G'morning David,

 DW> Where is everyone?

Still here - and simmering something awful...

The local supermarket put on its shelves some "organic sea salt" 
carrying on its label such claims as `certified organic', 
`unrefined', `unbleached', `chemical free'.  It cost $NZ5.23 for 
200g - all of which I'd take with a 200g pinch of iodised sodium 
chloride priced at 20 cents from an adjacent shelf...

A close-by section was offering bottled `organic water' at some 
$NZ4 a litre (that's compared with petrol at $NZ1.54 or tapwater 
costing $NZ0.00129 per litre).

To-day's new product offering turned out to be "Diet Water" which 
can offer drinker 0 calories per serving....

Grrrrrrrrr...

 DW> I'm not sure if I've previously posted this here. I can't
 DW> find it among the messages that are still on Bayman, so if
 DW> I have posted it, it must have been long ago.

You put up some programmes for calculating gnonomic angles last 
October,  following some discussion about a disabled sundial here 
in Remuera,  a suburb of Auckland some 30kms away.

By chance, I took someone to exams of the southern campus of 
Auckland University,  and have to report that the dial is still 
sitting gnomonless outside the Remuera Library.

I'll try phoning the Team Leader at the Library for story updates 
and relay any story ...

Miles.
