Subject: RE: BS: Sad day in Maine: last sardine plant
Alas, Kippered (now it says Kipper) Snacks are no longer on my healthy diet list. And Smoked Oysters.

When I was working on the road, we used to get out the black rum and indulge in these delights while telling stories. Back then, it was a common custom in many hotels in Atlantic Canada to prop the door open and allow vistors and visit others. I dare say that practice would not be prudent, and, I expect, would be frowned upon, these days.
