I live at almost the foot of a small mountain. My driveway curves down 600 feet to the street. We got through the ice storm OK, but with an ice covered asphalt sliding board. Was to have gotten the bandages off and a hot shower today but maybe in only a couple more days.

One of my early morning companions.

Two cats and a dog and I'm trying to get some work done - 0h well, there is always tomorrow.

My first major purchase as an old bookseller.

Helene brought the side of the mountain down, taking the highway with it. Now access is miles away on the other side of the mountain.

This is one of six aisles of books being packed (boxes stacked a little way down) for shipment to a Hong Kong university in December 1994. They had lost a large portion of their library in the Cultural Revolution. I was able to replace a great many.

At my desk not long before I closed my antiquarian bookshop.

Here's a close-up after restoration. The entire lower half had to be replaced & a lot of decay in the top.
