Back, but battling the forces of nature...
I guess dust is a force of nature, but it is driving me crazy. If you collect books, then dust is a constant aspect of your life. The best way to dust books is to use a brush attachment to your vacuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner has some sort of leak, then you dust one shelf only to find the shelf you just dusted full of, well, dust. You ponder tearing your hair out.
We got a beautiful and very fancy turntable as an early Christmas present from Melanie's folks. Dust is the enemy of vinyl records, so when I hooked it up, I figured, shucks, since we'll be playing our vinyl again, I should reduce the dust. And the battle begins.
For non-book surfaces, I highly recommend the Pledge Grab-it cloths.
Anyway, back to dusting. Two steps forward. Three back. Then, if I am still in the mood to clean, the Trackback Pings on this site have gotten out of hand. I think I will disable that feature. I am shooting for Thursday night for more posts. Meanwhile, go learn how to yodel.
