Interesting... Never heard a horse chestnut called a "buckeye" before. (Never
mind a "conker"!) Where do they call them buckeyes?
I'm originally from upstate NY, where horse chestnut trees seemed to be
everywhere you looked. I think we had four or five of them just on our
one-block-long street. Collecting huge bags of horse chestnuts was an autumn
ritual.

AFAIK, a "conker" in the Mother Country is a "buckeye" or "horse
chestnut" here in the Colonies. Likewise, "chuffed" loosely
translates to "stoked" -- at least out here on the western frontier.
Andrea is attending a needlepoint retreat at Asilomar later this year.
Given our Equal Hobby Allowance agreement, I am fairly stoked ...

Timing is good too, the initial units will be out, and no doubt
someone will say something on the reflector about them.
