As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

If you opt for this deal, you're making the mistake of the day.

A search on the Wegmans Supermarket website for "Herring" turns up:

BERLIN—The Felicity Ace, a 60,000-ton merchant ship that caught fire on Feb. 17 carrying around 4,000 Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, Audi, and Volkswagen vehicles, sank on Tuesday morning in the Atlantic Ocean about 220 nautical miles (253 miles) off the Azores islands, the ship’s management company said.

The mind boggles at the thought of what would have shown up then.

Oops.

However, yellow over blue was the flag from 1917 to 1919 when it was abolished in favor of the Soviet influenced flags.
