Hi Faldage:
If you'll be in southern latitudes on 5 November 2003, come and see it with Hobart Film Society members in a double-bill with the Marx Brothers in 'Horse feathers'.
And other AWADers are also welcome!

O' but it does pain me so to say this but as I was putting all the information that I know about Water Tables into "Little Packets" I suddenly realized that all I was doing was defining terms that are used in the lexicon of groundwater movement. In other words, if you know the nomenclature you know the process. So except for certain esoteric applications, my great paper on the subject could be better explained by the glossaries already provided by of troy and wordwind in several URLs in this thread. I now walk away, head in hand, much ashamed. Vowing never again to boast of my monopoly of all human knowledge on this illustrious board. And Faldage, dear Faldage, it pains me even more to admit that I made up that stuff about what Mae West said to W.C. Fields when they were on the train. -

Aw, milum, don't hang your big ol' haid in shame. There's no way in anybody's way of reckoning that your packets would be the same as those on the internet. Consuelo would be first to agree with me. In fact, were you to publish anonymously your own water table packet lexicon on the internet, Consuelo would be able to discern your presence there and she would be quickly followed by the rest of us, not to mention the fact that somewhere among your packets you would have identified yourself anyway.
Here's another question:
Is it possible to have a stream or lake between two inclines of which the water in said stream or lake is above the water table? I know this is a dumb question. I'm pretty sure the answer to the question is "No." But if the answer were "yes," then it wouldn't be a dumb question anymore. So either I already know the answer to a dumb question, or I've posed a good question to which my answer is wrong, but new knowledge of the "yes" would be intriguing. I see this as a win-win situation, even if my question's dumb.
Best regards,
WW

I can remember when this was not just a nonsequitur, but a euphemism, when "horse____"
would have incurred corporal punishment.

A nonsequitur? Not if you're talking Pegasus!

Dear WW: you'd have to admit Pegasus would have been hard to follow.
