Hi, Victor
<<<
***Phys-Tech's... I spent good five years working in P-T
'environment'. Learned from 'em a LOT. Kinda perfect
complement for my mech-mat basics.I am getting forgetful. Refresh my memory re: mat-mech vs. mech-mat?
>>>Mat-mech in Piter, mech-mat in Moscow. "Everybody knows..." :)
<<<
***How far from Moscow is that?***~60 km from Kreml, :) ~1.5 hours car
That's one sloooooow car... What, are you pushing it all the
way from Kremlin? Yeah, I have seen Moscow traffic - about as
organized as Palermo... in Palermo you have to stop for dead
bodies, in Moscow it is holes, ah, and yes, some dead bodies too...
>>>No, I don't live in Kremlin... yet. Just tryin' to be precise.
Thing is, 20 of these 60 km are *inside* Moscow, so how far
is it from Moscow really?And yes, ~1.5 hours is more traffic than car problem. And roads...
You know, Russian troubles are fools and roads... some things never
change.

*** "Okhotnichya" is waiting... cheers!I need to refresh my taste of Okhotnichya - I think my store has it.
>>>Take care, it's 45 deg and contains a bit of Port. You can also try
my (proprietary:) way. I start from classical ice-cold and proceed
sloooooooowly, NOT trying to keep it cold, so it's warming in the process.
Final drinks are almost @ body temperature. The license is free for
non-commercial purposes.And BTW, your hot soup recommendation is spot on. It reveals less known
aspect of vodka ritual... it can be just a wonderful accompanement for
some great food!

By the way, those weavy lines on some of our front panels were not
Damascus steel, just a less-that-perfect manufacturing process.
>>>I'm disappointed... NOT! ;-) Question is, can you "design" some
nice... excuse for visiting Tula, based on this process?
<<<
My regards to folks in Moscow.
>>>My regards to folks in Wilmington. Had to look @ website to reply this,
now I wonder whether the choice of *Beethoven* Drive was intentional? :)
