    I don’t generally do requests for anonymous commenters. But in your case, Nada, I’ll make an exception.

    I can just tell these things. Especially in the case of people posting from fixed IPs. It’s a mysterious power that I have.

  6. The arrangement of the food on the plate is excellent, btw.
