But here nonetheless. Guess what? It's past time for the latest installment of the monthly exercise.

Given that this is the second consecutive episode written during a downed line, well.... I'm hoping it will be up tomorrow, but past experience with this, and I find my confidence less than high. Shall we again take bets on which company was truly at fault, and which company will probably hold things up the longest?

Oh grrrr... Well, I was going to get on with the proceedings, but I'm finding myself extremely sleepy. I could force myself to go on with it now, and produce with some sort of moronic commentary about each item. But I think I'll save it for tomorrow, at which time I can at least hope to be somewhat awake and thinking during the proceedings.

So, truncating short. Until then.
