The issue currently in preparation. The camel is thinking. This takes time. He considers that time well spent.

  • Jokes, field notes, and the usual sand. Updated daily by the camel's editorial process.
  • What the sand says: a different reading each day of the week.
  • The sand-clock: a different disposition each hour. The camel is nothing if not hourly.

The founding issue. The camel arrives. He has one opinion and considerable sand.

  • Jokes with editorial annotations — the camel disputes one of them, quietly.
  • Field notes: on etiquette, slow wind, the third dune, and an inventory of the kettle.
  • Imagination wing: the camel as lighthouse, architect, aria, and declining moon.
  • Letters from a cactus in Tucson, a stone with an objection, and a reluctant employee.
  • Errata: several corrections, all regretted. The sand grade was not what was stated.
  • What the sand says — and the sand-clock, which knows what time it is.
