Not the post I thought I'd be making

The Other Change of Hobbit is in a peculiar predicament: since the store is behind on its state sales tax payment due to cash flow issues, the state of California in its infinite wisdom and logic has…revoked the store's permit to sell things. I learned all this today when I tried to go buy Skirmish. The book was there on the shelf, but I could not buy it! I made a donation to the cause of helping them be able to sell things again, and of the bookstore cats no longer being so starved for human customer contact that they both converged on me demanding petting.

So, if you're a Hobbit customer and you'd like to see them weather this rough patch, I urge you to stop by the store or give them a call and do the same if you can (they'll take donations by credit card). Here's hoping.
