In this afternoon's e-mail

Does anyone have a bacterial shaker that they are not using right now?

Hold on... let me check the shelf above the stove, next to the salt and pepper.

To whom it may concern.

By any chance do you have my copy of Emma Bull's Finder?

Not that you'd be able to get it to me before we leave for Minicon, so I could get it signed, but at least I would know to stop looking for it here.
