Bookshelves
After the closet, John built a bookshelf. And it has adjustable shelves, too! How neat.
That reminds me that André and I don’t have much space left on our bookshelves…
Faster than the Speed of Light
The last day lasted less than five hours. That is, if you define a day as the time between two page flips. 
Inspired by arfco 3000 (one of the NetDyslectics) today’s subject is light that is faster than itself!
There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was far faster than light,
She set out one day,
In a relative way,
And returned home the previous night.
