I've done 2 things wrong lately. 1) Opened a can of soft drink
in the car; it overflowed and dripped onto the shifting
mechanism; the gear shift indicator sticks now. Warning:
don't do it. 2) While correcting manuscript errors, didn't
save corrections after each chapter. Lost 200 pages worth of
corrections and had to start over. Save your work in segments!

Just thought I'd share. Hate to see any of you goof up like
this!
