   Hello Shawn!   
      
   ** On Sunday 25.07.21 - 09:53, you wrote to me:

   My time here as I write is 8:22a, Sunday.  I guess your system     
   doesn't implement the TZ kludge?

   I wondered about that.  I don't want to short you from a     
   backup.

   Wrt Lloyd, I heard that he was the first news anchor to garnish     
   a $2M salary at one point.   
      
   It was an interesting moment.. when he first came into the     
   shop, he just seemed like an ordinary man who asked me if I     
   would take some books for the shop - they were extra copies of     
   a biography of Lloyd Robertson.  Then it took about 10-15     
   seconds until I connected the picture on the cover of the book     
   with the person standing in front of me as he continued to talk     
   a little bit. It was that distinctive VOICE that sounded so     
   familiar.  I was gonna say "Hey, you sound very much like.."      
   Then it dawned on me that WAS actually him.  We had a laugh.      
   Apparently he has a cottage on the Baptiste Lake in this area.      
   I always pictured him as being tall, but he is not.   
      
   Wrt to the other Robertson, that dude is much taller and     
   probably over 6ft.
