JL;DR SUMMARY This year's Hanukkah stamp from the United States Postal Service features a unique menorah design without visible candles, celebrating Hanukkah and reflecting a deep personal story for its designer, Antonio Alcal.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
