So far this morning I have been connected and dumped right away six times. The

hammering Mark's ports again (still).

Windows 10 isn't as much of a shock as the XP to W/8.1 leap. Just different
enough to make me say words from time to time.   Bv)=

Carol says she is going to put up a Scrabble door. That's a good thing. And
Sean e-mailed to say that Outpost has risen, like a Phoenix, once more.
