Notice

Sorry about last weeks complete disappearance, but 10 minutes after posting last Mondays "desecration" post I had to deal with one of life's more unpleasant, yet totally inevitable situations and I've been deep in it ever since.

No, I wont blog about it. There are still some places that a blog should not go.

However, I will note that in my travels last week, at one point I was driving across the Great Basin of Nevada and in one particularly desolate and empty stretch of "gods catbox" I found that the only radio station on which I could get a lock was the BBC World News service.

Now for those of you who dont know, North Eastern Nevada is about as Un-British as anyplace I have ever been. Its not just un-british, its nearly devoid of human life of any kind. Why the atmospherics conspired on that particular day to give a signal bounce for of all things the BBC World News is beyond my capacity to understand.

There I was, speeding along in the bright high desert sunlight across a landscape of mountain peaks, lava beds and chapparral, populated by absolutely no human beings, but accented occasionally by a wild burro, listening to the BBC News go into great detail of the FA Cup match between Arsenal and Manchester United.

As Louis Armstrong would say: "What a wonderful world..."

I'll be back in fine form tommorrow. Let's hope this Monday goes better than last Monday.
