It's Greek to me

I've been meaning to draw your attention to one very, very odd occurrence. For some odd reason, on my office computer only, the tool bar across the top of the blog pages appears in Greek. To wit:

Happily, of course, I can read Greek, but classical Greek. The modern language is quite different, and of course, the ancients didn't have a way of saying "unflag blog." Trust me, after a while, you get used to your life being this weird...

  2. Ancient Greek is to modern Greek as Latin is to Italian. You should have seen WH and one of his professors trying to ask for directions to some lost temple in Greece. Is it any wonder that we ended up turning around in a vinyard. I was waiting for someone to respond, it has been a while since your visit here.

  6. I don't need to read or speak any of those....I'll just follow WH and get lost. I'm very good at finding dead ends, a 48 mile dead end is my record so far.
