Subj : Re: we are here and they are there ... so there To : Maurice Kinal From : Nancy Backus Date : Wed Jan 17 2018 17:31:12 -=> Quoting Maurice Kinal to Nancy Backus on 14-Jan-2018 04:51 <=- NB>> Who says one has to start with 99 every time, then...? MK> Tradition? I recall it starting out at 99, counting down to 'no MK> more', and then recycling back to 99 until someone changes the tune. Ideal for whiling away time.... MK> Theoretically once started it could go on for forever but it seems to MK> me that somewhere along the line it gets switched with another song MK> such as, "There Was a Farmer Who Had a Dog", aka "Bingo Was His Name-O" Sooner or later beer gets boring... even to those who apparently like the stuff... MK> ... and who can forget the enduring classic "Row, Row, Row Your Boat". Done as a round.... and then migrating to "Propel, Propel, Propel Your Craft"... MK>> That could work but it is a huge departure from the song. NB>> And is that so bad a thing, really...? :) MK> Heh, heh. Errrrr ... you're joking right? ;-) There's a bit of the iconoclast in me... so, not totally joking... :) MK> Anyhow the latest test I plan to overlap a date and if it works then MK> it will count down to 'no more' on 2018-04-21, reset to 7 the MK> following day for the 'no more' on 2018-04-29. After that it should MK> stop generating as I only have it configured for the two target dates MK> (one-shot-deal) for both. So, watch for that test in April....? I see you have a 3-day overlap test going currently... :) MK> That more or less will be a beta test for MK> the real events in 2024 (2024-11-05 followed by 2025-01-01). The MK> script should reset 2024-11-05 to 2034-11-05 and 2025-01-01 to MK> 2026-01-01 when it is appropriate to do so. It did ok this year, changing 2018-01-01 to 2019-01-01 at the appropriate time... :) NB>> If Fraser Valley is hard hit, they might take over the spotlight MK> It wasn't nearly as bad. No massive power outage this time. That's good... I'm sure they are relieved.. :) MK> Besides there was more than enough bad news earlier this week to shift MK> it to the background, the mudslides in California still topping the MK> news ... not counting Presidential brain farts of course. And now the freeze in New Orleans.... NB>> I'm thankful we aren't near mountains or even tall hills here... NB>> no avalanches near by.... :) MK> None close enough to here to do any local harm. However the ones on MK> the horizon (mainland) sure look nice with their snowcaps that can MK> easily turn deadly if you get close enough. The warnings are out, MK> especially after the latest storm. I'd be just as glad to appreciate the beauty from a safe distance... ;) NB>> That was indeed a stroke of very good luck for him MK> Indeed. The helicopter wasn't aware that he was missing and could MK> have easily passed him by. They were just assessing the current MK> avalanche conditions which is common this time of year. Had they waited until he was announced to be missing, he'd not have made it, more than likely... ttyl neb .... MeoOWW SPLATT! WooOOF SPLAT!
