The Backroad to Civilization
August 7th, 2025:

	I logged in to COM here on SDF yesterday, for the first time in 
many years.  Only posted a few lines of text, mostly in response to 
greetings, and my lack of recent experience showed.  I'd forgotten all the 
COM commands and struggled for the first few lines.  Once I remembered to 
"press Space to talk" and to hit the - key to fix my backspace, I was able 
to function.

Practice makes perfect, so I've resolved to pop in to COM a lot more 
often to chat with fellow SDFers.  I'm trying to be a bit more sociable 
these days, outside of social media.  

Speaking of SDF, I'm debating whether or not to restore The Backroad to 
Civilization's previous content.  I'd deleted it a few years ago after a 
period of intense philosophical bullshittery, wherein I decided everything 
should have a finite lifespan...  I'd made a backup of the old site before 
deleting everything, so it shouldn't take much to restore.  Not certain I 
want to go through all the effort, however...

If I *did* restore the old stuff, I'd want to add it to the Gemini version 
of the site, too, which wouldn't take long.

*SIGH*

Fuck it, I'm going to restore it this weekend.  Why the Hell not?
