 		Well, ok, so now we know that the Collective Protective policy number is 23658. Someone who doesn't have a grumpy project manager go do something exciting with it. Go! Go!

 		Ok!
To Whom it May Concern:

My name is Dale Sprague and I am writing in regards to my missing personal effects from when I was a patient at Greatwater General and your e-mail that I received below. I am not able to pick up my items at this time but would like to see what was left behind.

Per your request my Company Incident Report (IR) number is 23658.

Please reply to this e-mail address (mrdoug1SPLATyahoo.com)

Thank you,

Dale Sprague

Subject: Notification of Unclaimed Personal Effects

Date: 07 March 2003

Dear former Greatwater General Medical Center Emergency Room Patient,

This is just to inform you that the personal belongings found upon you upon your admission to the Emergency Room at Greatwater General have been located and are available to be picked up at the Greatwater General Personal Effects Dept. during standard GWGMC staff office hours. We apologize for any inconvenience and believe your things may have inadvertently wound up in the wrong area reserved for fatalities temporarily and that is why they were unavailable at the time of your release. You will, of course, need to present personal identification and your insurance card when picking up your belongings.

If you are unavailable to immediately retrieve your belongings, you may view a digital photo of the contents on-line by providing us with the Insurance Company Incident Report (IR) number for your visit to GWGMC and we will send you the necessary information to access the photo.

Thank you,
Greatwater General Medical Center

 		MRDoug-

23658 is the policy number, and not necessarily the incident report number. It is unlikely that they are the same number.

Subject: Welcome

Date: 11 March 2003

Dear Mr. Dale Sprague:

As a recent addition to the Klepsydra.net client family, we would like to take this opportunity and welcome you to our network of Mental Health Facilities and Treatment Centers. While detailed information about your specific treatment plan is discussed in person with you while you are at a Klepsydra, we like to provide supportive information via e-mail for your record keeping and insurance claim purposes. We find that many clients value this additional service as it makes the sometimes difficult task of record-keeping much easier for them. So throughout your time of association with the Klepsydra network, you will receive periodic messages from us with important information to your treatment plan.
For purposes of your documentation, the doctor assigned to your case is Dr. Michelle Kendra.

We look forward to serving you and helping you find the life you deserve.

 		I assume we can take this to mean 1 of 2 things:

Sam has been sending mail from Dale's account (on our and/or Dale's behalf) and these are replies to those mesages (they're replies from SOMETHING from the correct name and address.

or

Dale is out (why else would Klepsydra write him, they;d know if he was still inside and/or unable to acceess a computer) and writing himself.

Thoughts?

I appears to me to be some sort of a form letter that is sent out to patients for "record keeping purposes" (and for the purpose of this game, to keep US informed on what is happening to Dale while he is at Klepsydra.

At least, that is my take on the situation. I don't think he is out of the mental hospital yet. But now we have another contact name that we may be able to use (and start a meaningful conversation if we can find the right angle that would be realistic contact). Emailing requests should keep in mind patient confidentiality issues. But, oh how lovely, if we could manage to have a way for Dale to contact us (i.e. someone started this last week, maybe they can follow up on it, about Dale having access to modify the hospital's website, as "art therapy", or maybe do a written piece that is posted on the web the same way that the art is posted, since Dale wanted to be a writer).

Have a fun day!

 		Dale at Klepsydra
At first I thought Dale was out of Klepsydra also. It seems to me that he must have email access. Why would they send this letter to him at this time if he did not. Why not send him just a discharge letter when his inpatient treatment is complete. The PM's could have just email him EOB's from Collective Protective which would tell us his Attending Physician and the treatment received. It seems to me this would have solved informing us as well as moving the plot along.

 		digitalis picture in dale's email 3/14
for the records, I've attached the image.

As for some of the findings from #ctw

Also, AbuAmaal found the original text (we were wondering if there was something up with the numbers as it seemed to be a whole heck of a lot of seeds). You can see it here, if you're so inclined: link to original text

And kona gave us the image: link to the original image

The pic doesn't appear to be stegged. If you take the original and the mailed pic and bring the original down to the mailed pic size - they are the same size.

(Just to save you the hassle of looking at it...)

I think it may just be a typo. Looking online, I've found pacakages available that say they contain about 2,500 seeds. I know 25,000 would be a lot but if you've ever grown them, you can't get rid of them.

 		ABout right
Actually 25,000 seeds would not be excessive. I looked on a website that sells foxglove seeds and it said there were about 4.5 million seeds in a pound. Dividing the exact number of seeds they gave by 16 to find out how many were in an ounce, and then by 8 gave me about 35,000 seeds.

Who knew?

 		SPEC: Purpurea
The picture on the Businesses page of the Aglaura site is from here and is of a pitcher plant not a cranberry plant...Sarracenia Purpurea.

(See wishchasers for original message...) - has konamouse or anyone else had a reply from Sam as to why it's there?

Seeing as there is a mention of Purpurea in the foxglove strain too, is this related - was it just a clue that we didn't get fast enough before the foxglove seed packet and e-mail was sent? And there is a mention here (same site as image came from) of how the cranberry farming in NJ is endangering the wetlands and polluting waterways. Tied in in any way or coincidence? Or am I off on one again? Feel free to trout me...

Hi Dale,

I hope you're doing okay. I want to assure you again that you can page me if you need to; the number is in the discharge info packet you got from the hospital.

I'm trying to follow up with Ashgrove Park like we talked about, but I can't find a listing for them. I tried Ashgrove Park, Ash Grove Park, Ash Grove Amusement Park, etc., but I can't find anything. Could you give me their phone number and/or address?

Thanks, Dale, and I'll see you at your appointment on Thursday.

The whois listing on the domain has the following:
Organization:
AGP, Inc.
Desire Hunter
Upper Mill Road
Burlington County, NJ 08088
US
Phone: 201-555-6754
Email: webmasterSPLATashgrovepark.com

I'm noticing that the phone number is a fake ("555") and that "Desire Hunter," while interesting, is probably not helpful. But we have an address. Could someone with a better relationship with Dr. Kendra give that to her? I'd do it, but I am currently pretending to be a scientist in another state collaborating with her, and it'll look weird if I just bust out with "By the way, here's the address I have for Ash Grove Park, ever heard of it?"
