I just wanted to take this opportunity to say that an impressive number of you posted comments last week, and that I really appreciate it. As regular readers can probably tell by now, I generally don't get out all that much, either by way of sightseeing or by socializing. So your comments are sometimes like little tiny care packages for me, and they cheer me up. So, thanks.

Yes, I'll try to keep finding interesting things to take pictures of.

Speaking of comments, some of you have no doubt noticed the new "Recent comments" feature amongst the navigation links. (Strictly speaking, it's not quite a list of the three most recent comments—it's a list of the last comments of the three most recent threads, but close enough.) Anyway, this'll make it easier to see if anyone's made any witty remarks since the last time you visited.

Last but not least, at the bottom of the nav area you'll find a little box where you can "subscribe" to the Account, meaning that you can receive a little auto-generated e-mail letting you know whenever this blog gets updated. It's useful for people who've become weary of my random posting schedule.
