Hi Daryl!
Sort of on the subject, once got power up and turned that UPS on got
fiber optic service almost immediately -- had to wait a minute or two
for the handshake to complete. Was a bit concerned as the connection
box at the pole was partially knocked loose from the storm (which
reminds me: need to check not fixed yet and call that in). Also could
have had a broken trunk somewhere.

Nope. "You will" isn't a good statement for a relationship.

Some people (like you) do have a reaction to the acid in tomatoes --
what caused them to be thought to be poisonous in the Middle Ages (?)
because the acid in the juice leeched the lead out of the pewter dishes
and sickened or killed people.
As for spiciness -- is relative. I like spicy but not to the point of
my mouth (or the other end!) is on fire. Gal from India I worked with
at the store would sometimes bring in dishes to share with friends. Her "barely
any spiciness" was my "that's the maximum amount", others had
the "holy [bleep!]" reaction.

... If antacids among condiments on the table, don't order anything spicy.
