For those of you wondering what the heck the deal is with the Â’s littering all of my posts since last June, I’ll tell you that I have no idea what has happened. Certainly they weren’t there as of the end of 2006, and have suddenly appeared. I’m going to go through and try to eliminate all of them, but this is going to take some time.

This bothers me somewhat, as it suggests some instability or corruption of the data on this blog. I’ll be in contact with the host, and see if he’s aware of any cause for this problem.
