Fortunately I live Downtown...

...or I mightn't be alive to write this.

Whilst helping carry a very large easy chair down to my niece's car I sliced a chunk of my hand off on the lock plate of the building's front door. Copious bleeding ensued, but as this is a proper urban area there were no flocks of Blood Sucking Carnivorous Vampire Porcupines to pounce from the rooftops onto yer humble correspondent and leave nothing but bare bones behind. Hence I am able to write this.

By such small things are empires lost and saved.
