What happened to all the posts and pictures?

UPDATE: 3 Sept 2007 I am restoring the blog archive.

You will have noticed that the previous posts have all disappeared. I've had a couple of major computer problems that resulted in most everything getting deleted from my hard drive and while I was trying to get that sorted, I fiddled with the wrong widget and deleted a couple of blogs. Well, really, why have one major catastrophe when you can have several? I've done a bit of digital detective work and recovered most of the photos that were used in the old "Lessons From Things" posts.

We looked for scapegoats

"Many people tried to blame it all on a vast Freemason conspiracy or Benjamin Franklin's experiments with electricity."
