It's time to CELEBRATE! :
As we count down to that menacing date in history, we are reminded
of the Roman festivals observed between the Ides of February and the
Ides of March.
Just last week the Romans would have observed their Lupercalia,
believed by some to have been named for the Sabine god, Februus, the
Purifier, to celebrate Purification on February 16. During this festival,
runners beat women with leather straps called februa in the belief that
the act would make a barren woman fertile. Known as an
endotercisus day, the morning, known as the dies fasti, was set aside
for the celebration of the Lupercal, while the evening, called the dies
nefasti, belonged to the Quirinalia. This was a day sacred to both
Mars and Juno. MORE....

Ridin' the Rails: Blue Ridge Scenic Railway:
Georgia
There is something romantic about an
approaching train moving along the
tracks. The sight of it and the sounds
your hear will surely bring back a
memory or two.
The original main line was built to Murphy, North Carolina, which was reached in
late 1886. The builders intended to continue until they reached Knoxville, Tennessee,
but in 1887, the plans were changed as Knoxville and Blue Ridge were ultimately
connected via a slightly different but much more exciting route via the Hiawassee River
gorge.

OLD GHOST TOWNS: Grand Gulch Mine: Arizona
Experience the thrill.......get out that metal dedectin' contraption!
The Grand Gulch Copper Mine is located in the Arizona Strip District.
Mining began at Grand Gulch in the 1885. The average grade of the ore
was 15% copper, but ran as high as 50% copper. As many as 80 men were
employed at the mine at one time. The site included a rock bunkhouse
and a rock cookhouse. Mining continued until 1918. A fire in the 1950's
claimed most of the mine buildings, leaving only stone walls.

Survival Tip:
Never leave a message on the outside of your automobile if it is parked at the trail
road head. Thieves may make use of the information in your note and strip your
machine to it's bones. If you leave a note, leave it inside the vehicle where it can be
found by the authorities should they open it.

being that the Polaris rides on 6 tires where the Traxter has a more typical 4.

NEWS REVIEW:
US Attorney To Probe Rich Pardon
By PAT MILTON, Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Federal prosecutors have opened an investigation into
President Clinton (news - web sites)'s last-minute pardon of fugitive financier
Marc Rich, a source familiar with the case said Wednesday.
U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White in New York ``is trying to determine if there
was a transfer of money to buy the pardon,'' the source told The Associated
Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
In a statement issued through a spokeswoman Wednesday night, Clinton
said: ``As I have said repeatedly, I made the decision to pardon Marc Rich
based on what I thought was the right thing to do.''

Nix the alcohol while you're pregnant:
Steering clear of alcohol may be easy if, like many women, you develop
a dislike for the stuff early on in your pregnancy. But if you tend to
use alcohol to unwind, giving it up may require more effort.
Experiment with replacing that glass of chardonnay with other
stress-reducing pleasures such as a warm bath, soft music, a massage,
exercise, or reading. If you miss the ritual of drinking, try
replacing that Bloody Mary with a virgin variety or switch to
nonalcoholic beer or wine during your evening meal. If your partner
enjoys a drink after work, consider asking him to abstain for a time
so you won't feel so deprived.
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!
When to give your baby a bath:
You'll want to stick to sponge baths with a lukewarm washcloth for the
first week or so, until your baby's umbilical cord stump falls off and
the area heals. After that you need to bathe a newborn only once or
twice a week. (Babies just don't get that dirty until they start
crawling around.) Use a soft soap and don't fill the tub too much -- a
few inches is all you need.
NOTE! Always check with and follow the advice of your physician!!
