Hello Shawn!

My time here as I write is 8:22a, Sunday.  I guess your system  
doesn't implement the TZ kludge?

I wondered about that.  I don't want to short you from a  
backup.

Wrt Lloyd, I heard that he was the first news anchor to garnish  
a $2M salary at one point.

It was an interesting moment.. when he first came into the  
shop, he just seemed like an ordinary man who asked me if I  
would take some books for the shop - they were extra copies of  
a biography of Lloyd Robertson.  Then it took about 10-15  
seconds until I connected the picture on the cover of the book  
with the person standing in front of me as he continued to talk  
a little bit. It was that distinctive VOICE that sounded so  
familiar.  I was gonna say "Hey, you sound very much like.."   
Then it dawned on me that WAS actually him.  We had a laugh.   
Apparently he has a cottage on the Baptiste Lake in this area.   
I always pictured him as being tall, but he is not.

Wrt to the other Robertson, that dude is much taller and  
probably over 6ft.
