But it was half past ten in Minnesota when I sent that email!  So it was one
in the morning in Newfoundland, and I'm okay.  Whew!  Now I only have half
an hour to go even in Minnesota.  So even back on the east coast of the US
I'd be okay.

More Friday irrelevancy:  Where on earth does the name Hakkapelliitta come
from???  It's a delightful name!

When it's 8:30 pm in MN, it's 2.5 hours later in Newfoundland, the
easternmost province of Canada.  So not quite Friday.  But who's counting?

English question:  Should this snip from the email below:

:::Right now I have a
:::jury-rigged wire holding things up

say "jury-rigged" or "gerry-rigged?" or "jerry-rigged?"

jury-rigged - as in rigging a jury

gerry-rigged - as in gerrymandering, which would of course be quite
appropriate for this list - Gerry, I mean, not elections.

jerry-rigged - doesn't relate to anything, I think.  Jerry cans?  I don't
know what they are anyway.

Sorry, I'm sometimes a bit of a word geek...  In eastern Canada it's already
Friday, I think, even though somewhere west of Minneapolis, where I am right
now (in a rather nice state park at which I am the ONLY camper!), I believe
it's still Thursday.
