I've been rather busy of late, mostly with a whole lot of doing nothing.
"In Tom Clancy’s political thriller “Sum of All Fears,” the United States and Russia are being pushed to the brink of nuclear war by neo-Nazi terrorists who have detonated a nuclear explosion in Baltimore and want the Americans to blame the Russians.
Sorry if any of you had to see the reposting of something you've already seen, but in the course of trying to backdate some things the LJ did some odd stuff (like refusing to admit that 1: it had actually done so, and 2: then erasing the wrong post, when I tried to correct failing to backdate one of the entries) and so I had to accept losing the post, or reposting it.

Mount St. Helens let off a little steam today.
He conceded.
