It's been a while

I come to realize that it's been a while since I've been active on my blog; my previous post was in September of 2016.

So this evening, I took the trouble to backup and update my blog (an interesting process that requires logging onto MyPhPAdmin and working with the database underlying my blog).

So now I'll be good to go. I'll be able to speak my mind on any interesting thing that comes over my transom. But I might not have much to say about politics, for the same reason that Tom Lehrer no longer writes the sort of satiric songs he is famous for--as he said (in 2002), “Things I once thought were funny are scary now. I often feel like a resident of Pompeii who has been asked for some humorous comments on lava.” (Tom Lehrer at 90: A Life of Scientific Satire, by Andrew Robinson.)
