As it turns out this is a well orchestrated hoax (sort of) and none of it is true. They were actually looking into the possibility but had dropped it. Unfortunately the word got out before the project details got squelched. We're telling you this so that you don't take your laptop computer to the restroom and become disappointed when you can not logon to the Internet. We're also telling you this so that you don't spread one of those silly emails that perpetuate stories and hoaxes like this. If you want to read about hoaxes you can always go to our web site and click on "QuickLinks" and then the big pink banner with "Hoaxes" in the middle.

If you want to read a really funny story about this go to http://wireless.ziffdavis.com/ and see how silly a subject can really get.

      It seems like every other week we are telling of another famous musician that has passed away. While we are not huge country and western fans we do enjoy good music in any form. June Carter-Cash passed away this week and will surely be missed. She and her husband Johnny Cash collaborated on many songs and performed together for many years. While some people thought she rode on the shirt tails of her husband she was actually a very substantial force by herself. She received several Oscars and several nominations. She will be missed in the world of music.

The Basket

Make the basket from a stiff wire like a clothes hanger and a piece of cotton.
Bend the wire to make a handle and a 4 1/4" circle.
Cut out two of the pattern from our web site at www.runnerduck.com/images/coffee-pattern.gif. Sew the two halves together and the top folded over for the wire to go through.

You should now be good to go brew a great cup of coffee. For instructions on how to use the coffee maker go to www.zurqui.com/crinfocus/cr/coffee.html and enjoy.
Thanks a million Michael for pointing us to this site.

 
 

      It's coming up on the watering season for your lawn and garden. Many people over water or water at the wrong times. It is best to only water about once a week unless it's really dry and then no more than twice a week. Give it a good soaking when you do water. Water in the early morning and not in the heat of the day. A lot of water is wasted by running a sprinkler when it's hot out and the sun is beating down. A large percentage of the water just evaporates and never makes it deep into the soil.
Remember that these guides are for your lawn and garden, pot and planters may need watering much more frequently.
