  Killy I think I got the email out to you;  I was kind of having problems with my yahoo account recently because a relative of mine kept sending 2 megabyte attachments,
 which,  of course,  clobbered my inbox and paralyzed my mail service.  if you dont get any maily maily ask adolph for the passwordy stuff cause I am pretty sure i sent him the info.  anyhow I am in Strasbourg right now;  as the name suggests this is a franco- german type of french city;
 it is totally different from Marseilles;  not only in terms of how much beer you get for 2 euros,  but also in the availability of brautwurst and brautwurst related products that are available;  the people here mostly speak german,  which is kind of creepy for me because I have seen too many world 2 movies and stuff;  also ,
 it is more fun to light brown here than in the south of France;  I was only in town this morning for a half an hour before I was stopped by some french police officers asking for identification.  I have also been talking with the colin:  We are hoping that we can get a bbq thing on in San Marcos while he is here. wouldnt it be great to hacky sack,  drink beer,  eat some kind of red meat and swim a little?
