> (yup, school starts early here--dunno why--summer's too fine to rush > through;) I've always found it odd the way the American school year goes. For us, it follows the year proper - one semester Feb-June, and another July-November. Summer coincides with Christmas - which, for a lot of you guys, must seem weirder still. No weirder than us putting snow-covered trees and little snowmen up around our swimming pools as we eat our barbecue Christmas lunch (: Camille verona_beach@geocities.com @ THE ARTS HOLE www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/6442 THE INVERTED FOREST www.angelfire.com/pa/invertedforest
