I, and I’m sure others, appreciate your hospitality during this and other outages. Youse guys rock! I mainly lurk at your places on a daily basis, and I think you both maintain fun places to hang. Many thanks!! ---

And my thanks, too, Opal. Hopefully they’ll be able to dry the hamster out. I’ve got a blow dryer they can use. ---

Be careful when you send hugs to **Una** , though as she’s still recovering from her broken ribs… Huzzah for **Opal**! Huzzah for **Una**! ---

Yoiks, I forgot about **Una** ’s ribs! Perhaps it would be better to squeeze her hand and smile gratefully. Or whatever expression of gratitude works for you. ---

We really should have a huzzah for them anytime, regardless of wether the boards are down or not. They do run their own boards well. ---
