Answering from Boyd Pond, 14 July.

Which I don't have at the moment, but which you almost always do, having
smartphones...

 NB>> He'd heard about it in the echo and from the picnic (which he missed

 RH> It's not a thing to lightly consider consuming. (G)

Nor something to eat alone... unless one really really liked it... (G)
That's a lot of fruit to eat all at once...  and getting into it isn't
all that easy either, as I recall... ;)
 
 RH>> Sharing allowed for good behavior?
 NB>> It's your MW's, so your call...  ;)

 RH> As of now, we're not planning to stop in M'ville but just visit Dad
 RH> in Oneonta.
 
Won't have to worry about sharing, then... at least with your
brother.... :)
 
 RH>>> ... Nothing is ever lost. It's just where it doesn't belong.
 NB>>> Exactly...  (G)
 RH>> And around here, finding the new place to keep anything can be
 RH>> interesting. It's a matter of "now where was I keeping this item
 RH>> before I used it and put it in the dishwasher yesterday?" kind of
 RH>> thing, mostly in the kitchen.
 NB>> Yup... especially the kitchen, where there's so many more things to
 NB>> have potentially found new homes for...  ;)  Eventually you'll get
 NB>> used to the new places for things...  and usually you'll remember
 NB>> just fine... except for the days when the memory jumps in with a
 NB>> previous kitchen setup instead...  (G)

 RH> That can be all too often. It's easier when there's a break in time

 RH> the other.

And then you'll get to overlay the Vermont church kitchen... ;)

... Tact is knowing how far to go in going too far.
