Hi, Lactnet family -- MDH and I have just converted over all of our stuff from three different computers onto a new whizbang creature.  Hopefully, problems with transmission are all corrected now.  Over the next few days, if you notice anything weird when my posts arrive on your end, would you please write me and let me know what kind of things are happening?  TIA, 

Chanita, San Francicso, where it is raining -- yeah, because this means it could be clear and sunny on Sunday, when we have our annual Carnaval parade.  If you're in the area, come see the parade.  I'll be the one in feathers.
