Quick news

Atlantis frames should be here early November.
RR41 is 75 percent finished, will be mailed late Oct, maybe mid.  It'll be as a pdf on the site, that's the plan. For the past 18 months or so  and continuing into the forseeable future, "membership" meant a 5 percent credit rebate and free shipping on most orders over $150--no longer is it also a subscription. We've been out there with this for more than a year now, but it's a good time to remind.
If you want a paper copy, we'll offer them for sale for $3-4, not sure which, as online items, probably in the Books section. We'll make it known how to get a paper Reader.
It's not a move away from paper, a foreshadowing of bad things. The RR has been a huge money pit from the start, and this will fix that some. I'll do my best to make each issue worth whatever we end up charging, but keep in mind this thing that my dad used to tell me, about books: If you get just one useful or interesting thing from a book, it was worth whatever it cost. (I don't take kindly to people arguing with my dead dad, so....).

It was 105-degrees in the workspace today, and our expensive roof-mounted double-barrelled swamp coolers are worthless.
