I've had Taro crackers!  I like them but not for 'all the time'.  A little
treat.

Ah, so good to hear about it!  My pointers are so far behind, I may have to
just dump the rest and catchup that way.

The 11th typhoon out here is headed right at Sasebo, so I may be suddenly at
sea early for a bit. Got a day or so before we know more.

Giggles!  Yes.  Actually other than having 3 wives in the same town, he sounded
like a fairly decent fellow.  Took care of all 3 financially as well as the
kids for example.  The other 2 wives were not amused when they found out he
was dead.

Ok, I'm with ya on that one!  Anyways, 'good ol' James' per family records got
better recorded than he should have been but the pirate fellow (also named
James Cooper) per family got a bumb rap and was a good fellow.  Yes, Ben
Franklin had a thing for the younger ladies, like as in age 12.  We'd have
locked him up today.
