September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide rates in Minnesota declined slightly in 2020, but it’s important to remember there were a record number of suicides in 2019, and this is the sixth year in a row where more than 700 Minnesotans have died by suicide. There are far too many deaths, and many families are devastated by these deaths.

I have a serious problem with controlling myself in regards to the purchasing of old books. It’s the one thing I can never walk past at an auction or estate sale without buying at least one. Additionally, on many of my travels, I have managed to find some dusty, old book store stacked floor to ceiling with piles of books, some dating back to the 1600s (but definitely out of my price range). When I travel by air, I also only ever bring a carry-on bag, no matter how long the trip, so I only can usually bring one of those books home. The book is usually the extent of my souvenir purchase - but I can tell you where every old book in my house came from.
