In the olden days, it used to be “three things make a post,” but this is a busy week, so I’m going with two.

Doing the laundry today, I saw once again — and this time decided to comment upon — an oddity. Specifically, all my other clothing, whether it goes into the wash inside out or outside out, tends to come out the same way. But my swim trunks — and only that article of clothing — which goes in outside out, always comes out of the dryer inside out. Trying to figure out why.

Second thing: just got an email from Daniel P. Dern, pointing me at his latest deep DEEP dive, this time into improperly researched cover art (and if you’ve read Robert A. Heinlein’s “The Roads Must Roll,” you’ll know right off what set him off). In that article, he offers a nice mention of my Punctilious Punctuation, along with a suggested addition to take it even deeper in the discussion of ellipses…. It’s a fun, wide-ranging look at good art that utterly fails at being advertising for the story to which it’s attached.
