[78-L] 78-L was down for 1.5 hours today %

[David Lennick]

As always, three cheers for Ron!

Lovely weather everywhere..around here, snow changing to rain which will 
probably be around all day tomorrow (with a bit of freezing stuff as well). 
Then clear on Christmas Day, then more snow followed by a heat wave on the 
weekend or something equally goofy. I apologize for all the aerosol deodorants 
I sprayed into the atmosphere in the sixties..

(Didn't notice that the list was down because I've been out in that crud, 
battling snow and slush and shoppers and checkout lines and having to travel 15 
miles to pick up my sister-in-law's Christmas package that went to the wrong 
bus terminal and in general, taking 3 hours to do what should have taken 1. Ho 
ho ho!)
