Clearing the Debris
I finally received all of the textbooks that I've ordered and I got to tell you, when it comes down to ordering things online, I am not really seeing a big difference between Amazon.com's used book site and Half.com's site. There are some comparison differences between prices, Amazon.com seems to be a little less expensive when it comes to textbooks, but all in all, service, etc., seems to be about the same when it comes to getting merchandise.
Granted, I purchased Band of Brothers through Amazon.com after Half.com took almost four months to refund the purchase price when the seller didn't send me what I paid for. I'm still waiting to hear whether or not I received my copy of "Dancing in Red Shoes will Kill You," that is supposed to go to my parents house, but when I was down there last, it hadn't arrived yet. Not a serious priority, I read the book several months ago and ordered a copy for myself to have on my bookshelf (when I finally breakdown and purchase one).
I did go to Prince Perelson today and update them on my work history, which reminds me I need to go and update my resume, fix it, make it more inline with that my contact at that company wants.
Number two is still in the hospital. I went and saw her and her clones were running around. After living with that family none of the kids said anything to me. They all just looked at me as though I were some form of interlocutor. When they left I talked to number two but she kept growing distant and the drugs (and nurses) kept getting in the way.
What I did notice, today, was an accident on Parleys that blocked all of the lanes of traffic except one. It took me a very long time to go about a ¼ mile. In other places in the country, this is a hint to the men and women on the Salt Lake Police force; they move the damaged vehicles off the road. Here, as I recall, they don't. That seems important to me (other than the really bad drivers about this place).
