Thin mud is better than thick...

They both fix it.    For the benefit of anyone else wondering, the
lay explanation is that Dale's does something to change the way it acts
when you close it, and Richard's changes the way the date is seen in the
first place, so the yy instead of 109 shows up as 09 again...

I'm sure it's quite the experience, both sight and sound.  :)  We get a
lot through here, too, but I don't think it's usually in the Ks... :)
