Are we related? I do the same things you do, may be why Amazon sends me
an email about something I want every day or two. You reckon they're
tracking me? Yeah, I'm easy that way, that's why Kroger sends me coupons
every couple of weeks that match what's on my grocery list. Got me
trapped in the computer, just like Amazon.

I was at the library this afternoon, they had a book sale going,
something they do two or three times a year. If a book hasn't been
checked out in a year or some reference book has been updated and they
still have the old one, the old one and the unchecked out books go on
sale. Anywhere from twenty-five cents a book to a dollar a book, never
saw any go higher. I spent forty dollars with them today. Miz Anne is
gonna kill me when she gets home tomorrow. Or maybe not, I scored two
books on quilting and she is getting very interested in starting
quilting. I do love the Calcasieu Parish library system, it is very
professional and the people that work there are too.
