My favorite place names are three towns just north of the Catskills, rather close to each other : Surprise, Result, and Climax. This is a nice area (though hilly) to go bicycling in, and i always wonder as i ride through it if the names are related, and if so, in what order they should be taken in. Then of course, one tries to imagine scenarios for each possible order. Surprise, Climax, Result is easy, as is Climax, Result, Surprise; but Climax, Surprise, Result is a little tougher. -- O -- jefu tell me all about -- UUCP: edison!steinmetz!putnam Anna Livia!
