For the first time in many months, I invoke the long-standing Internet Tradition that I invented and which hardly anyone else follows. The way it works is that when the proprietor of a weblog is too busy to update said weblog, the proprietor posts a photo of a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup. I have deadlines and things that must be done, and I have to pay for the new roof on my garage. (They should finish tomorrow afternoon, about the time it's supposed to start raining.) I shall return to you when work is done and the roof is paid-for.
