So yesterday was a pretty bad day, today's been even worse.

And then a little bit ago I had a package delivered. An unexpected package from amazon.com.

The package contained The Stone Canal by Ken MacLeod. Nifty! Cool!

Nope, I didn't order it, but it's on my wishlist. There was no indication in the package that it was a gift or who it was from. This could've been an oversight or whoever bought it for me wanted to remain safely anonymous.

So to whoever did that: You rock. You are too kind. And it brought a smile to my face on a particularly gloomy day. Which means a lot. Thanks!
