Surrogate BB for 12/1

WARMUP: while the posting numbers are inaccurate, due to the many folks that don’t find the BB system worth their time… Some of us enjoy seeing the numbers climb.

Getting these done increases the accuracy of that,
and any motivation is good motivation IMHO.

MARY: abdominal type stuff
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter type stuff
