Ralph,

Your' first message, the one you apparently sent at 12:25 this afternoon
(Tuesday), never made it down my way.  Your' second one, the one you sent at
7:09 this evening (which included your' first message) did make it.

Testing,,, I sent this about 8 hours ago and it has not shown up on the list
yet. Or did I miss something?
Maybe its snowing so hard here that the internet has slowed beyond its
normally slow speed limits.
