Seventeen thousand

In keeping with tradition, I am happy to inform you that the counter at the bottom of the blog has rolled past 17,000. Not that I actually know what that really represents, but a while ago Adrian showed me that if I click on the counter, I get all sorts of not-very-interesting information about who is reading the blog.

I digress. Here is a requisite picture of, apparently, seventeen grand in a paper bag. Celebratory!
