Then, there are lots of things consumers would love to get their hands on, but not all are for sale. When I encountered both situations, I contacted the Smithsonian Institution… Dear Smithsonian Office of Public Affairs: I wrote the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is the Chain of Custody? That&#8217;s what I wanted to know when I read about it with relation to Post-it Notes. Rather than call a divorce attorney, I asked 3M&#8230; Dear Post-it Notaries: I use Post-it Notes when I’m asleep. There are all sorts of reminders waiting for me in the morning.
