Our newsfeed machine was down for a week after I posted	this last.  I do
not belive it made it to netland.

     A recent Bloom County had Milo saying that	the latest craze in
California was firewalking.  This article confirms that	report.

     Here in Santa Cruz, firewalking is	getting	to be a	popular	activity.
To firewalk you	need a bed of coals 10-30 feet long.  You walk through the
coals in your bare feet.  Only a few people get	blisters.  Of course,
careful	psychological preperation is necessary to do it.

     I am a little timid to try	it myself, but just last walk the president
of Santa Cruz Computer trampled	through	15 feet	of glowing brickets!  The
president of Personetics completed his first 15	foot walk.  He had already
done a 10 foot one previously.

     Perhaps we	should start "net.rec.firewalking".

	  When the going gets weird, we	must be	in California
