That's not good. I got the others, but not the fall issue

Prof Biglow @docwatson58.bsky.social · 3d

Any of my stateside Sherlockians receive their Fall BSI issue yet? Just checking on unreliable mail delivery in Fla. This issue was supposedly mailed out a few weeks ago and I'm suffering from radio silence. 😢. Supposedly not supposed to panic unless it's not here by Oct 31, but US Mail/tarrifs...

Haven't been on the socials much lately. Too much depressing news, so here's a press photo from "The House of Fear" I acquired a week or two ago. This angle does not appear in the American release, but a closeup does around mins 35-38. #SherlockHolmes #BasilRathbone #NigelBruce #HouseofFear

1942 "Journey for Margaret" lobby card w/Nigel Bruce. Not really Holmes-related, other than Bruce is in it. #NigelBruce

Ok. Here's Hercule Poirot. I think some facial hair coloring is necessary though!

ChatGPT break. I had it turn me into both Holmes and Watson from a semi-recent photo. I actually like the Holmes one...

His probably "never worn" Stetson ran hundreds. And it sits in its box at home except for the (rare) removal for a pic

Hearing a lot of complaints about Brett pipes at auction on FB. A collection of 3 church wardens that went for $4000, so a little over $1000 each from his private collection. Considering Bruce's ran me in the same range for a single several years ago, this seems fair. And Bruce had hundreds.

Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change?

The environmental liberal arts college of my youth may have closed, but Dexter library will live on in these gifts as the library collections were sold off. 8 of 9 volumes (less the Casebook of Sherlock Holmes). #SherlockHolmes

As I long to be "across the pond" and am recovering from surgery, I took the time to complete a couple legos that aren't SH themed. But do you sense some kind of theme here?
