So I'm back in Oakville after an absence of 5 months. Calls for a certain period of adjustment. From 150 sq. ft of living space to nearly 1500. Sorting through 5 month's worth of mail. Fighting dust and dirt. Turning things back on. Remembering where items are stored. Carting items up from my RV.
Vacuuming my apartment after 5 months is a remarkably unproductive process. So long as the apartment was cleaned reasonably close to my departure with the forced air heating turned off very little dust has settled. Our bodies are the source of the majority of household dust--dandruff, dead skin, finger nail clippings; the rest is contributed by worn fibres from clothing, bedding, carpets, and upholstery--think the lint you pull out of your clothes dryer; and environmental dust, minimal if the windows aren’t opened. Hopefully the dust mites all died over the winter due to starvation and cold.
If you haven’t seen my pictures from Marquette they’re viewable here:

Finally a few notes:
One advantage print books will always have over e-Books, they never need recharging.
Is it just me or does NPR On-Air Fund Raising follow other people as they travel?
What did the first vending machine dispense? The first vending machines in the US dispensed chewing gum and were installed in New York City train platforms in 1888.
And staff have been pulling it off seats ever since!
The following information paints a remarkable picture of alcohol sales in various parts of Canada. Most interesting are the provinces with a sophisticated taste for wine. Particularly disturbing when you consider that so much of Canada’s North is supposedly dry:
