Puzzle-games










Just back from a week in San Francisco and Yosemite Park, where my sister-in-law got married. I found these old London postcards at The General Store in the outer sunset. They're puzzle-games where you're supposed to cut out the colored pictures and arrange them in various geometric configurations, some of 'cabalistic significance.' The horsey headgear worn by the Buckingham Palace guards is pretty amazing.

  3. "Hey, what's your favorite record by The Chessboard Paradox?" "I think it's 'Puzzle-Game', but I'm also a big fan of 'A Miracle, Or Isn't It'."
