Obituary of R.W. Burchfield, former editor of the Oxford English Dictionary.

I got an unexpected package in the mail yesterday. It was a big box, addressed to me, with no return address. After I decided it wasn’t anthrax, I opened it.

One of my readers, Chris, sent me a real Tin Man!

It’s made out of tin cans, screws, washers, and wire, with a red wooden heart on the front. I think the feet are sardine cans.

Isn’t that the coolest?

Thanks, Chris!

Gnod — type in an author, movie, band or artist, and get a graphical representation of similar ones. Kinda cool.
