TODAY'S TRIVIA - - -

What causes Indian summer?
Why is it called "Indian summer"?
--------------
ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Is it true that the big "beehive" hairdos popular in the
1950s led to deaths from insect infestation?
Pure urban legend! According to the legend, which has
many variants, a girl wearing a big beehive or bouffant
hairdo never washes it, but just keeps applying more
and more hairspray to hold it up. Eventually she dies,
or faints, or falls ill, and it is discovered that a whole nest
of black widow spiders or other venomous insects have
taken up residence in her hair!
What is Indian summer?
If you live in the Northeast United States, it's what you
experienced for a few wonderful days last month: a
period in mid- or late-autumn characterized by
abnormally warm temperatures, clear skies, hazy
days, and cool nights.

Trying to keep thePEBBLE out of the clutches of your
spam filters is almost an impossible job. It is like chasing
moonbeams. Every spam filter has a different set of
qualifiers. I have decided I will not chase them.
thePEBBLE has been, is and will continue to be a
highly honorable publication dedicated to serving
our readers. There is no logical reason spam filters
cull it out of your mail, except for the odd word here
or there in an ad, or in a story or article. That is why
I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who
loyally follow the publication, especially The Saga Of
Pinehill.
I will continue to publish thePEBBLE daily and email
it to you. However, if your spam filter eats it, then you
can read it online.
Please note you can read thePEBBLE anytime you wish
by going to our web site and clicking on

Thank you for your very loyal support.
Thanx

Women Are From Paris,
Men Are From Vegas
by Ken Darby
The teacher asked a boy if he knows his numbers.
"Yes," he said. "I do. My father taught me."
"Good. What comes after three."
"Four," answers little boy.
"What comes after six?"
"Seven."
"Very good," says the teacher. "Your dad did a good
job. What comes after ten?"
The little boy smiled and said, "Jack."
Wouldn't you know it. Of course Jack comes after a ten.
I am about to head into stereotypical waters here and I
by no means think this is the case in every situation.
It is typical though, so bear with me.
I notice the way my sons spend time with their kids
doing homework and the like. It seems a man's
interests lie in different directions than doing that kind
of chore.
The grandchildren's mothers are happy, attentive, and
aware when it comes to helping the kids with the
homework. Their fathers appear to have their head
somewhere else. Now, take a kid to a hockey game, or
practice - thats a different story. Their fathers will do
that in a heartbeat.
So, you see, its perfectly logical that Jack comes
after ten.
I am so glad our Maker put both men and women in
this earth. Most men would not survive the culinary
jungle if it weren't for the mothering instincts of a woman.
Where a man may think globally he must leave it to
his wife or mate to look after the details.
And kids? They would be left to their own recognizance
if it weren't for mothers who care enough to teach and
train.
It is also commonly held that when it comes to love, the
ladies like things nice, calm, slow, meaningful. They
enjoy the meal out, the compliments and the niceties.
Men, however, have a tendency to be a little more
businesslike, to the point.
You do realize I am not sitting in judgment. I am only
observing patterns. I know there is a book out there
entitled "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus"
but coming down to earth I really think ,,,
Women Are From Paris, Men Are From Vegas.

Fats: The Good And The Not So Good
PART 2 of 8 (References will be at the
end of PART 8)
If You Are Confused About The Kinds Fats
That You Should Eat...Or Stay Away From,
This Information May Help.
I am also creating a short glossary of terms right at the
beginning so as you read the abbreviations, it will help
you understand the information more clearly. (I'll stay with
Dr. Bannock's description just to avoid any confusion.)
One other thing: as well, at the end, I am adding a little
more detail: short descriptions of cardiac terms, along
with the suggestion of a slight increase in your fish
consumption. The whole point of this information is for
you to understand why it's important to learn to make some
lifestyle changes. Many times we are told to loose weight,
and yes, we want to look better in our clothes, but without
lifestyle changes, there isn't much point of even beginning.
It's been proven over and over that you will pack on the
pounds again as soon as your body gets the signal it can
come out of the "starvation mode". Then it tends to hang
on to every bit of food ...just in case you decide you are
going to "starve" it again.
SOME BASIC TERMINOLOGY: Coronary heart disease
(CHD): Involves the heart muscle itself. (Undesirable)...
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFAs): fat from fish and fish oil. (Desirable)...
Arrhythmias: Heartbeat irregularities (Undesirable)...
Coronary arteries: blood supplying the heart muscle itself. ...
Saturated fat and trans-fatty acids: fat that is less than helpful.
(Undesirable)...Atherosclerotic plaques: buildup of plaque
in blood vessels. (Undesirable)...Triglycerides: the major
fat formation circulating in the blood (Acceptable under 200
)...HDL ("good") High Density Lipoprotein. (Desirable...LDL
("bad") Low Density Lipoprotein (Undesirable)...

