The mystery of the missing post...

Hmm.

The other day, I posted a rather amusing entry about the fact that the tenants downstairs have a new roomie.

Yes, it's true. They came home to find a squirrel reclining in their living room. They've now purchased some kind of weird animal repellent sprinkle.

But the mystery is this: what happened to the original post? My first instinct, of course, is to blame someone else -- like the Blogger people. Obviously they didn't find the post amusing. Or was it the post's absurd pointlessness that led to its demise? (Obviously someone has too much time and editorial control.)

Perhaps it was my computer, which has finally learned to self-edit -- only to eliminate something I actually wanted.

Or a hacker! Ahh, yes. A hacker. Some bored kid saw my blog, and decided to hack into it as a preliminary go before hitting up CIBC, Royal Bank and the OSAP files. (If this is the case, Anonymous Naughty Hacker, please contact me -- I'm up to my rather excessive ass in student loans. Er, I would also accept financial contributions by unknown philanthropists.)

The last thing I would ever consider is the possibility that, when I logged in earlier today to edit a rather irksome typo (and change some settings), that I inadvertently hit the "delete post" button, ceased to notice, and continued on with my day. My goodness... that... that would mean I'm... (gasp) a-a-absentminded.

Horrifying thought. I'll stick with the hacker theory.
