith.html Second half of obituary: ...Smith worked as a traveling salesman among other things during the mid 1950s before landing a position as a copywriter at advertising firm Doyle, Dane, Bernbach in 1957. "That's where my education in writing really began," he said in his SATA interview, noting that he benefited from the discipline of sticking to a deadline. Smith rose through the ranks in advertising, becoming a copy chief at Grey Advertising and then in 1967 forming his own firm, Smith & Toback, with partner Harvard Toback. Throughout his ad agency years, Smith sold several pieces of short fiction to magazines under the pseudonym Peter Marks, all the while holding on to his dream or writing a novel. He has credited his wife Claire, who became a literary agent at Harold OberAssociates, with being his best editor and great supporter. On January 1, 1970, Smith embarked on a new career path and became a full-time writer. The first manuscript he completed was inspired by a humorous story he had been telling his then-seven-year-old daughter Heidi about a boy who loved chocolate more than anything else. The result was Chocolate Fever, which was published by Coward McCann and Geoghegan in 1972. The book has remained in print over the years and has sold more than two million copies. With that first book under his belt, Smith was writing at full steam, publishing a trio of novels for adults with Simon & Schuster starring Sadie Shapiro, a wisecracking septuagenarian known for her knitting, as well as the more serious Jane's House (Morrow, 1982) about a husband and family grieving the untimely death of their wife and mother. It was produced for television in 1994 in a movie starring James Woods and Anne Archer. Smith also wrote several plays and television scripts during this fruitful period. By the early 1980s, Smith again focused on writing for children. The War with Grandpa (Delacorte, 1984) tells the tale of Peter, a boy who is not happy about relinquishing his bedroom when his widowed grandfather comes to live with the family, so he declares war. The novel won 11 IRA-CBC Children's Choice state reading awards and has been adapted as a feature film starring Robert De Niro as Grandpa, slated for release later this year. Delacorte plans to simultaneously publish a movie tie-in edition. Claire Smith died of lung cancer in 1998. In 2000, Robert Smith married Margery Nathanson, former director of design services for the New York City Department of Transportation, gallerist and collector of Latin American folk art. Their family recalled in an obituary note that Smith serenaded Nathanson at their wedding ceremony and continued to do so during the two decades they shared together living in Manhattan. Six Kirkus reviews: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/search/books/?q=robert%20kimmel%20smith&sf=t About "Chocolate Fever": "From eating too much chocolate, Henry breaks out in brown bumps that help him foil some hijackers and teach him a valuable lesson about self-indulgence." http://www.robertkimmelsmith.com/ http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/robert-kimmel-smith/ (Book covers) http://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n79-106029 (synopses) From a Random House article: Ideas come to Smith from life experiences, from things that happened to him personally or from things that happened to people he knew. Jelly Belly was drawn from his own childhood, when he was the fattest child in fifth grade. The War with Grandpa was inspired by events that involved his son, Roger, who one day told him that he loved his room and "never wanted to live anywhere else." That gave him the idea to write a story about a boy who has to give up his room for his grandfather. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&tbs=vid%3A1&q=%22robert+kimmel%22+smith&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=6c169abe58a6d9cd (three or four videos) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0809759/ (about the TV versions of "Chocolate Fever" and "Jane's House") Reader reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/92212.Robert_Kimmel_Smith Lenona. |
