Over the past week or so my mailbox has been pouring forth some very cool items from near and distant locations.

From Amazon59, who lives nearby, I received this cool collaged postcard explaining to me the term "psychomachy." Now I understand why my head shakes like it does.

From Annabell, I received a collaged postcard with sage advice:…
