1) Just a reminder that, due to travel, I will not be shipping anything from Thursday Oct 14th until the following week.  I will start shipping again on Monday the 25th.  2) Have you seen the news stories about USPS increasing rates (And transit times)?  Well, my, my, my, they have REALLY raised rates.  Not only that, but the other carriers are following suit.  I am getting some real sticker shock in shipping orders. at the moment.  My shipping costs have literally double this week.  I may need to start charging for shipping again.  Let me see what I can...
