swiss... Maine has 1 million people who more or less all know each other! I am a teacher and do not work w/ the forest service, but I used to work for cooperative extension at an environmental ed center and we did have forestry programs, might have come across (or "acrossed" as some say around here) him then.

I have been dreaming of indian food ever since being in SF last week and now I want more! Going to check out the Portland place soon.

King prawn dhansak with pilau rice and a nice stuffed nan. Wonderful food after a few beers.

Anyone heading to London soon should check out Preem in Brick Lane - our curry mile, in east London. Nearest tube is Aldgate East. One of the best curry houses in town and not too expensive.

CURRY CHICKEN
SPINACH IN SOME KINDA CREAM TYPE SAUCE
GARLIC NAAN
WHAT ARE THOSE MANGO DRINKS?

In PARIS try GOA or PUNJAB in the 7th. I don't know about Los Angeles, I hate going out around here. The Cerritos area is the big Indian area in LA.......105 freeway straight from LAX to the end of it (105).....20 minutes

It was so hot and humid in my local Indian restaurant last night I nearly lapsed into a korma!
