As always, LUPO is a most welcome diversion and a wonderful place to be published! Many thanks, Jerome.

Incidentally, for the first week or so of the current LUPO there was an annoying overlooked typo in the Competition 69 Living Easy or Queasy? announcement.The deadline is, of course, May 25th, not August 25th.
