Some days at the floating book shop everything seems to break right. I snared the second best parking spot available, received donations in bulk from three sources, and had a bunch of sales. My thanks to those kind folks, and to Dave, who insisting on paying for two large cook books even though I offered them to him for free to pay him back for the hardcover mysteries he donated several years ago, He voted for Trump. My thanks also to the local home attendant who bought a Harlequin romance and a book on smoothies, and to Ira, who also voted for Trump, and who bought a Barbra Streisand bio and Rube Goldberg vs. the Machine Age; and to Crazy Joe, the scourge of radio talk show hosts, who also voted for Trump and grossly overpaid for a book on prostate health and The Greatest Science Stories Never Told: 100 Tales of Invention and Discovery to Astonish, Bewilder, and Stupefy, by Rick Beyer. The people who man the phones at many of the stations Joe calls immediately hang up on him. He frequently gets through to Curtis and Kuby, and the latter, a disciple of the late radical lawyer William Kunstler, enjoys tearing into him. He is not afraid to air politically incorrect views and is frequently called racist. His passions are talk radio, obviously, and old music. My thanks also to Caroline, who donated a DVD and a 50 song CD on teenage idols; and to the Meals on Wheels lady, who gave me a fruit cup and apple juice. To show how ridiculously lucky the day was, I went to CVS for milk and saw that two of my favorites, Honey Nut Cheerios and Dr. Pepper, were on sale.
