Patty Lebbing, Prairie Grove, Arkansas

Dear Patty: The stench of burning popcorn in our office microwaves has become so overwhelming that we’re considering reverting back 40 years and brown-bagging it.


ONE GIANT GOOF
Perhaps in your “40 and Proud of It” article [UpFront, September 1], symptoms of that milestone were making themselves known. Considering the significance of the event, how could you possibly get the year that Neil Armstrong walked on the moon wrong? Remember watching those grainy black-and-white images live?

Barry McPherson, Los Gatos, California

Sure we remember, Barry, but that was 35 ... oh, wait ... 37 years ago. See? We’re still having trouble with numbers. Which is why we’re journalists instead of mathematicians. But thanks to you and everyone else for making us aware of our error.
