... i found myself in this brand new used book store today and came out with my very own copy of the Heath Anthology of American Literature Vol I, 2nd Ed. ($10), along with a book by Walter Camp - "a collection of exciting, intensely personal accounts from survivors (on both sides) of Custer's Last Stand. also a 300 page hardback edition of Star Trek Memories ($6) written by William Shatner (with Chris Kreski) which appears very detailed and all insider and back-stagey. another book on the story of Floyd Collins (you'll have to look that one up yourselves - the back cover touts this event as "the third largest news story between World Wars I & II, topped only by Lindbergh's crossing of the Atlantic in 1927 and the kidnapping of his baby in 1932". also finally snagged a near-mint, half-price 1995 copy of Yasser Seirawan's Play Winning Chess, completing (i think) my entire run (this one being the first and most basic and introductory of the 4 volumes) of this most excellent and illuminating Microsoft(tm) series on playing the Sport of Kings ... also uncovered a hardbound copy of city cousin Rick's Full-Court Pressure with Dick Weiss for $6 (must not be in too high a demand around here now? lol).

and chambo. be careful when the creek is up and raging right after the rain - we had a UK professor who got hung upside down and drowned in a storm runoff trip he made with some others a couple of years ago - which apparently was a pretty trendy type pastime in academic circles (and probably still is) around here. we also used to do something akin to this with inner tubes back when we were li'l beelickers - it's cool!
