My kingdom for anyone who can diagnose what’s wrong with my boiler. It only does this very intermittently and smells acrid, like something bad smoldering, when it does so. Thoughts?

Justin, my UPS guy, just came knocking, not because he had a package, but because he’s partway through my first trilogy and the library DOESN’T HAVE THE NEXT BOOK. I was able to hook him up. Made my morning.

Just finished George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo. I generally like his stuff and this was no exception. Found it quite moving, but couldn’t decide by the end whether he hit the hard questions straight on or managed to slide past them. Would definitely recommend!
