I read this in the man page, that's why I decided to go sufficiently
back in time that I wouldn't hit anything in the fossil snaps (which
go back 23 hours).

My understanding was that the 'vac' command on the fossil console would give
me a real, venti score...

Now that I understand where I may be wrong, the question is 'how to
initialize an empty fossil from a venti without knowing any scores?'.
My plans to have the nightly 'snap -a' score mailed offsite were supposed to
be implemented later. I just wasn't thinking I'd break things so early in the
game. Maybe that's the key -- I wasn't thinking :)
