        Speaking of interesting relics, I pulled out my grade 13 calculus
text to take a break from reading work-stuff, and to see if there was any
hope of me recovering my knowledge of calculus, and a flyer from the 1980
Canadian election for the Libertarian Party fell out. Aside from the fact
that some miscreant has drawn muttonchops on the candidate, the flyer is
aging (as a physical object -- the Libertarians have slightly less presence
in Federal Politics than the SoCreds) rather well.
