Where Have I Been?

Those who may have missed my usual snarks, rants, or risible parodies, not to mention occasional pointers to discoveries elsewhere, can find me posting daily another of my Today's Birthdays or Today in History, over at the American Street. Longer items (like the crossposted one below) are more rare, due to lack of time. But I've not gone away, just busy, and there will be more to come as the inspiration strikes.
