"We are experiencing operating difficulties. Please stand by..."

Dear Readers,

I am currently engaged in certain unpleasant but much needed housekeeping activities behind the scenes that will have an adverse effect for a little while on the appearance of images in this blog.

Your browser is not malfunctioning. The issues are on this end, but they should be only temporary. Please bear with me. I expect to have everything back up & running smoothly again in a day or so.

Thanks,

MRPP
