Howdy Higher-Fire:

Two unrelated but back-to-back problems brought down the Higher-Fire
list on Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the list software accidentally got shut-down and didn't
automatically restart like it should have, and nobody noticed until
several hours later.

On Wednesday, Prairienet had a disk drive crash on them.  Notice from
Prairienet:

 ****************************************************************************
 **  SYSTEM STATUS                **                  Wednesday, Oct. 1st  **
 ****************************************************************************
 **  We apologize for the sudden downtime this afternoon and evening.      **
 **  We experienced a system failure and it took us a bit to reconfigure   **
 **  the backup system.  That being done, everything should be back to     **
 **  normal.  Hopefully we've seen the last of the gremlins for a while.   **
 **  Again, we are sorry for the inconveniences caused by these            **
 **  unexpected disruptions in services over the last few weeks.           **
