i cannot read in the bath. i just want to steep in steaming water, until it cools then rinse.
 
The wind is back. I know this cause when I stepped out of the building my dress flew up and hit me in the face.
 
I am feeling better, every day I improve. The sadness is easing. I still have a long way to go but I can think of mom and it's not so painful.

Shooting at a Greyhound station in Richmond. Somewhere between three and six shot, reports vary depending where you read them.

Greyhound stations don't tend to be in the best locations.

It's the power of so many, many, many books in your handbag and potential for instant purchase, always something ready to read. It's not the same as real books, it's just not. There is not the smell, or the feel of paper, or the joy of delicious book shops, ( particularly independent ones, or second hand ones). But they have different joys. I still want all my favourites in hard copy, but having been very slow to be won over, this does work for me.

I only want one book in me bag. I have tons of unread on my shelves so I'm never without. If I'm that desperate I can get it the next day, no one will die. To me there's no joy with a bit of tech. Tech stuff leaves me cold anyway so there's that. I love my bookcases, a room full of books is a beautiful thing. As are signed copies, first editions, going to book signings. Hey can you touch my Kindle Mr King isn't the same as getting a copy signed infront of you. And as you said, touch, smell texture. I like leaving things in my books too. A postcard, a pressed flower. I suppose you could sellotape a rose to the back of your Kindle. Bookshops! Best shops ever.

Going to put the kettle on. I'm just getting warmed up on this. Where's AllyRose?:D
 
I don't take baths. I take a shower and get out as soon as most of the dirt is gone!

The thing about Greyhound stations and shootings. We parked often near the Daytona Greyhound station. That's the closet we could get to town with our van during bike events.
Some creepy crawly people around those bus stations.
About the same at any others we've been near. I'd rather hitch a ride with a mass murderer than ride a bus.

just a few years ago I sung this song entirely...:) and as you see, it's the practicality I have gone with, the love of books is with me still. :). But while I remain more or less contentedly a technophobe, I think there is joy in tech....it has allowed me to make friends like you Fata. Is this not joyful ;).

Thus I want both my books and the tech ( so long as someone else can sort out any techy issues, :D).

I am not interested n signed books personally, G is, nor first editions, we have some, but it's not any worth of the book, it's the affection I have for its body, I can feel as much love, or perhaps more, for a tatty, inexpensive, secondhand paperback, as I can something 'valuable'. I love other people's annotations, or even defacing:eek:, I dislike fly covers, intensly, so I prefer not to have hard backs.

I read quite quickly, and have too much time to, so for me easy portability of books is beneficial. Having lots in one little iPad is a boon. Having no books in the house would be .....mortifying.

You'll never budge me on this. I've yet to read one reason that was valid for me to ever switch. I can and do carry a book to work with me every day, that's no hardship. And when folks say they have 100 books on their Kindle it makes me snort. Not books...DATA.

If tech stuff was whipped away from me I'd probably miss it at first but I wouldn't kill myself. If books were I'd be reaching for the noose.

Tell you what when there's a zombie apocalypse they'll soon drop out of favour. :D

Gianbattista took the greyhound from NYC to Iowa and everyone kept asking why he had done this. He enjoyed it. He spent part of the time sitting next to a rather round man who G said was warm, and met people going to a Startrek convention. He thought it was a real experience. Whenever I ask about it ( like just now) he declares that he loved it.

I wonder if he is a creepy crawly person :D

I get terribly sick on buses. In 1990 I used to go to Glasgow on the National Express a lot and was sick as dog, especially coming back. Put me off Tunnocks Teacakes for life.

Yes, but then, because I still have books, I them to read and treasure, I would never make the complete swap. But by heavens, I will miss you and others when there is zombie apocalypse. :( and no lit.

We will survive it, kid. Of this I'm sure.
