I'll be away again for a week, able to use the site occasionally but on a computer, and using a browser, that really hate this site, and spending less time at the computer and more time, well- visiting family :)...
If you do want to get in touch with me, shoutbox will be off, comments will be off (not that I'm expecting so very many but they do fall off the page; expect best ;^) ), but send a message and I'll catch the notification, get back on and try to respond.
(This is public for a reason and does apply to anyone I haven't outright blocked, though flooding will get a fishie...er, poisson... erm, person blocked.) (Edit: I seem to have forgotten what the 'few' things were, but if you have my e-mail, of course, send to that...)
-E who thought the Ringling Brothers might have been a name made up by PT Barnum (what. Would you put it past the man? For a moment?) But - no, apparently, there were five of them, and one of their descendants has an homage site set up.
