Hi Tom,

What sad news. We have been to Archer City a couple of times, and Carranza2 has been a frequent visitor there. If he is reading DAR, no doubt he had the same sinking feeling you and I did reading that article.

I hate when things end-- especially good things. Barnes and Nobles are all well and good, but nothing compares to finding a dusty, whimsical collection of strange books in a hole-in-the-wall bookstore. We have an unspoken rule in our house that when we see a used books sign on our travels, we go in- no discussion about it. I equate the rush I get from buying books and adding them to the stack of unread books by my bed, to taking drugs. We admit it's our addiction and we make no apologies. There is no way we will get through all the books by the time we die, but we go on buying.

I have the book my mother was reading when she died. My Pamet-A Cape Cod Chronicle, though I've never read it because I am superstitious. You just never know when some weird twilight zoney thing might happen. That book might be cursed.
And there are still so many, many books on my stack to get through.
