[Buddha-l] Rain

[Stephen Hodge]

Dear Joanna,

How's things ?

I see that you guys are getting the rains now.  We've had a little let up 
but the temperatures have been unseasonally low.  It'll be a cold winter, I 
suspect.

On Buddha-L, have you noticed how dear Dan is again trying to wriggle out of 
evidence that he really doesn't read Chinese too well ?  Still, what he 
doesn't know is that the material -- from which his earlier quote came --he 
has translated for the Numata Foundation will probably be vetted and edited 
by me anyway.  Hee, hee.

As for "tut tut" which you asked about a while ago, do you really not have 
that over there ??  It's a representation of noise of the tongue clicking on 
one's hard palate done to show disapproval.  Not to be confused with the 
Afro-Caribbean equivalent, "teef kissin", which is more of a suction on the 
lower lip.  So now you know ...

Best wishes,
Stephen
