Approval by TW of interim rate schedule (3/15/00) (w/copy of rate schedule attached) If you need copies of these letters, let me know and I'll send them to you also.
dev41
You crack me up.
dev41
I was going to email you today and tell you about the Bruce Cockburn concert.
dev41
I am definitely interested.
dev41
Don't know what I'm doing this weekend, nothing scheduled as of yet so let's try and do something.
dev41
Yes, I am interested in chipping in on a gift, just let me know what and how much.
dev41
I've heard that I-10 Chronicles CD is really good, I'll have to check it out.
dev41
Also, do you have Ray Wylie Hubbard's Crusades of the Restless Knights?
dev41
Every cut I hear from it on KPFT is so good.
dev41
Sorry so short with the email.
dev41
Even though they may be short I should be able to email throughout the day.
dev41
Hi Mum!
dev41
No, tickets were hard to come by.
dev41
Tried to get some they released a couple of weeks ago, but didn't realize everyone would send their secretaries and interns downstairs to hold places in line!
dev41
I'm sure the VPs will get tired of going to the games, and start giving tickets away.
dev41
Tonight is the big CAM gala.
dev41
Bill was in trial all week and had no time to go shopping, or even to get measured for an ordinary tux rental, so he borrowed one from Andre (who owns 4).
dev41
Andre is a couple of inches shorter than Bill.
dev41
Depending on the overall look, I may or may not acknowledge that Bill is my date.
dev41
My 60's dress I got at Wear It Again Sam looks fabulous.
dev41
It is a sleeveless gown with an empire waist; the top is maroon velvet and the rest is very heavy pink satin.
dev41
Since it wraps in the back I was able to move the hooks over to get it to fit.
dev41
Dress was $38 but it cost $35 to get it hemmed!
dev41
Ann and I were considering asking Mema to do our hair, but I'm really going to be pressed for time this afternoon.
dev41
Too bad the party is not on a Saturday.
dev41
Our plans for the rest of this weekend are still up in the air.
dev41
What are you doing the weekend of the 16th?
dev41
Bill has signed up for the MS150 again that weekend.
dev41
If you are free that weekend why don't I plan to come either Fri.
dev41
or Sat.
dev41
a.m. Let me know.
dev41
Our law conference begins Thurs.
dev41
a.m. in San Antonio.
dev41
Dot (Staci's boss) is having a party at her house on Lake McQueeney on Wednesday, so I'm driving Frazier and Tony in the Dentmobile that morning.
dev41
We really do have a fun group; it should be a good time.
dev41
If K&J want company I'll drive over to see them on Thurs.
dev41
night instead of going to the awards dinner, which was a big drag last year.
dev41
I'll call them this weekend and see what Jim's travel plans are.
dev41
Today we'll find out about settlement in the California proceeding...this will decide whether I will be tied up in hearings for most of May.
dev41
Keep your fingers crossed!
dev41
Love,
dev41
The two new pub codes that need to be addded to TAGG are: Thanks.
dev41
See the attached.
dev41
Enron Corp. has already authorized Brian Cherry to add Enron to the list of parties at the end of the document.
dev41
I recommend TW do the same.
dev41
I propose that we ask Brian to add TW to the list, with a footnote that we support the transmission proposal only and do not oppose the other parts of the term sheet.
dev41
(I propose this out of an abundance of caution because in one part of the document Brian states the parties have agreed on comprehensive settlement, but later in the document he states that the parties aren't fully committed yet.) If he will not agree to do this, then I would suggest we leave TW off the list and file a letter with the CPUC along the lines of what I circulated yesterday, with additional language supporting the motion for extension of time.
dev41
Let me know what you think.
dev41
The Pub code has been changed to IF-ELPO/SJ.
dev41
Sorry for the mix-up.
dev41
Brian: Transwestern Pipeline Company asks that it be included on list of parties to the Motion for Modification of the Procedural Schedule, with the following footnote: Transwestern supports the portions of the settlement proposal pertaining to transmission rights, and the designation of primary and secondary rights described on Appendix A. Transwestern does not oppose the other parts of the settlement.
dev41
Susan Scott Transwestern Pipeline Company
dev41
Now that two settlement proposals and a motion to extend time have been filed, there is no telling what the CPUC will do.
dev41
My recommendation is that we play it safe and assume we will need to file testimony on April 17.
dev41
To that end, it's time to review some basics.
dev41
In its July 8, 1999 decision, the Commission stated: "We see reason to pursue a change in protocol for receiving gas at Hector Road, even in the short term. If there are burdens that would unfairly fall upon Transwestern customers is a window was established at Hector Road, we want to hear about it in the next phase of the proceeding. In addition, we seek specific proposals as to how such an arrangement should be defined."
dev41
Accordingly, the testimony we file should explain: 1.
dev41
The unfair harm that could potentially befall TW customers if Hector Road were established as a formal receipt point 2.
dev41
Our proposal for making Hector a formal receipt point by establishing primary and secondary receipt points 3.
dev41
Why our proposal is fair and consistent with Commission policy (here we might want to draw analogies to the interstate system and explain why that works) I will also have an opportunity to make legal and policy arguments in a brief after testimony has been filed.
dev41
Let's discuss how best to go about drafting the testimony.
dev41
I think the best thing to do would be to outline the testimony, then decide who is going to say what.
dev41
I'm available after about 2:00 today.
dev41
Not at all!
dev41
Fawcett's the antsy one; he is anxious to use his new honorary law degree (ahem!).
dev41
I agree it would be risky to indicate our wholehearted support of a settlement when the agreement has yet to be written.
dev41
It would be like giving SoCal a signed blank check (that's carte blancheto us lawyers), and we don't trust them that much.
dev41
Once we've signed a real agreement, I do want to file something in support.
dev41
I'm just trying to plan ahead, is all.
dev41
Aurora, I do not think we have estimated the costs for 2000 because what we will have to do as far as containment of PCBs this year is the subject of some dispute.
dev41
I will get you a breakdown of 1999 costs as soon as possible.
dev41
Do we have an estimate of PCB decontamination costs for 2000?
dev41
AA is asking...
dev41
Here is the breakdown of 1999 PCB decontamination costs for TW: Remove PG&E filter separator $ 10,000 If you need the costs broken down in more detail, or need more information, please give me a call at x30596.

