I lived in Greece for 5 years and it is traditional lore that you should
whitewash your house for Easter. Most people do, but leave it till the

last
minute. This is of course very traditional as well, called in UK and USA
businesses as "Just in Time" and considered a virtue, laziness if you are
another nationality.The day after most of the whitewashing occurred we had
the same winds and sand and lived for a year with brown freshly

whitewashed
houses!


Gee, what place in Greece did that happen? Never heard of that.

P.S. Yannis, I am sure that the Olympics will teach the rest of the world
what true just in time management really means, if it is not a huge

triumph
I shall be very surprised.


We sometimes amaze our own selves. I've heard that the good work that has
been done during the last month is more than what had been done for many
preceding months.
