Venting is, among others, what lists and boards do best.
Yeah, unfortunately, the days when "Fragile" marked on a pkg. or envelope
meant anything are long gone!

I seldom get in this position since I'm so AR about things like this. I rotate

and stored empty until their next turn. The rare time when a pen in rotation
has a starting problem, a damp lintless rag does the trick.
