In brief, ARRGH!

I have been jammed for time, mostly involved with a recent local election. I have been part of a group of external volunteer “quality controllers” overseeing the conduct of the election so that we can document any missteps should they occur. All clean, mo issues. But the training and prep, the 15-hour day at the polls yesterday, today’s and tomorrow’s follow-up…

So, this afternoon I got a fresh start on May’s gallery, I believe I had successfully applied all of the lessons learned last month, the at the final stage I made a dumb change in a output file name, screwed up the gallery… I’ll start again tomorrow if the election certification process doesn’t take too long..

My apologies to those of you who submitted and those waiting to see what your fellow PDMLers have done.

It's like the football coach in High School used to say, "Boys, You're
gonna' keep runnin' that play 'til you GET IT RIGHT!"  😋

It won't make a lot of difference in the history of the next thousand
years, so don't let it worry you too much. We'll enjoy it when it gets here.

And an additional complication… the email from me that posted an hour or two ago - that was sent 6 days ago. But my mail system (and other aspects of my computer setup) went bonkers last week. (Forgive the technical jargon).  I have been working on the Mail issue, made some changes, it still looks wonky but maybe it is working?

Double aargh.
