The Typewiter Revolution

Do you ever send fan mail? I have sent two letters this year to authors whose work I admire.

This one was sent to Richard Polt (the USA), the author of The Typewriter Revolution book and blog. I translated The Typewriter Manifesto into Catalan, and it appeared in the blog (You can read here the original manifesto and its translations).

PS I did not blur the address on the envelope because he made it public on his blog. 

Signs of Spring

A mother black bear gives birth to one to four cubs in the winter, and they will emerge together from den in April or May. Curbs start practicing climbing trees as soon as they are strong enough, which is important because they are not fast enough to outrun predators. Black bears are most active at dawn and dusk, but can sometimes be seen mid-day. Look for them in open spaces within or near forested areas.
