Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

I am absolutely stupefied. Almost (not quite) speechless.

A book I had ordered several weeks ago finally arrived. An Archive of a World in Progress, The Library of Lost Maps by James Cheshire. The hard bound book is a printed with a map design, front and back. At the center of the circle on the front is the title and author which in turn circles around what represents compass headings. The circles, including the author name and title, and the compass are embossed in gold leaf(?). The copyright page is at the back and indicates that this is a 1st Edition, 1st printing. The paper is fine quality, archival(?). And, be still my heart, it's binding is sewn, not glued. The book was printed and bound in the UAE. Here is a picture of it from the publisher's website.https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/search/?q=James%20Cheshire No way does the picture do it justice. The book isn't going to be shelved until I can get my hands on an appropriate protective cover or book box.

Oops! Don't know what happened there, but this is it Rick. Thanks. I hadn't done my usual double-check to see if it worked. Cheshire has co-authored several other books with Oliver Uberti in a similar vein. Barb, you might like The Atlas of Finance. Here is a bio of Cheshire and Uberti.  https://www.atlasoftheinvisible.com/authors

Wow - interesting MarsGal to say the least - put it in my list for this winter - Finally would you believe 3 years later I am finally opening the boxes with my CD collections - I really need to go through them and toss a bunch - so many of the selections I can get online and I do not even have the Prime music whatever...

Ah Rick so you too have passed the torch of jobs we just did because they needed doing but were not our favorite way to pass time... hmm I'm assuming that shoveling snow was not a favorite passtime.

I've had about 4 tasks going at once for two or more weeks now - hoping to clear them up before Katha comes tomorrow - one task is Laundry that is washed and piled on top of the dryer that are summer things or those infernal fitted sheets that end up in a tangled pile because they are a gritch to fold in any comprehensible way to store with my linens. Onward...
