Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 8/8 - Dreams

I had another vivid dream last night. I was walking across the pedestrian bridge that spans lower Sheepshead Bay when, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a huge wave coming from the lower end, which is absurd, as the ocean is the other way. Not having time to get across - it's about 200 yards long - I dove into the water and tried to make it to the bottom so the wave would pass over me. Later, I dreamed I grabbed a young Asian boy, who was fishing and had his back to the danger, by the collar of his shirt and hauled him to safety. Somehow I was in two places at once. I think I know the meaning. I hope to avoid the economic tsunami I believe is coming, which has been caused by policies geared toward the entitlement generation and which are especially daunting for future generations. I hope I'm wrong.
After consecutive successful days for the floating book shop, it looked like I wasn't going to have a single sale today. Fortunately, buyers showed up during the third hour. I sold a bag of seven Harlequin novels I've had for more than a year to a middle aged woman, and I let Mikhail/Mr. Almost have four Russian novels for a dollar. I had to get rid of inventory, as Simon bombarded me with another large donation, and who better to give a deal to than a loyal customer. The highlight of the day was the sale of my literary angel's romance, Love Dreams. Young women seem to be attracted to its cover, which is different from the original she'd chosen. Here it is:

I made the last of my airport runs this morning, at least for a while, taking my niece to LaGuardia. She's making a stop in her old stomping grounds in Grand Rapids, Michigan before heading home to Denver. For a change, it went like a dream. I arrived home early enough to snag a parking spot after the street cleaner had passed. I had the least possible distance to haul my overloaded crates. Yay for the home team.
My thanks to the buyers and donors.
