Mail Call: Two Letters and The Typewriter Revolution, Thrifty Edition
So yeah – I hit a couple thrifts this afternoon and saw a familiar title on the books aisle shelf. First time I’ve seen a typewriter book at a thrift store! Also scored a couple nice DVDs – the Criterion Collection release of the Royal Tenenbaums and the first series of Endeavour, a Brit-Mystery series.

Mail Call: Trichrome Photography and the Curiosity of Youth
Ok, I’m super-curious about that “Damnation Alley“-style RV in Gunier’s backyard. Maybe I have some curiosity juice left in me still? Modern Mini-gaming device. An excellent example of market dictating form and function. Currently in the earholes:

Also enclosed was an article written by Mark Schrad on the whole “SS […]
Mail Call: Rich & Mitch in the Mail!
Two letters in the mail tonight, both from the Great State of Ohio.
