Memnison Journal

Actually, it’s pretty bone dry in the basement, and just laying out the stuff so it can rapidly dry seems to be making a LOT of headway.  Yeah, it’s not going to be as neat to store, but the entire idea was to scan the suckers and pitch them afterwards, so that the only copy [...]

The carpet fan is whirring away in the background, and I think we dodged the bullet on this one, at least as far as  It Could Have Been Worse.  The major damage that isn’t replaceable is a small stack of papers I’d set aside for scanning, which were on the floor in my office.  I’m [...]
