The few Sacramento Twainiacs are in for a big deal when the US Postal  
Services unveils a new Mark Twain stamp with his likeness, a river  
(although probably not the Sacramento) and a paddle boat This Sunday,  
June 25 in Old Sacramento. There's not a lot of Twain-related  
activities or historical sites here even though he traveled through  
town a few times to catch the river boat to San Francisco, calling it  
variously, "The city of saloons" and "Land of eternal summer," (it  
was 102° yesterday). He also gave his Sandwich Islands talk at the  
Orleans Hotel which has recently been restored. So we'll have a drink  
in the heat in his honor. See the stamp and full story here:
