No the subject isn’t asking where I have been – or where YOU have been specifically.
Well unless a specific plant is now sitting at my keyboard and reading my blog. That would be kind of creepy.
Anyway, back in August 2008, I had blogged about growing the potato plant – and that it time it got devoured by insects and such and died. Well I walked out today – and the same pot that the potato plant was in (never took it out) – guess what was there?
Did you guess a million dollars? If you did, you’re right.
No, unfortunately I am kidding about the million dollars. But what was there was a freshly sprung potato plant growing once again? What the heck? This was back in August when it had grown, and within weeks, died – and now it’s back again – six months later?
Very odd.
We shall see if it survives this time…

This actually happened last month (around Jan 19th or 20th?) – where I was notified that Youtube had closed and deleted my PetertheRanger account because of “repeated copyright infringement.” Naturally I wrote the folks at Youtube and asked what happened. And they sent back a canned response about “repeated copyright infringement.” So I hunted down another means of writing them – and discovered that they suddenly got notices for videos that had been up there for over 6 months (two of them were Criss Oliva Memorial videos using Savatage songs) and another one was a Brandon Lee Memorial Video. One of the Criss Oliva videos was over 2 years old on Youtube! And suddenly – these videos were tagged as “Copyright Infringement” – and so in the course of one day – I had three marks against me. So I tried to explain that – but ignorance is no excuse!
So my Youtube videos that were previously linked from my profile are no longer functioning.
I haven’t created a new Youtube profile yet. Email even said I am not supposed to. But I should just to spite them.
