[Rhodes22-list] PDF downloads

[Robert Skinner]

Luis, 

Thanks for your reply.  It prompted me to make an 
experiment.  I use any one of 3 downloading browsers 
depending on the source of the material and the 
degree of risk I am willing to take in downloading 
it. 

I have been using the least secure browser to get 
posts from the Rhodes list.  It used to work with 
MJM's server-based attachments.  Now it doesn't.  
Dunno why, yet.

When I switched to getting your PDF download with 
Opera 8.x, I was able to decode it.  That tells 
me that the problem is on my end, at least in part.  
More research is warranted.

Now about your squirrel(s?)...  Since I built a 
new house, the trees are an appropriate distance 
from the roof, and our squirrels content themselves 
with the peanuts, corn, and birdseed we put out for 
all our forest friends.  

No more requirement for Draconic measures.

No more need to defend against the little devils, 
except that I have modified our bird feeders.  They 
now have galvanized steel stove pipe tubes 
surrounded by strong 1" mesh cylinders to limit the 
amount of seed that they can get in one pass.

Each successive generation of squirrels has become 
more used to humans nearby.  They love to come up 
to the slider on our deck and stare through it into 
the loving eyes of our two Labradors.  As long as 
we have the Labs, I doubt that we will have as 
close a relationship with our squirrels as you do.

How do you persuade the squirrels to leave when you
cannot guard the pantry?
