Minor point about *glue sticks* - [image: Inline image 1]
There a*re/were/should be/might be/who knows* at least three or four short (5in) glue sticks in a plain brown box of misc good stuff that I delivered to SH last week. They are all the large size, about 3/8in in diameter. If anybody in the herd at SH can use that size, I will be happy to raid my secret supply cave and grab a handful of the full length (12in) sticks. Reply by 5pm and they will appear at SH before 7pm today.
