THE WEEKLY CARTOON: What Did You Say? EDITORIAL MATTERS I'm fighting with several new email programs the last two weeks or so. My old reliable Eudora 7 went crazy on my, and even reinstalls didn't help. Oddly enough, the other (identical) copies that I use for other email accounts continue to work just fine. Currently I'm trying FoxMail, DreamMail, and Sylpheed. I also have KomaMail, PegasusMail and PhoenixMail but I've not have a chance to get myself more confused by trying them out yet. That time will come. So I've been loosing mail and if your article or letter to the editor doesn't show up, try sending it again. Maybe in a week or a month I'll have everything under control. Yeah, right. Y'all will remember in Issue 519 (May 17, 2009) I mentioned I'd finished up a 5-fl-oz (148-ml) bottle of Tabasco(tm) Pepper Sauce that I first opened on June 13, 2006. I then opened a fresh 12-oz (355-ml) bottle, and extrapulated it might last until 2016 at the same rate of consumption. Well, how about that, I just yesterday used the last of that bottle! 12-oz in about 4-months. Golly!
