An Enigma Wrapped in a Mystery ~ Monday, August 24, 2020
If you bike around town and stop every time you see a box of free stuff, every once in awhile you find something really cool. Okay that happens about once every 5 years, but every couple months you at least find something *interesting*, like this box of old Ellery Queen mystery magazines.

I took one that had a story by Isaac Asimov (he was prolific enough, he was bound to write a mystery now and then I guess), and one because it had a letter inside. The letter is in Dutch, and since I know German, I could kind of figure it out. Unfortunately the contents are pretty dull. The writer (apparently the recipient's mom) visited Ojai (CA), where it was hot, and there is something about cooking some tomato soup.
If you like mysteries, the rest of them are on Whipple by Lowell St in Redwood City.
