Well since now I can't make the comments work, I will have to reply to Maggi, here. I missed the librarian letter on Morning Edition: what's the executive summary? As for pollen, I lasted outside with the laptop for all of ten minutes. In the end, fear of hurting the machine didn't drive me inside -- not liking the gritty feeling of pollen-coated keys did.

Also on public radio, I missed this, on cookery. Thanks, CW for drawing it to my attention!
