A few apologies are in order:
1) Broken counters: Yahoo! Geocities has changed the counter code. Rather than changing the code, I have decided to just remove the counter as I update each page.
2) The Ad Square (that pop-up box at the upper right): Yahoo! Geocities has removed the GeoGuide and replaced it with an Ad Square that appears on every page (whether you want it to or not).
3) Email: My email address has changed (see the Lair page). I have not yet removed the old address(es?) from every page.
