Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

“Mrs. Brevoort viewed the irruption of public affairs into her private life as a personal affront.”
The book TRUST by Hernan Diaz. The cover is mint green with a skyscraper under a glass dome.

Do you mean these? I mourn them regularly.
A bag of Ultimate French Cremes by Dare. There is a large image of two round cookies spotted with currants and topped with a white glaze, next to an image meant to evoke a Renoir painting of French domesticity.

A regal Black woman in a burgundy velvet gown seated on a bench covered in gold tulle. A dapper Black man stands behind her, a trumpet in his left hand and his right hand holds her left hand over her shoulder. They are perfect as is this album, Baroque Duets.

If anyone can translate UPS-speak, does any of this mean it has at least arrived in Newfoundland? Or is it still in the UPS version of the Black Hole of Dieppe?
Screenshot from a UPS tracking page - it says the package was shipped on December 15, arrived in New Brunswick on December 16, and since December 19 the notifications SAY Corner Brook, Newfoundland (the ultimate destination) but where it is...!?

An image of the Gary Larson comic "Cow poetry". A cow stands on its hind legs before a room of other cows, seated. A window shows green hills outside. The cow reads a poem: "Distant Hills -- The distant hills call to me. Their rolling waves seduce my heart. Oh, how I want to graze in their lush valleys. Oh, how I want to run down their green slopes. Alas, I cannot. Damn the electric fence! Damn the electric fence! Thank you."

I asked for only one thing this year: crumpets from scratch. My dear husband made them and my goodness are they delicious. A perfect treat on a frosty birthday morn!
A plate with a thistle design. On the plate are two round crumpets, with golden brown divots all over. Interior of a crumpet with apple jelly on top. The inside of the crumpet is dense but also filled with little air pockets for added chewiness and yumminess.

Queen’s Park Crescent looking north. A sidewalk with grass on both sides, a building covered in green gauze, and trees in the background. Lit by the rain.

I’m sure my fellow former breast cancer patients were screaming the answer along with me. (It is not elm or oak as the contestants guessed)

The sun rising above some woods and farm with a barn, silo, and farmhouse. A cornfield is in the foreground.
