    We are soon in October. In the busy office I can hardly feel the
    smells of autumn, and people are talking about the autumnal
    reorganization. I'm sorry to be late for posting the chart...

    Anyway, here's a music chart from the far-east country. Ted, I
    received your package! now it's time to enjoy it. Thor, have you
    received my package posted last Thursday?
