Obviously, I'm working my way backwards through all the posts I haven't read.
I've got lots to do, and instead of waiting 20 minutes, I fetched out mine and
held it nose-down and shook it vigorously up and down for a full minute. It
didn't creep the least bit. Now it's sitting nose-down on the desk, and even
if I push down on it, really hard, it doesn't creep.
If, by the time I get through with the five-day backlog of list posts I haven't
read yet, it has crept any a'tall, I'll say so. If it hasn't, I probably won't
mention it.
