Dear XenopusTex:

You wrote 10/10: “Hehe Anita, I hear that..” You wrote “Hehe”- how unlike you and how refreshing, an unusual to you lightness, light heartedness. I am excited at this change. And then, in the last post you wrote:”I probably should treat you folks with more respect.” So, now I am elated and hopeful: a … light hearted AND respectful XenopusTex? You made my evening!

Please excuse a note to Seaisland below, I hope it is okay with you (?)

* Dear Seaisland: my goodness! Six days evacuated? A hurricane- never experienced a hurricane. For crying out loud! There is some storm here, Western Washington. Danger: trees falling on me. Thank you for caring- your comments are precious, make me feel really good inside. Be safe and congrats for the calm in the storm!
