B: I wish there was a way to tell which footnotes have informational content and which are just references on the kindle (or that authors or publishers used a separate system for each)
There’s still a leak… did it twice, added an extra rubber gasket…. gaaaahhh
Not 30 minutes after we got home with Mira, my neighbor (who didn’t know yet) brought by some of his father-in-law’s awesome homemade wine – so we celebrated with a little glass & toast.
