Bicyclists (and weed-whacker cyclists) ride everywhere. Sidewalks (which
are supposed to be verboten), shoulders of roads, right down the middle
of the traffic lane, in & out around stopped/slow traffic, etc. Many
insist in riding *against* the traffic flow - which, in Illinois, is illegal. The law is walk on the sidewalk and if there is no sidewalk
walk on the edge of the roadway facing the traffic. Bicycles are not to
be ridden on sidewalks and should be ridden on the right edge of the
roadway in the same direction as traffic.

Ugh. Couldn't get away with that here. Too many ticket-happy cops around.

Here bicycles can get a ticket for riding on the sidewalk. They are considered vehicles and should ride on the roadway, using bike lanes if they exist.

Title: Betty Trucker Roadkill Helper

That was Jim Bodle's usual picnic item. I believe that what he brought was really potted meat product with a new label on it.

I assume you mean "roadkill". I thought Bodle's usual was SPAM or squid.

The "Betty Trucker Roadkill Helper" is a real thing. I have an original
box of it bought at the Union 76 Truck Stop in Grass Lake, MI. My friend
Les made me a shadow-box for it so I could hang it on the wall. Bv)=

We have enough permanent resident "Canadian" geese here that they have
become pests. Wild birds and urban areas are not always compatible. So
there are usually plenty of road killed birds available. I made the
following recipe using a goose I nailed myself with my car. Fortunately
I hit it with the front of the car and didn't run over it. Chucked it
in the boot and took it home with me. Then had to remember all the stuff
I went through helping my grandmother pluck and prepare freshly killed chickens. Not something I want to repeat - but it was sorta neat to do
- ONCE.

True on all counts. For the picnics he would bring a small can marked
as roadkill and offer it to all takers. His favorite foods in the echo
were spam and squid. He was also known for hating beets. I once found
and sent him a recipe for "beet stuffed squid".

The only ones I ever saw had "Betty Trucker" in a red spoon logo on the
front of the box. And were from "GAG Foods Co." Woodland Park, Colorado

Apparently the bean counters at General Mills have/had no sense of
humour and filed a cease & desist ass well as a defamation lawsuit.

That seems to have done General Mills more "in the eye" than it did GAG
Foods in the wallet. According to my sources GAG Foods was incorporated
and the owner was isolated from financial harm. And the Roadkill Helper
has become a minor cult item.

Title: Noodles D-Luxembourg
Categories: Abfarr, Ffbb, Pasta
Yield: 4 Servings

9 oz Flour, all-purpose, plus
-extra for rolling
3 ea Egg, large
2 ts Water
1 ts Oil, vegetable
1/2 ts Salt, kosher
1/4 ts Pepper, black, fresh ground
1/2 ts Garlic salt
1/2 ts Celery salt
1/2 ts Onion salt
3 tb Butter, unsalted
1 c Cracker, saltine, coarsely
-crumbled

Place all of the ingredients except the butter and cracker crumbs in
the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Combine on
low speed until the ingredients are well mixed and a dough begins to
form. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough is no
longer sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Add more flour or water if necessary
to create a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in
plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Remove the disk from the refrigerator and roll out to 1/16 inch thick
on a lightly floured surface. Once rolled out, let the dough rest on
the counter for 5 minutes. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch-wide and
2-inch-long strips and transfer to a half sheet pan lined with
parchment paper, separating the noodles as you lay them on the tray.

Bring a 6-quart pot of water to a boil. Gently add the noodles to
the pot and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until al dente. Meanwhile
place the butter in a 10-inch high-sided saute pan and melt over
medium heat. When the noodles are al dente, transfer them to the
saute pan using a slotted spoon or spider, it is fine if some of the
water transfers to the pan as well. Add the crackers and cook,
stirring frequently, until the crackers begin to turn golden, 3 to 4
minutes. Serve immediately.

You haven't gone Christine Jorgensen on us, have you? Bv)=

If the bean bandits at General Mills had any sense of humour at all it
would still a niche market "gag-gift" item. Now it's just a collector's
item and trip down nostalgia lane.

The contents of the box pretty much replicate the "real" (whatever)
Helper. I'm not willing to open mine to cook it and see if it's the
same or not. But, then, I'd have to go buy a box of the authentic stuff
to try - since I have never in my life used Hamburger (or ???) Helper.

Still auditioning terminal programs. For now I'm live editing the entries

For Hyperterm, you have to create a new connection file for every BBS and
after you get done, save it. It's a PITA.

Syncterm does not have a default protocol. When you're connected and ready
to download, press Alt-D for "download". If you are using ZModem and have
that set as your default protocol on the BBS you're calling, Syncterm can
sense that and start the download automatically. On my system, I recommend using YModem instead.

Netrunner I used once and didn't like it for some reason.

Qodem:

- Keyboard macros are available via Alt-J.
See: http://qodem.sourceforge.net/qodem.1.html

- You can create phonebooks by looking in the directory that has your
phonebooks stored there (it's a simple formatted textfile). You can get
that directory by pressing 'L' in the phonebook window as that
directory is listed at the top of the new window opened. I have never

Not really. You have to save your phoone book entries in other term
progs. I've been using HyperTerm since Windows 95 (I think - a long
time, anyway).

LATE BULLETIN: HyperTerm suddenly began acting as it should - saving
Macros, paths, calling info, etc. Yipeeee! If I knew what caused the
hassles I'd be an IT whiz instead of just bumbling along.

Yeah I know. And when I call Outpost using Synch it wants to start its
download using Z-modem. I'll give the <ALT>D a shot to see if I can make
it behave. I have YModem-G set as the transfer protocol for Outpost in HyperTerm.

Or if I could find a tutorial for Netrunner or Qodem detailing how to
