Actually, the one time I did make essentially a stir-fry, I did manage
to avoid the charcoal disaster...  As I was sharing the small kitchen
with my nephew/son-in-law, one tried to not stay in the way any longer
than needed... and we mostly were eating not really compatible diets for
most of the week...

The sad thing was that the second thing I burnt was soup... and I didn't
really leave it alone for all that long... admittedly it wasn't a
particularly watery soup...  The cabins had both potable (cold) running
water and an inside facility...  As I said before, should we return
there another year, I'll have to rethink my meal planning and prep... :)

Having once upon a time lost one, I'm sure that my train of thought
would be similar... unless one saw it drop, though, twould be mighty
hard to find the owner.

Last I looked, his pearls of prose made it to all my alternate and
primary bbses, and were still available there online everywhere I
looked online, except for at Doc's, where the one missing message had
originated.  In the previous instance, the false positive dupe checking
kept the message(s) from making it to any other bbs, but the original
was still available on Doc's.  He's fixed the problem that caused that
anomaly, by the way... I've not seen either the mussed messages at Doc's
or the problem of the non-propagation thereby since...
