The snow is melting in my front yard and revealing things. So far the plastic top of a wine bottle and half of a plastic wine goblet. These must be from my neighbors, which leads me to believe they are many months old. I like the idea that the snow is hiding things until the season is over. That really reminds me of the Hayden song Skates.

I ordered a couple of books from Amazon this week. The last couple of times I’ve ordered I’ve gotten a gift certificate for $10 at drugstore.com, which makes sense, since they are partner companies. But this time they sent me a sheet of 10 one-cent stamps instead. This is great. It’s worth 100 times less then the other free gift but I love it. This saves me a trip to the post office now that all my old stamps fall short of the new rate. It’s so sneaky - I don’t want to be so enthusiastic about this marketing campaign designed to suck me in.
