Re: “Other than that, How's your day going?”
I'm continuing to do data entry. Currently 2,381 items by 1,160 Authors in 69 Locations (most of which are boxes.)

Today, for the first time, one of the boxes held some DVDs, so the database content now includes a few movies as well as a large number of magazines and books. DVDs are a pain. I don't know if you've ever noticed, but the fine print on DVDs and on the package can be pretty bloody difficult to read. For that reason, I today junked my 2.0 reading glasses in favor of some 2.5 reading glasses. They're store bought, around $5, so it's no big deal. Reading is now much easier.

I'm finding some interesting things.

A box I entered this morning held a 1906 copy of The Spirit of the Border by Zane Grey, in pretty good condition, and I *think* it might be a 1st edition. I like books, but I'm no expert, especially when it comes to older titles. If it's a 1st edition, I imagine it's worth a bit.

I also found a fanzine dedicated to the seamier side of the book industry. It has page after page of vintage books for sale with names like "These Curious Pleasures" and "Women in Prison." If you folks are ever stumped on what to get Beldin for Christmas, I've got some suggestions...

It's A Monday morning and I was informed we is headed off to go purchase bags of Topsoil to fill all the holes the dog dug in the back yard over the winter..

He always digs after moles and never catches any but leaves nice large holes...

So my back yard has somewhere around a dozen or so holes in it that ya could break an ankle treading inside of one.


Of course all you married fellas know that
WE does not mean "WE", it means YOU or I...

And then, da BOSS wants to tell ya HOW to go about filling in the holes after ya has gotten the needed topsoil to do that with... Ya can;t just pick up a BAG, slit the top and pour. Oh no. Ya has to go retrieve the wheel barrow the son in law borrowed and never returned last fall and then pick up the same number of bags of dirt and pour them into the wheel barrow and pick up the handles of it and wheel it all over the yard using a shovel to now get the dirt out of it versus just slit the corner of bag and pour and be done with it..

The FINAL part of this scenario is that IF SHE ISN'T happy because you point out how ludicrous this whole thing is, well, WE ain't gonna be very happy for quite a while longer...

Other than that, How's your day going? Laughing
