At 10: 30 a.m. on Tuesday, September 2, 2009, Rose Batson stepped out of the Texaco gas station that she managed to grab a smoke. None of the four self-serve pumps were in use, and Rose spat on the ground after blowing out her first puff. “Ain’t makin’ no money today,” she said to herself, taking a long drag on her Camel unfiltered cigarette. Of course, it made no difference to Rose. She was on salary.

This book comes with 100s of 5 star reviews, and it bothers me. I cant put my finger on the problem. I made a few corrections.

Below is Handel's original and Guilmant's improvement of a famous hymn made from a Handel choral work.

If I find myself 'tidying up' after the author, I usually abandon the story. I'm there to read it; not to rewrite it.

"That" or "which" belong before "she managed." "

Out of" rather than "Outside."
