Hey Nancy!

 NB> There's a bit of the iconoclast in me...  so, not totally
 NB> joking...

Noted.

 NB> So, watch for that test in April....?

I dropped those since they were too far away and I am certain the 99 day 
countdown works fine.

 NB> I see you have a 3-day overlap test going currently... :)

Those replaced the April ones and will end Saturday ... thank goodness.  I just 
wanted to make sure the 'right' thing happened.  Given the first one has gone 
by and got dropped from the list I am sure the same will happen with the 
overlapped one on Saturday.  After that Little Mikey will go silent.  Should I 
make it permanent, or find something less annoying as a countdown?  Speaking 
for myself I am content that something like it is easily within reach with a 
little bit of effort.

 NB> It did ok this year, changing 2018-01-01 to 2019-01-01 at the
 NB> appropriate time...  :)

As well as remained in the list as shown below.  The same should happen with 
the 2024-11-05 one except it will change to 2034-11-05.

 NB> And now the freeze in New Orleans....

I heard Florida and snow except last week.

 NB> I'd be just as glad to appreciate the beauty from a safe
 NB> distance...

That has been my strategy.

Life is good,
Maurice
