Due to a failure of the Typepad system this blog is running on, some of yesterdays posts and comments were lost. All of the thousands of blogs running on TypePad were effected. I will try to restore the posts, but I can not restore lost comments.

The TypePad company says:

TypePad downtime information. Due to the recent problems on TypePad you may have lost some data if you posted an entry between 12:30am and 10:30am PST on Wednesday. July 12th.

Sorry.
