I go vegan, with beans and soy crumbles (Nutrela, from the Indian grocery) to give it texture and more protein. I also make three different kinds: green (cannellini/Great Northern beans), mole (kidney/pinto beans), and (imitation) Texas Roadhouse (kidney) (though I suspect when I have used up my current TR blend of spices, I will retire that one).

In that case, it's just as well that a tunnel under the Bering Strait has never been built. I would have embarrassed myself by calling it the Strunnell. -- Keith F.

YASID: I seem to recall an old SF story about such a construction project. It discovered ancient remains of a similar project, which proved to be the results of time travel. Does anyone recall this?

Maybe someone sent that story back through time? Also, a friend of mine described Forward's _Dragon's Egg_ to me in the '70s. It wasn't written until the '80s. -- Keith F.
