A Bug's Life

I boxed up the comics I don't want any more, and the stack was about 5' long. "Ooh," I thought, "I can put them in one big pile and see if I'm taller than them or vice versa!" But when stacked in a pile it's not even barely 3' high.

Hmm, I wonder if this space-saving method works for storing other types of object? Hey, gerbils, your tank now has 1' square floor space, but it's 3' high! That's just as good, yes?

As for the unwanted comics, locals are welcome to come round and paw through them like demented gannets in search of gems if you do so before I work out how one gets rid of comics these days.

Goodbye, minutes of SF Foundation committee meetings of 2002, and notes on the web site.
Farewell, Seccon accounts - and ConteXXt accounts. We do not need you any more, bank statements, into (a pile waiting for) the shredder you go. Proof of event insurance - you will not come in handy some day.
Eleven reams of coloured paper - I suspect I would have used you in the last 3-4 years if I was going to, and I'm open to offers from people who print more things than I. (But for now you can stay in the cupboard.)

I think I'm going to need a smaller house.
