Pre veteran thread (2011)

[Seabrook]

Yep, quite a bit, and then I started reading.

I went to a thrift store a few blocks away to see if they had a cheapo table lamp until I find exactly what I want for my bedroom (mine broke). Anyway, I hit the jackpot big time. Stuffed back in a corner, I found boxes and boxes and boxes of books. Nobody wants to buy books, so they just store them away in boxes. Some of them don't even have the covers cracked on them - brand new. They sell the hardbacks for $1 and the pprbacks for .50. Lucky me!

Fantastic news about finding the books Sea!

I need to find/make a caddy avi- yours sounds like it'll be great Jerry.

 

[Seabrook]

Just be careful on them, Sea, I hear that there is a lot of traffic in your area.

Oh gads Jerry, Sea doesn't street blade, too dangerous. I drive down to the boardwalk - a paved fitness path miles long on the surf.

 

[Seabrook]

Me too, Chris. I don't have a thing for cars - they're just a way to get me from point A to point B, so I don't even know what a Cadillac looks like.

 

[JerryRM]

Wow, nice find, Sea !!! I used to read a lot, mostly history, as that is my passion. I need to get back to doing that, as I have some books here that I haven't read yet, but want to read.

 

[CES]

I think they're big and fancy Sea....But I'll know more after the 22nd . see how much we learn from hanging out here?

i read fiction, Jerry. Lots of it

That's good, it would be too dangerous on the roads.
The traffic is nuts around here, but I use my bike to get around in the nice weather, instead of the car. I don't like driving, but I love riding.

 

[JerryRM]

I think the last fiction that I read was Portnoy's Complaint. That was many, many, many years ago.

especially if you read it when it first came out

 

[JerryRM]

I confess, that's when I read it, Chris.

 

[Seabrook]

Me too Chris, I like fiction. Dragonlance, King Arthur, all of Mercedes Lackey's books, dragons. If I read non-fiction, it's usually quantaum physics - I like Greg Braden's QP books. His books always end up on the NY best sellers list.

 

[CES]

i thought that might be the case though i hear it was good (i don't think i've read it)

I read science fiction and mystery mostly. I read enough science papers at work (no physics though)

anyway- I'm heading out- see you tomorrow.

 

[JerryRM]

Take care, Chris, pleasant dreams.

 

[JerryRM]

Dragons, ladies in distress, knights in shining armor, now those are good, Sea. I rarely miss them as movies, but when it comes to reading, I guess I am just an old fuddydud, who likes his history.

 

[Seabrook]

Take care and sleep well, Chris. Tomorrow.
