Bookstore

In shock: Frank's counter-offer for the bookstore is pretty close to my offer. I'd lowballed him by more than 50% of his initial asking price. Damn. I may end up owning a bookstore.

Well, it happens I agree with you about the sacred trust aspects of bookstores. Still, ya gotta live so the revenue flow becomes important too.

Hey! I'm going up to Mendocino this weekend!

Maybe the Goddess of Languishing Bookstores will rain down her many blessing on your head if you become one of The Chosen. Or perhaps it will be the Patron Saint of Salsa Picante. Tell me how you find Mendocino when you get back. I lived there 35 years ago, and now I just see a parody of an artist's colony. kind of a theme park. Still, the Mendocino Art Center is still going strong.

Not gonna be in Mendocino proper -- every year one of my closest friends hosts a big 72 hour party in the Woodlands camp deep in the firetrials. I get enough of the artist themepark thang when I go to Carmel. Thing I like best about the Mendocino area is that weird pygmy forest.

I lived right next to the Pygmy Forest, and used to go out and dig up gnarled little manzanitas & pines and sell them as bonsai! Someone told me that there is an exact duplicate of that forest, same acreage and everything, somewhere in Russia. One of those cosmic links I love. Have a great 72 hrs!
