Oh, and speaking of this address…
Please don’t send submissions anywhere else. I keep finding the occasional e-mail at various other addresses I’ve used over the years, but
has been the only valid address for several years.

Chanukah Cards!
This year again, if you want a Limited Edition Bickel Family Chanukah card, you only need to send your mailing address to
with the subject line “Chanukah Card.” You don’t have to be a regular contributor, and you certainly don’t have to be Jewish.
If you’d rather have a digital version, that’s also an option: but those are a lot less fun.
Statistics I Don’t Understand (w/ Update)
According to the statistics counter, traffic on the site is a bit more than 7x normal for a Monday morning. The last time something like this happened was when People magazine published a blurb about CIDU.
Or… the statistics counter might have lost its mind.
Off-Topic (and perhaps only relevant in New Jersey and Oregon)
Has anybody ever seen a female gas station attendant?

Thanksgiving

Thanks.
Proverb I Don’t Understand
[OT] Where have I been?
We’re going to California next month. The last time we were there, several years ago, we ate at a Chinese restaurant we really liked. We can’t remember the name of the place but no worries: my phone, by default, keeps track of everyplace I’ve been since May of 2013 (except for a few days when I lost the phone in a taxi in Montreal, so instead it holds a log of every stop the driver made).
Is this a good thing? A bad thing? Or just an it’s-the-21st-century-and-you-might-as-well-not-worry-about-it-because-it-can-be-useful-and-privacy-doesn’t-exist-anymore-anyway thing?
