More on what I posted earlier from MSNBC.com: ".....The FBI said the business-type letter bore no return address and was sent anonymously, with a Sept. 20 postmark from St. Petersburg, Fla.; it arrived in New York on Sept. 25. The woman, a longtime assistant to Brokaw, was being treated with antibiotics and was expected to make a full recovery, said Andrew Lack, NBC’s president and chief operating officer.....There was also a scare at the New York Times, where reporter Judith Miller, who has written books about germ warfare and Islamic militant movements, received a letter with a powdery substance. Miller turned the letter over to police before opening it. That powder tested negative for anthrax. The FBI said there were similarities between Miller’s letter and the NBC letter. Along with containing powdery material, both letters were postmarked from St. Petersburg, and the handwriting was similar, said Barry Mawn, head of the bureau’s New York office. The letter to the Times was postmarked Oct. 5, he said.....An FBI spokeswoman in Tampa, Fla., told NBC News that the St. Petersburg Times received a letter 'similar' to the ones mailed to NBC and The New York Times. The spokeswoman said the envelope mailed to the Florida newspaper also contained some kind of powder, but tests turned up no traces of anthrax. The St. Petersburg Times reported that columnist Howard Troxler received the letter Tuesday."
Oh yeah -- I'm so glad that when we basically threw a dart at a map of the U.S. four and a half years ago, that it managed to land on the Tampa Bay area -- and also that we just decided this spring that we loved it enough here to settle down and buy a house. Greeeaaaaat! Read here and also here if you want the local news' perspective.
My printer came on automatically and started printing your blog. Why? I don't know. Maybe I clicked something wrong? So thats the news. Have a nice weekend.

Sounds like Gremlins to me -- I get quite a bit of traffic each day and have never had/heard that complaint before. Sorry for the trouble though! :-)
