Very Lovecraftian, eh? Six of these items I’ve had before, usually repeatedly. But they disappear. Fortunately, “that is not dead which I can eternal buy.”
World's Only Rational Man 
Well timed burn out. I’m busy watching the Cardinals whoop up on all comers.

My Amazon list includes both Sisters of Battle novels, the latest Gaunt’s Ghosts, the latest Ciaphas Cain, the final part of the Salamander trilogy, the latest part of the Sano series by Laura Joh Rowland, Johnson’s “The Japanese Way of Justice: Prosecuting Crime in Japan (Studies on Law and Social Control)” and Oda’s “Japanese Law: Second Edition”.

Yes. There are probably hundreds or thousands of filters and trapping points that have very elevated readings these days. Fortunately none will be life-threatening, away from Fukushima proper.
