And a good thing, I guess, since I am not allowed to order anything else until the last order arrives, and I know how hammered you are so that might be a while and maybe these won't vanish while I can't look.

Didn't they already do this, only for Rick Santis?

Please. My fault for the weird Pride and Prejudice reference, and you have all my sympathy.

Anyway, grabbed. If these look as much like a falling star happened to fall right onto your finger as it looks like from the picture, you have two very lucky winners.

I got the studs too. I didn't want to add to your stress by nagging earlier, and now I feel like a big winner.

OK, I thought I asked for this days ago, but got no reply/link. Can I grab it now, at this price point, and we can forget the earlier attempt?

Oh, Herself, for sure. The little smile of internal confidence, the fall of the pearls, the bejeweled hair. And the way the pleats in that skirt are nailed down and not out of control.

Alas, my issue is different, or I think it is. Mine is just random incoming not arriving, or arriving a day or two late. And it's intermittent, which makes troubleshooting it the actual worst.

But YES, GODDAMMIT. If it's file size, they see it and they should bloody well tell you.

Damn, I'm having similar issues with Proton. They're trying to troubleshoot, but I can't give them the headers from emails that NEVER ARRIVED. Especially the ones where I didn't know they were being sent, and followups didn't arrive either.

Cf. Tolkien: "So deadly and ineluctable is the underlying thought, that those who in the circle of light, within the besieged
hall, are absorbed in work or talk and do not look to the battlements, either do not regard it or recoil."

Plenty of upset people, not regarding it as hard as they can.

Are you looking ahead for 2027, or is it still too early for that?

(You already know this, but Massachusetts does all its muni elections on odd years. Every August-November is an election cycle here.)

I am fascinated by what's happening with moissy. The prices! The cuts! It was not like this ten years ago when I last looked, and I remain grateful to you for cluing me in.

Looking forward to whatever you do with this, and maybe pictures.

Not for long. The plane made an emergency stop some 15 minutes later so law enforcement could haul him off. Probably easier for everyone to keep him in first class near the doors.

OK, in vain have I struggled, blah blah. I'll give one of these a home.
