Is This Thing On?

OK, I guess Blogger managed to stumble through their planned and unplanned maintenence today. I was forced to do the same (maintenence, that is), rushing across town to pay a water bill--the second in a row that threatened imminent cut-off, thanks to the local water company adopting a loan shark style of fee collection...ok, maybe not a broken leg, but they tend to cut people off on Fridays...and, of course, being more "efficient" than the public sector, they're off on weekends.

I'll see if I feel like cranking anything else out before the weekend begins...after dealing with traffic here, which lends a whole new meaning to the term "requires remedial education," I'm just going to try to relax for a few minutes...
