From Dad, a foot-spa to soothe my aching feet.
Also from Dad, a new bag to soothe my soul!

Techies Tell Me Why....
Why does my laptop screen periodically have curtain shadows at the bottom?
It doesn't have to do with a low battery; it happens sometimes after the battery is totally charged.
UPDATE: Here's a screen capture of when shadows manifest.

A Nice Old Post Card
This nice old post card is from a Map Collection collection not-yet-processed, so I cannot provide a call number. They are using the image to advertise an exibition of the Panama Canal in maps. It is a rare illustration of Aqua-eroticism.

Retro Office Supplies
While rummaging around in Ranald's cubicle, I found a handsome metal document box.
He told me he had rescued it from the trash. Why are they always throwing out good stuff and replacing it with crappy new stuff?

Weekend Gifts
Dave gave me a bottle of his home-brewed beer, which I must store in a dark place at 66-72 degrees for a least 10 days. Sue gave me a candle that looks like a piece of cheese.
Romeo was fascinated by the flame.

Foreign Food
Some Japanese librarians were visiting our library. To thank us for our hospitality, they left us a box of Japanese cookies. I couldn't figure out what they were made of, because I can't read Japanese. But they were pretty enough to photograph.
