It's been a weird 24 hours here at the BofG.  Every time I've tried tried to post, something crashed--and the crashes occurred only when trying to post on this site.  Flickr posts--didn't work.  Wireless--cut out, prompting repeated router reboots.  Desktop blogging software implodes.  Screen freezes.  And so on.

And so it came to pass that this site had become the web equivalent of the Garden of Eden's tree of the knowledge of good and evil--the day wherein I tried to access it, my post would surely die.  To mark the occasion I tracked down this vintage Adam & Eve at the Tree of Life brooch, replete with the serpent and the apple and the unhappy couple poised to doom us all--and wouldn't you know it, the post looks like it's going to go through.

Just doing my part to extend original sin to the web, if it wasn't there already . . .
