This has been one strange day. Earlier today, just after our staff conference call, US Bureau Chief Ben Johnson became violently ill with what is hopefully no more than a flu. This happened while Johnson was urgently needed because Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen suffered a several hours long power failure during the day, as did journalist Peter Baklinski and assistant editor John Jalsevac is off on paternity leave. His wife Cassidy gave birth last week to their third child, Therese.

Then this evening as I was preparing to to send out the news, my Internet went down (this is very rare for me) and I am using my cell phone Internet connection to complete the job. Add to that the strange crash on Friday of our very popular commenting that has still not been resolved by Disqus, and the registered members donation payments problem also still not resolved since last week by our donation processing company, and we have to wonder if we have been under some sort of other wordly attack.

Ah, never a dull moment doing this work. Seems to come with the territory.

So, the fare is a bit lighter than normal the evening, but we’ll attempt to catch up.

Thanks for the many donations that came in today. We are up to a much healthier $78,000 total and will report what comes in the mail over the next few days.
