I know that readers' eyes glaze over when I talk tech. So, I apologize for the past few days' immersion in the subject. I did lose comments for awhile because Blogger is, unfortunately, not the most reliable service in the world, though it is wonderful. I believe I have reached a solution: I no longer publish directly to my index page. This leaves my blog page unaffected should Blogger decide to screw something up. Then, I can copy and paste and edit entries to my heart's content, and republish via FTP. It adds a step, but it ensures that I can keep the page's quality up. Incidentally, I know I lost a post. I will see if I can retrieve it at home. Anyway, I might as well take a moment to note that as of today, the Whitewater issue is finally closed. And yep, that DNA stain is all that ever came of it. I swear, this city is such a shitpile. The homeless cats lady was back at Ballston yesterday. She sets up a table there from time to time with a big sign that says "HOMELESS CATS." I still want to ask her how much she wants for them.
