Let this be a lesson

As if I didn't already have enough trouble churning out posts in a timely manner, last night I had a major computer crisis that could spell doom for this wee blog--or, at the very least, set it even further behind schedule than it currently is.

The scoop: while reviewing some material for a sociobiology paper that I have in the works, my laptop displayed the bane of all electronics owners, that harbinger of doom...the dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.

As a result, I spent the latter half of last night hyperventilating at the thought that the 2,500+ photos I took in Scotland were stuck on my enfeebled hard drive, if not lost forever.

And before you ask, only ~40% of the files were backed up because I'm a dumbfu...er, dumb cluck. I am my own worst enemy. (Sob.)
