Well, I was later than I'd care to admit with my fall treatments.  Strips
went in later than 10/15, but out over Thanksgiving weekend.  I had
anticipated losses much higher than I realized.  I cannot guess what would
be the cause of my relatively unscathed winter, other than my summer
vacation bringing back some of the luck of the Irish.  Lloyd and I are in
close proximity, but others nearby experienced heavy losses.  I cannot guess
why there were such varying results.
