Ultimate white pages: This website is superb for searches in the USA (white pages and yellow pages). For searches worldwide, find the Telephone Directory for the country of your choice. For searches in the UK, try the British Telecom website. Once you have found your friend's address in the UK, you can find the postal code on the Royal Mail website, which you can then use to find out how to get there with a Map.         

News: If you do not listen to the BBC news on shortwave radio, ITN has a superb news website.

Cars: Look up information about the used car you want at Autobyinternet. Also see Autosite.

Cars: If you are thinking about buying a new car, read this first. A good vintage vehicle is a much smarter buy than a new vehicle.

Austin Music: Support live music in Austin. Here are three local bands: take a walk on the wild side!

Immigration Problem? Mr. Wellington Smith is an attorney here in Austin, Texas. His specialty is immigration problems: his website has lots of good information and answers to questions about immigration into the United States. He also collects Elliott Clocks.

Dr. Bradford Winegar: Anyone with sinusitis or other ear, nose or throat problems who lives in the Austin, Texas area and is looking for an ENT should visit Dr. Winegar (512 - 454 - 0395). He took exceptionally good care of me in very difficult times. Brad does not appear to collect clocks nor watches (yet).

Minimum Payments: use this calculator to find many years it will take to pay off your credit card if you only make the minimum payments.

Adaware: checks for spyware on your hard drive and asks if you would like to delete it. Protect your privacy. It's free.

ZoneAlarm: use this for your own security when you surf the internet. It's free.        

Social Stratification: Sociology students will be interested to read Dr. Cecil Headrick's thesis, explaining how the American Dream was systematically denied to the majority of Americans. Though it was written in 1941, so much of it remains true today!

Compendio Jurídico Dominicano: Estudiantes de la ley dominicana y abogados también pueden leer gratis el compendio del Dr. William C. Headrick, un abogado en Santo Domingo entre 1974 y 2002.

My "old schools:"
Sedbergh School: offered what was probably the best education money could buy, in a very traditional atmosphere. Sedbergh was a Dickensian boarding school for boys only, an anachronism in the Modern Age: since 1525. Their motto, "Dura Virum Nutrix," said it all.

University of St. Andrews: the oldest university in Scotland. This was the place to study. The work was overwhelming, no time for golf. I spent the best two years of my life here, my reward for six years in Sedbergh. Every day in St. Andrews was like living in history: since 1412. This is where I became interested in watches and clocks. Very traditional atmosphere.

College of William and Mary: in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Alma Mater of Thomas Jefferson: since 1693. If you prefer work that is not overwhelming and a quiet, traditional atmosphere in the United States, this is the place.
