Hey, everyone, its come to my attention that I accidently gave out
the location to Surrender Dorothy with my Survivor message. That was
not my intention. With all those dropped letters and odd words, I
was really trying to send out the secret message to "Drink more
Olvatine." Somehow the encryption went horribly, horribly awry.

See you guys soon!

Oh no! I'll have to start all over again on those clues...
It must have something to do with the size of the baggies....
