>Hi there (a few months later and from a new address). Back in the
taberna, as Nko would say.<

  yeah, it's been a while. kind of
  busy off-line, haha.

  i'm visiting (again) los alamos, nm.
  a few day after i got here, i met
  the local cool people. among them,
  a very pleasant woman.. surprise.
  when i unveiled my nationality,
  she seems not to be confused, sure
  enough, her aita has been involved
  into some basque studies. i asked
  her who he was, but her answer didnt
  ring any bell on me, naturally.
  jandacek, that's the family's name.

  some days later, her circle of
  friends & myself attended a dinner
  at her place, & pretty soon i'm
  looking at correlations & similarities
  between basque and slavic/chezk words.
  i told him about the gurus on the
  basque linguistics.. he knew some
  of them. he mentioned also roz
  & trask, and some discrepancies.
  i took some booklets that shows the
  sometimes lose word parallelism, but
  unfortunately, not in an electronic
  source. i'm considering retyping it,
  for faster & wider distribution, at
  this point, i'm not discussing it,
  i've just wanted to share with you
  my findings. it is just bizarre how
  someone in the middle of nowhere starts
  digging into the ``basque thing'' driven
  by pure fascination.

  many other things caught my attention
  that night, like a copy of a personal
  letter written by buckminster fuller
  and addressed to mr. jandacek, & glued
  to the restroom walls, the geodome-like
  house & of course, his little daughter :)

another beer & a cuban cigar, waitress!
regards..
