So many rectangles I cleaned today; my house is full of them. Strange that I often dream about triangles.

I'm having brain farts all the time now. Is it something I read?

My cat stole a small picture in a plastic frame, got it through the cat door, and hauled it upstairs to my bedroom. Without saying a word. Really would like to leverage that energy into a fetch game.

It gets dark early in winter, so I fumbled putting the hose into the vacuum outlet by the back stairs. I was vacuuming snow off the sidewalks with only the streetlamps but since it was just a light fluffy snow, the chore went quickly, the vacuum quiet and efficient.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

In the 1910s, the population of Readlyn Iowa was around 200 to 400, and had it's own post office. There lived my great great uncle, sending Christmas wishes to his young nephew. My favorite postcard, with all the features of Christmas, in a fantastic design.

Christmas postcard from the early 1900s. A postman laden with gifts, vines of holly draping over him. This full color image is uniquely varnished, shiny with cracked shellac and traces of gold ink. "A merry Christmas" is cheerful, while the tone of the image is dark greys and blues.

An unmailed 1908-1920s Christmas postcard featuring Santa's portrait framed in a gold horseshoe and holly. "A Christmas wish from a loving heart, That good luck and you may never part." This card reminds me of The Shaggy Man from Oz and his Love Magnet, portrayed as a horseshoe.

A Christmas postcard dated 1914. A smiling young boy stands on a short stool in front of a table with a phone and bough of holly. A toy soldier lies on the floor, and "Christmas Greetings" is inked in gold on the bottom. This is a slightly embossed card, and has glossy black ink, the rest matte.

1921 Christmas postcard in full color. Another elegant framed image, surrounded by holly, this time of a stone bridge and farm buildings. This is undoubtedly from the same package of postcards as yesterday. This is the last of the yearly postmarked cards I have, the rest will be of interest to me.

1920 Christmas postcard in full color. An elegant framed image of a European robin sitting on a bough of holly. "With Christmas Greetings" on an embossed ribbon across the card. This is a tasteful card, sent to the now "Mr." grandpa, instead of the former "Master".

1919 Christmas postcard full color lightly embossed. Two reindeer pull a sleigh of toys, a fir tree, and an American flag. Santa, posed with one leg in chimney, has a pack basket with a doll and what looks like a wombat, but is most likely a toy bear.

5 am and my senior cat has the zoomies. My new kitten is looking at her with awe and alarm. Cats sound like miniature elephants when they race around the house. So much thudding.

1918 Christmas postcard, full color vertical format. A pleasant blurry creche scene with three people kneeling before Mary and Jesus. "Christmas Greetings" on a non-embossed card. This probably frustrated my grandfather back when he was collecting postcards to cut them up for a scrap book.

1917 Christmas postcard with a cute illustration of Santa, a bag of gifts, Christmas presents, and a fir tree in an old fashioned biplane with tricycle undercarriage. "Yuletide Greetings" it proclaims, "Santa left his reindeer home And in an airship now doth roam." Very cheerful and cute.

1916 full color Christmas postcard vertical format. The background is white tile with pale ivy growing on them; as if a floor. A red bow and a holly bough scattered on it. Not quite a smarmy as the postcards with children on them, not quite as elegant as pure inked illustration.

1915 Christmas postcard. An elegant brown and red inked card with an illustration of revelers hauling a yule log home for celebrating Christmas. Albertine Randall Wheelan is the illustrator. The off-center formatting and the two-color design make this a stand out postcard image to me.
