Dear reader: our webserver Radioland application crashed a few days ago (always a good excuse to take the dogs out to play) and I had to restore Dog News from an earlier backup. Thanks to Lawrence Lee's help, we're back; he is a genius with a patient side.

Here's what I learned: Blame it on the dog(s) (humor helps) and be patient... back up, back up, back up (I had a good back up only 1 week old... ) If you are a radiolander, it pays to compact your data files, read the user discussion, and keep offsite backups... especially if you have a dog...

For dog owners: don't permit your dog to curl up under your desk and drool all over the surge protectors (I'm vigilant, but my dog is more vigilant about getting under the desk). Our dogs want to wrap themselves around my chair, or get under my desk and snooze on top of cables and switches.