"In an age when cloying, dumbed-down Internet "chat" threatens to reduce discourse to the linguistic equivalent of casual Fridays, men's-room vernacular is seeping alarmingly past its Pine Sol perimeter, infecting what is left of conversational civility. Well-articulated sublimation--which has produced some damned fine (and sexy) art, music, and literature over the millennia--is no longer the default mode of expression. That ageless Hot Boy, Michelangelo's David, could only have been produced through deft restraint. But try telling that to some WWF instant Adonis with a protein-supplement habit."

dev41
Are you experiencing some sort of split personality today?
dev41
Should I start referring to you as Ben or MaximMan depending on your responses?
dev41
I am somewhat frightened that you would allow yourself to be referred to as MaximMan.
dev41
While I realize you are a fan of the magazine, professing so too loudly may hinder your efforts with the ladies (some of us do have a shread of dignity, which that periodical in particular attempts to tear away).
dev41
My advice is keep it in the closet or bathroom or where ever it comes in most "handy".
dev41
It occurred to me last night after you two had left that we never quantified what constitutes a "good" girl.
dev41
And, given that oversight I may have been remiss in stating that Wilson was not ready for said good girl.
dev41
Just as the opinion of women in Texas differed between you Yanks and the Texas boys at the table, I am inclined to believe that our definitions of a "good" girl may not be in line.
dev41
P.S.
dev41
-- A person in their nineties is referred to as a nonagenarian.
dev41
(We really should have figured that one out last night.)
dev41
Wilson, I treasure your NY attitude.
dev41
I think part of the reason you find so few hotties in Houston/Texas is that travel and exposure add such an intangible element to a person and very few Texas girls have experienced either.
dev41
I think everyone has a different definition of good, some more lenient some more stringent.
dev41
At least that has been my experience.

The Word of the Day for April 6 is: 1 a : the food of the Greek and Roman gods b : the ointme or perfume of the gods *2 : something extremely pleasing to taste or smell 3 : a dessert made of oranges and shredded coconut Example sentence: "We feasted that evening as on nectar and ambrosia; and n the least delight of the entertainment was the smile of gratification with which our hostess regarded us, as wesatisfied our famished appetites on the delicate fare she liberally supplied."
dev41
(Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre) Did you know?
dev41
"Ambrosia" literally means "immortality" in Greek; it is a derivative of the Greek word "ambrotos," meaning "immorta which combines the prefix "a-" (meaning "not") with (meaning "mortal"). In Greek and Roman mythology, only immortals -- gods and goddesses -- could eat ambrosia. Th mythological gods and goddesses also drank "nectar," whicin its original sense, refers to the "drink of the gods."
dev41
(Even today, you'll often find the words "ambrosia" and "nectar" in ea other's company.) While the "ambrosia" of the gods prevented death, we mere mortals use "ambrosia" in reference to thi that just taste or smell especially delicious.
dev41
Just wanted to let you know that the Richardson deal has been entered into TAGG.
dev41
The deal number is NE2760.
dev41
I think I had too much nectar last night.
dev41
Richard, you can remove my name from the distribution list as I have rotated to a new group and am no longer working in the controls group.
dev41
Thank you.
