    Why does the first c in Dave's "inaccurate" look funny? The little tail at the bottom is odd. I thought I had a speck on my monitor at first, which makes me think maybe Dave's messing with me.

    It's a cedilla, a small hook under the c that indicates vowel nasalization when pronouncing the letter.

    Thanks. That tells me the 'what', now I need the 'why'.

    Maybe he's pronouncing it in-ack-urate with a nasal florish on the ack.

    I'm thinking now he just long-pressed the c on his phone. Just happened to me when I tried to search for "licoriçe sugar."

    This can’t be good…

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Fired up the patio heater tonight to have a cigar before bed and then remembered to put on the heat deflector for the patio heater which makes it much more efficient for warming just one person sitting in the back yard.

    Thanks for the reminder John, I had a battery tender on the motorcycle that got knocked out by a nearby lightning strike last monsoon season. Have a hunch it was the led's that indicate this tender is working that got killed as I lost a couple other banks of led's but for the price of a tender vs a battery I just got another one ordered.

    I've gone to local shows here but have been disappointed to find that they are mostly finished jewelry and not so much focused on gems and minerals.

    Great idea for a get together, including the cigar on the porch.
