A little counter that you can't see but I can informs me that this is my 3000th post on this weblog since I switched to Movable Type software on 4/23/03. This is a frightening statistic, especially when you consider all the constructive things I could have been doing with that time.
So I will seize on this opportunity to remind you all that I have raccoons to feed at my back door, and really odd stuff to buy off eBay…which is why I'm putting up another one of these mercenary boxes. Use it wisely and extravagantly.
