Completely off-topic: I was in Aards pet store this week and asked about him and they said he's just fine. Maybe it's just me, but I haven't seen him around the form for a couple/few months. If so, guess he's just taking a breather, battling the no-CFL communal funk we're all in.
P.S. They have the best prices in town on reptile mercury vapor lights.
Glad to hear Aards is alright.
