I had a "glitch" for a few days so haven't seen it.  I don't know if
Steve has sent anything in the line of ideas & hint he has picked up
from several years of smoking stuff.

I've been trying to weed thru our accumulation of magazines--getting

 CS> Cash came up with 3 methods.

Did you ever get pictures of it?

Good; that means he's back to normal.

I've not yet encountered any hot chili here; thinking about it, no chili
except that which I've made.

I'm not as used to wasabi as other versions of heat.  So far tho, I've
been able to deal with it without problem.

You'll remember sooner or later. (G)  This may jog your memory.
