I regret that I have been laid low these past few weeks with what I jokingly referred to as 'plague' between fits of coughing. That was funny up until I read some poor soul out in Utah had actually died of the real plague, fourth death from it this year, of 12 cases.
However, I am back and now content will resume. Fortunately there is no chance of any residual contagion across the connections of cyberspace.