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET
<><><><>
THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many
adventures and many places.
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

Ever so slowly Ted Kuzik got up from his
position beneath the pile of rubble. He was
breathing fine now. His wounds were all healed,
his clothes clean and he was fully able to resume
his life.
"Th...thank you Tim. I had no idea I would
ever need your powers and abilities. I guess you
and your family don't think much of me do you?"
"We don't think about such things Mr. Kuzik.
You are free to conduct your life the way you
wish. However, we don't respond well to
selfishness and where we see it we usually tend to
stay away. We will not serve those who are self
centered and wish to use us only for their own
gain. It is nothing personal. We react the same
way to all who are like that. If you are like that
you may well expect us to react to you that way.
If you are not like that then we will not react
that way. It is really simple. The choice is
always and only yours."
"Yet you served me, just now!"
"Yes. Mr. Kuzik, you were about to die. The
weight of the stone and rock on your chest was
slowly squeezing the air out of you. Another five
minutes and you would not be with us. I am pleased
to have been here and able to serve."
"I know I was going to be dead. I couldn't get
that weight off my chest and I couldn't breath."
"That is what was called "stoning" a few
millenniums ago. It was a punishment laid out by
those who sat in judgment. If one was sentenced
to death they would lie that person flat on the
ground and then proceed to lay one or two heavy
stones on their chest. Eventually the weight of
the stones got to a point where that person could
no longer breath. They would slip into a coma and
then quite breathing. Death would soon follow.
That is what was happening to you."
"Is that what they called stoning? I never
knew. It is not a nice condition, not being able
to get your breath."
"Has this incident made you think a little
about your work and the way in which you conduct
yourself?"
"How do you mean?"
"Well, you missed an interview today because
of your selfishness. Here tonight you nearly took
the life of your cameraman and nearly lost your
own life as a result of the same driving
foolishness to get a story. Has any of this sunk
into your head?"
"I...I don't know. That is what a news man
does. That's how he gets the stories."
"Do you see other news people lying under the
pile of rubble? Did I see you at the interview we
gave at our place?" If you look over there you can
see three TV cameras rolling. They aren't anywhere
near the danger and they are getting their story.
Has it not occurred to you that a little caring
about those around you might go a long way?"
"What do you mean. I care about those around
me."
"Do you? Look at your cameraman. Look at the
way you aggressively push and antagonize people
just to get your story. Do you think others like
that? How about the lie you told all the other
reporters, thinking you alone would get an
interview from us. Do you think that sponsors
cooperation from others?"
"Not when you put it that way."
"No, I didn't think you would agree. I want to
point out something to you. How many people came
to your aid when you needed it?"
That point slammed into Ted Kuzik's mind as if
with a sledge hammer. It suddenly became clear to
him that people did not like him, to the extent
that none but one came to his rescue. What had he
done with his life that no one wanted him around?
He instantly went into a pensive state and one
that bordered on the realization of rejection. He
became sullen and silent. Slowly, he walked toward
his cameraman, Dick.
Ted Kuzik was not used to looking at himself.
He was sharp and always on top of events. He could
look at everything and interpret it for his TV
audience. But he never had a look at who and what
he was or had become. That no one came to his
rescue suddenly struck him a blow, a violent blow.
Tim walked with him. As they approached the
cameraman they could see he was all right. He was
coming out of shock and was conversing with a
nurse who was attending him. She stood to look at
Kuzik, appraising him for injuries.
"You are one lucky man Mr. Kuzik. Had it not
been for Mr. Henry here you would not have made
it." She could hardly believe he was without
wounds.
"I know." That was all Ted Kuzik, the motor
mouth of local television, could say. For a man
who earned his living by talking he was now,
miraculously, caught speechless.

OBSERVATIONS OF OUR BUSINESS
Since beginning the Project 2003 item, many of you have
become interested in following what we are doing in our
business.
It is a way of seeing some of the good things and not so good
things that happen to us along the way.
While it may not replicate your story, neither may it be replicated
by you, it does keep you updated on some of the trials and
tribulations of doing business on the internet.
We thought we would keep it up.

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!
There aren't any great men. There are just great challenges
that ordinary men like you and me are forced by
circumstances to meet."
---- William F. Halsey
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
HA! HA! HA!
President Bush was visiting a primary school and he visited
one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion
related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the
President if he would like to lead the discussion on the word
"tragedy". So the illustrious leader asked the class for an
example of a "tragedy". One little boy stood up and offered:
"If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field
and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a
tragedy."
"No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50
children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that
would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained the president. "That's what we
would call a great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush
searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can
give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand...
In a quiet voice he said: "If Air Force One, carrying You
and Mrs. Bush was struck by a "friendly fire" missile and
blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you
tell me why that would be tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy, "It has to be a tragedy, because it
certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't
be an accident either.
