But all that stuff only works if your recipient has the same software, no? Well, except the delayed send.

I think someone tried to recall something they sent me once. I got this very cryptic followup email that was part garbled code, part automated message about deleting earlier email. I read the offending email anyway. It was lame.

TAR: I watched it last night and I am very sad to see the Gaghans go and about Nora Deirdre's question: I think that the challenges are much less challenging this season. I'm hoping that now that the youngest of the children are gone -- that the challenges will be more difficult.

Well, if it is possible to change them on the fly. (I imagine that it would be possible for some of them.)

I was planning to go vote, by foot, after work, with Casper in the stroller. But then I found out that two people have been killed in the last week on the block I'd have to walk down. Note that this block is ONE block from my house, so walking down it is not putting me in muich potential jeopardy that I'm not in by just living in my house. So I'm being illogical, and will probably go vote.

The two deaths were 1) hit and run in the alley behind the block. (We have the same alley behind my house. Guess who wishes we had a fence to prevent Casper-in-the-alley now?) 2) shooting death in an apartment, presumably due to something that does not endanger people walking down the street at 4pm.

Cooking for Engineers has a pumpkin pie recipe with photographs here.

Linkeat Emptor. I have not made this recipe myself - the only pumpkin pie I have ever baked was a long time ago when I lived in the UK and had only the vaguest idea what the final product was supposed to be like. You may insert your own humorous conclusion to this story and you will probably be correct.

Canned pumpkin = pumpkin in a can (although the pumpkin is often cut with butternut squash, since today's pumpkins are bred for good looks more than good taste).

Canned pumpkin pie filling = pumpkin pie filling in a can. May legally contain up to 5% pure(*) evil.

• Note: Legally, "Pure" evil can contain as little as 65% evil.

Oddly, The Snow Queen is one of my least favorites. But I think that is bacause thrall is one of those things that indicates strength of mind.

That is so.

Tom, what's that tag from? I know it but my brain won't give me the id jackpot.

Eek, flea! Careful!

So, here's a question: I recently re-subscribed to Lucky. I just today got in the mail the October, November AND December issues, and they say my subscription expires in September. Can I call bullshit?

It's from Dr. Katz, sweety:

Ben: "I'm saying, Dad, that it's lonely at the top. So if you wanna ride my gravy train, you better hop on, now."

Dr. Katz: "Why do you think this is the top? I mean, you could be lonely for any number of reasons."

Ben: "What are you trying to say?"

Dr. Katz: "I'm saying, you're a lonely guy. ... Don't blame it on being at the top."

I KNEW IT.

Thanks!
