["Keith Stansell" ] Alloy: Compuserve E-Mail Problem ["Stephen M. Tilson" Subject: Re: Alloy: VS ? Per the Comedy Central Web site, here's the information on the next episode, unfortunately, not the Dynasty episode. I suppose it could be possible they were making a joke. The times shown below are Easter/Pacific, which causes all sort of confusion for us in the Mountain time zone. Central time zone people can be pretty sure that it will be on one hour earlier but here in the Mountain time zone it is up to the cable company as to which feed they give us. So the question is it at 8:30 (east coast feed) or 11:30 (west coast feed). For Comedy Central, we get the west coast feed (11:30) so it is on very late. Uggh.

Understood, and thanks for the wonderful description! What a blessed and inspirational dream. Were I to dream so, it would be off to the hardware store and metal supply - soon returning with wire and paint, sheets of aluminum, and steel rods . . . Voila! ************************************** I haven't had a dream like that in many years, but when it does happen I always try to manifest it if feasible. I hope you find a path to expression. Thanks for sharing the inspiration, Robin.
