Windows SNAFU

After rising early this morning, I reurned to my machine, only to have Windows tell me a sart up file was corrupt. Alas, it was so corrupt, I couldn't even get into safe mode to trouble shoot or save files on the machine. Needles, to say stuff was wiped out of existence . My consolation prize is I do most of my work by hand first and then type it up, so a least a majority of the rough drafts of my articles have survived. I can't say the same for the photographs that had been imported to the machine from my camera, but what's done is done. New Creekbend will be coming sooner rather than later.
