Following up on conversations in Anaheim (after a comment thread ranting about Gee Whiz):
Chatting with Barry and Pam/canseefour, etc., and the temptation to work Cross on a Run Away: My C-4 singing call "Only You" lyrics are now on the web. The combination "The K and Run Away" can be replaced with "and then Cross Run Away" (since they are equivalent), but I like the sound of "The K" better. It also gives people more rope, on a silver platter. "The K" is strongly associated with "Cross" in most people's minds, but not usually because of Run Away.
Also, my C-1 singing call figures (c.1986) that I mentioned to someone (but can't remember who) are on the web:

Firefox seems to be weird about sometimes (for a URL pasted into the address bar? XP but not Win2K?) wanting to download .txt files and open them with Notepad as an external application. On the other hand, I accidentally discovered that the HTTP server will look for the .txt file and send it as text/plain if the URL has no extension, and Firefox seems happy to display it:
http://www.stanford.edu/~zbear/C-1singers
A quick Google search (html .txt "no extension") reveals bloggers using a similar trick, changing the server default to text/html in order to get a shorter and cooler-looking URL.
