Of Special Note

Over the past week I switched my home system for a new one;  unfortunately, I did not think that I needed to make a separate copy of my bookmarks to copy to my new system, believing that such a task would be taken care of by the automated process I used.  Silly me.  As a result, Amazing News is greatly truncated this week.
