San Rainy Rafael

Back at the family estate . . . It’s raining non-stop and flood watches are in effect all over Northern California. So there you have it. I have some pictures to upload of the newly remodelled house but that will need to wait for me to figure out how to get more than one machine onto this network. Stupid Comcast modem thingy.

We did some Christmas shopping (well, post-Christmas) and got some things for Enchante and for our place. We also looked through some boxes of books from the Grandpa Swenson collection. Amazing things coming out of there . . . A whole bunch of issues from the first few years of Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine, including the very first isue, a first printing of an old Steinbeck book, and an 1832 book on the history of the Jewish people translated from the Hebrew. Very dusty and brittle. Probably worth tens of thousands of dollars, or perhaps 75 cents. Who can tell?
