***Mat-mech in Piter, mech-mat in Moscow. "Everybody knows..." :)Sure. Let them snobs sort it all out. I am strictly an LPI FRE man... FRE rules!
***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?Too complicated. Need a calculator to figure that out. Would that be 20 plus 60? I knew I could do it!
***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.Some things change for worse too. You didn't have that traffic twenty years ago. You didn't have those ugly parking lots either. You didn't have Yeltsin, but I am not sure if this is better or worse.

*** "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.I know you intentionally left out the size of your drink, just to preserve the tranquility of this board members. Now, honest, is one drink 500mL or closer to 750?
I still remember the standard calculation for most *good* parties back in Russia - one bottle of vodka per person (that included women and children) plus wine and beer.
***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!Quite true.

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?Working on it...
My regards to folks in Moscow.
>>>***My regards to folks in Wilmington. Had to look @ website to reply this,
Well, I thought "everyone knew"... You are breaking my heart.
***now I wonder whether the choice of *Beethoven* Drive was intentional? :)True address. When we were house hunting, my wife saw the street name and didn't want to look any further. It helped that the house was real nice too. The company started in my 2500 sq. foot basement, all equipped, and stayed there for couple of years, until some day my wife kicked everyone out. She allowed us to keep the address though. It DOES sound right, doesn't it?
BTW, speaking of movies, started watching yesterday a strange one: The Raggedy Rawney. Still don't know what to think about it. Have you seen it?
Could you give me a list of good recent Russian movies - I can get them all here, just need to know what to ask for and the guy who runs the shop is not much into the fine art of movie making. All genre's will be fine, including some nice action. If you could go back few years - that would be swell. I have seen many, but I am sure not most.
