Notes from here and there

So I just now mailed Christmas cards from the Ester Post Office, where our friendly neighborhood postal clerks helped me sort through my thirty some odd cards to three different countries, and four different types of stamps in various obsolete amounts of postage. Christmas cards are on time if they are postmarked before Christmas, right? Merry Christmas, all!

And, a bit of good news for Bay Area bibliophiles... Black Oak books has reopened!
