Does anyone out there know the lyrics to the "Petticoat Junction" theme? Recall that there were two versions: one before and one after Bea Benaderet's death. I'm afraid that I don't know the answer to this one. Here's one I do know the answer to: What did Bea Benaderet die of? Here's another one, just for fun. What was the last technological development needed before the construction industry was able to build skyscrapers? Gil Bristol AT&T Consumer Products Neptune, NJ hou2h!bristol

Lots of curves, you bet, 'neven more, when you get to the Junction. There's a little hotel called the Shady Rest at the Junction. It is run by Kate, come and be her guest at the Junction. And that's Uncle Joe, he's a moving kind of slow at the Junction. ALT: There's a little hotel called the Shady Rest at the Junction. It is run by Joe, come and be his guest at the Junction.

Didn't some article in Scientific American say that steel for the
construction industry was the last connection for the construction
of skyscapers? This article appeared sometime is the last year
and I can't remember. I don't have any handy at the moment so I can't
check. As for elevators, they were put in after buildings started
reaching about ten stories, didn't they?
