We're almost at the end of this Red Cross auction, thanks to everyone who passed the link around, and thanks of course the bidders. I'll probably do other auctions with sites better set up for bidding, and now we can get back to talking about unimportant things on this blog. To show my commitment to this being an inconsequential place, I will spend the rest of the week talking about beverages.

Thanks to Westfield's Roger Ash for the scan of a sketch I did him back in 2003.
