TimelineTuesday: 9/1/1914: Martha, the very last passenger pigeon, dies. In the 1700s there had been billions of these birds in North America, in flocks so large that they darkened the skies, but they were rapidly wiped out by massive hunting and by deforestation of their main habitats.

BOMBARDING YOU WITH POSTS ABOUT A WAREHOUSE: our warehouse has electricity again! The staff is back at work, and they're shipping orders that came in over the past couple of days. They should be caught up very soon.
Here's an actual photo of the scene in our office when we got the news:

NEW UPDATE ON OUR WAREHOUSE SITUATION:
Our warehouse is still without power after the tornadoes and storms in Illinois. Many of the staff at the warehouse company that we use are still without power at their houses. :(
We expect restoration of electricity on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, our sale is continuing. PDFs and MP3s will be digitally delivered immediately as always. The shipping of physical items will be delayed by a couple of days at least. We'll extend the sale if needed.

UPDATE: our warehouse in Illinois had its power knocked out by the recent storms & tornadoes. Fortunately the staff is safe. No records of your orders were lost; however, there may be a small delay in shipping any orders that were placed yesterday (Tuesday the 11th) and any that are placed today.
Obviously digital orders (PDFs and MP3s) are not affected by this.
