The luggage arrived late this afternoon. Other than one of the wheels having been totally busted off the larger of our two suitcases, all was intact.
For only having been gone two days (three, but no mail would have been delivered Sunday), my mailbox was alarmingly full. A good portion of that can be attributed to my latest burst of Amazon purchases. I’m sold on Amazon’s used book selections; even with shipping costs, I usually save close to 50%, more or less, on each title I find. There are exceptions, of course, depending on the book. The gap in price between new and used books is an interesting gage of the actually supply and demand for the book; some used books are pretty close in price to the retail value, probably an indication of a book that is well-regarded, and probably worth the money.
We have some reasonably interesting pictures from New York. Tomorrow, I will attempt to get a selection of those, and of my wife’s recent trip to Chile, online.
