Surprise package

[hrj]

So the package at the post office turns out to have been the whipping tops after all. I tried one out on the kitchen floor and found it a lot easier to work than I thought it would be. Cool. On the down side, I've tried several of the best butchers I know and haven't found a source of knucklebones yet. (They all say, "maybe in Chinatown", but we're upping the cost-benefit ratio at that point.) Between the one I picked up at the Beltane site and the two from The Sheep in the Attic, I could make do. But I'm not sure I want to risk something happening to bits and pieces of The Sheep in the Attic. (Hmm. It suddenly occurs to me that The Sheep in the Attic properly falls under the life-cleaning process. I really should find a good home for it.)
