Thanks a lot to all of you.
I feel a lot better. I'll get more felt circles today, and move those
heavy brass things to on top of the blanket, and leave tomorrow.
I can probably arrange it so that both the liquor-carton sized box and
the brass things are on the same blanket.
I'll tell you more about this household after I drive back from Texas
to Baltimore.
