 RH> Gee I wonder why.  I'd be a little peeved too.

Most of the time I just look at the scores underneath the standings box,
if I read everything in detail, I'd never finish the paper or get
anything else done.

Somebody may want to know, just to show off a knowledge of mundane
minutia.

To your niece, eventually? Teach her how to use it and take care of it
before she gets it.

 RH> It's a thought. Or... add enough cheese and they won't

Something added or taken away, keep playing with the ingredients mix and
you'll come up with a winner at some point.

I understand; there are some times you just can't multi task.

 RH> >  RH> Mostly junk junk.  New stuff.  Ecch.

 RH> > Sigh!

 RH> One word for it.

Better hunting next time.

 RH> It went over 80 here today for the second day in a row.

We're expecting a major increase in humidity from the subtropical
system. As of now, it looks like we'll just get a bit of rain from it,
over the week end.
