Thanks for the link, David. Smith seems like a fascinating person.

US Games released a 100 year anniversary commemorative deck with a photo and a self-portrait of Colman Smith, six color postcards of her artwork, and the recolored deck with a softer look and feel more in keeping with the early 1900s. Somehow I've ended up with three different Rider Waite decks--plus the Giant, the miniature, the Radiant, the Universal, and the New Visions, which is the scene on each of the cards depicted from the back. The original is definitely a classic.

The Arts & Crafts version would be beautiful.

That's cool! Especially since she's paid the bills for their entire operation.

There are so many new versions put out every year!

When they tell you to be an active citizen and write to your Parliament, they never warn you that some Parliament members are very, very silly and make no sense, do they?

*Some* parliament members, Shir? I think a more accurate warning would be that some are logical and sense-making, and actually have the best interests of their constituents at heart.

You have not known stupid till you get a letter from Jeff Flake on any topic. Next to him, I AM Elizabeth Warren, although I counted myself really lucky to get a B+ in economics in real life.(too many charts that I totally suck at) I can see why his whole campaign was his white teeth and many blonde children,although even they are not the selling points they used to be.

Hi, there are still people I vote for.

I messed up a spreadsheet, which means I have to re-do 105 scantrons. (We need to submit scantrons with our students' in-class averages, meaning the average of quizzes and homework but not exams. The online gradebook that I use, where students can see their grades from their accounts, has the overall average, including the exams. So I downloaded the gradebook data in a spreadsheet and used that to average the homework and quiz scores, but the downloading and re-opening shifted the column labels over by one, and I didn't notice it, so I averaged the wrong things. So I need to re-do all of the scantrons, so that the university computer can take those scores and add them to the exam scores, which is, by the way, the exact same thing that my online gradebook already does, and I can easily submit the total scores after adding them, but the university for some reasons needs me to submit the in-class scores separately, so that their computers can add them to the exam scores themselves.)

I am having mac and un-cheese for dinner, and I bought a box of candy, because the thought of filling in ID numbers and grades in 105 scantrons, in order to add together some numbers that my computer can already add together, requires comfort food and sugar.
