***Replace this line with a funnier statment**** Someone told me this would be a refreshing switch from net.singles. Well! I should say it is a switch! My my! Infidelity. Ballpark stats. Wow. Actually, I'd like to get a new thing discussed. I can't travel because I am on a very tight budget. I'd love to hear what sort of regional pastimes people partake in in other areas of the universe. Here, in The Bay Area, wine tasting and hiking are very popular. Skiing involves driving many hours to Tahoe, soo I don't count that. What's the big thing in, say, NYC? What's hopping in Chicago. Where's the action in Toronto, let alone London & Paris? Also, I had my dad come to visit a while ago and he told me about the eateries in NYC. Here, everyone is into Japanese food and Nouvelle Cuisine. Sushi eaters roam the streets in SF. Who is eating what and where. Are ribs BBQ still the thing in the Midwest ? Am I misinformed. Help out an armchair traveler. By the way, a friend is going to Atlanta in June. What sort of nice touristy and foody things are there in GA? Pardon the sloppy formatting, etc. I am using a new terminal and spent 1/2 hour looking for the equivalent of an escape key. E *****

Now that I live in Minnesota, I find people eating more German types of food like Brats, Saurkraut, etc. They even serve them at Twins games in the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome! New England: I'm originally from Mass and we really liked subs (the cold ones). Of course there's also the famous sea foods ( even though Im not a big fish eater myself). And around Boston there's a lot more Italian food than in most other regions ( the Italian North End! ). -C Blake Sperry Corp.

Citizens of the United States of North America are probably the most eclectic eaters (of the human race, at any rate) on the face of the earth. From hot dogs to laulaus. Ribs to chowder; fondu to lobster. Cooking styles of at least five continents are represented in most cities in the country with a fair degree of authenticity. But that's pretty well known. One eats what one likes. Everyone is welcome to try new foods. Seems to me, though, that we face a variety of social issues currently for which I thought this net was established. Our agricultural system, the pride and backbone of our economic success (people can work in fac tories or offices because someone else grows the food), is falling apart. High-key belligerence toward the Soviet Union has intensified the so-called "cold war" and led to new record "peace-time" military expenditures at the expense of environmental, health, social welfare, and educational advancement. Balance of trade is radically tipped (indicative that we are not producing things that the world wants to buy) toward our trading partners. And gambling on the stock market has reached all-time insanity levels. These are important issues with deep and far-reaching social significance. Have any of you been affected by these considerations?
