Actual words

A strange day, with actual words toward a story, finally

Day started, after a breakfast of quiche and applesauce, with a run to the closest local convenience store (open 7 am to 10 PM every day) where the proprietor wears a gun on his hip, to pick up three copies of the local Sunday paper -- they covered our upcoming reading and signing by running my flier copy as a news story.  The guy at the store had a drive-off gas robbery last week when someone apparently filled the tank, drove away, and then got caught in Bangor after robbing two convenience stores ... guess the gun on the hip works.

Then I had to fight with a credit card company because I've started printing my own postage and they thought I needed protection (who could possibly need to buy $947 worth of postage in a week, anyway?) so they were shutting my card down ... sigh. 

Then the Ravens lost.  The I read about how unintended consequences yet again,  http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091001164102.htm , and the Orioles -- won in 11 ...

and my viewpoint character is still trying to decide what his name is.

Poor _ _. He has a stormy future ahead of him.

The Protagonist of my WIP knew her name alright - she just would not share it with me. Now that I've found out what she is called, I can kind of understand her.

Actually, most people don't buy $947 of postage in one month.

My CC company got excited about five charges from ABEBooks.com in one day totaling less than $200!! (A good place to get first editions, signed books, etc).

You live WHERE??

I thought that storekeepers only packed in the open in Arizona. Guess I was wrong!
