Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> Those should be interesting...   
      
   You will be the first to know.   
      
    NB> Rain is a better waterer anyway...   
      
   Agreed.  So far June has been cool and somewhat wet.  May was hot and dry.    
   The flowers don't seem to be suffering any.   
      
    NB> I've seen it from time to time, with both Glenlivet and Macallan   
      
   I have a Macallan 10yo I bought awhile back.  It was about 10 CAD more than   
   the 12yo Glenlivet.   
      
    NB> And do you have any of that left now...?  ;)   
      
   No.  The 'hiding in plain sight' idea didn't work.  Another good theory bites   
   the dust.  However it definetly was enjoyed by all who partook.  I don't   
   regret buying it but I don't plan on repeating ... or at least not before 2024   
   and probably not even then.  We'll see.   
      
    NB> Of which, I seem to be drawing a blank... another countdown...?   
      
   Sept 24 is when '99 bottles of beer' becomes official for the Jan. 1st   
   cybertoast.  For Nov. 5th it is sometime late July but we shouldn't see that   
   kick in until July 2024, which if I am not mistaken should be 2243 days from   
   now (2342-99).  Doing the math and pumping the result into 'date' gives us   
   'Mon Jul 29 00:00:00 UTC 2024' or 2024-07-29 in cybertoast-speak.  I haven't   
   verified it but it looks about right.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice   
      
   ... Cybertoasts of note:   
       2019-01-01 is  207 days from now and falls on a Tuesday.   
       2024-11-05 is 2342 days from now and falls on a Tuesday.
