Through a terrible series of failures, most of the posts from the last three years have been lost. And, as was the case last year with many of my photos, my backup failed. I think from now on, I'm going to print everything out after I post it. Hard copies don't get accidentally deleted during upgrades.......

Of course, even hard copies get destroyed. That's happened to me, too. On one of my moves across the country, some of my photo negatives got destroyed by water when it leaked into my things packed onto the back of the truck.

So many memories now remain only as memories in my mind, which shall also fail eventually. There will be no trace of them, then. No words, no photos, no mind left to dwell in the past. It will be as if things never happened.
