We saw that Tropical Storm Hermine was downgraded to a tropical depression. Our weather radio has an alarm function that goes off when there are warnings or watches issued by the National Weather Service. The radio has been rocking back and forth on the nearby table the last couple of days with the changing conditions and multiple alarms. The highlight was last night, shortly after 7 PM when a tornado "warning" set off the radio. The warning means that a red light comes on with a message on the console, and the automated voice that comes on the radio telling people in the affected area that rotation in the clouds has been verified. We went to the television station that carries the radar and noted that the tornado area was more than a few miles away, so we relaxed, but we kept our eyes peeled for any developments, since the sky grew dark. There was a downpour, as the outer bands of the tropical storm doused the roof with a thrumming sound, but all was cozy and safe as we continued to process our orders.

There were some flood warnings overnight, but we were able to continue checking any new orders and the Postman came by at his station and we were able to get our orders in the mail. The only major event was that the dew point temperature was the same as the air temperature, so the humidity was virtually 100 percent. We are flipping to the news channels, and there are still people getting in trouble, some even are getting washed off the road in surrounding communities. But all is well here, we are still processing orders, even as we jump out of our chairs when the weather radio sounds its noisy warnings. We know the routes to avoid when flooding occurs, the roads are designed to allow water to flow over the surface without damage in many low-lying places, but we have to use alternate routing should we need to go out.

We already had excitement with our weather radio blasting us out of our solemn morning rituals of checking for new orders. The National Weather Service was issuing a flash flood warning on the All Hazards Radio that we leave on at all hours here in Central Texas. There is a short alarm tone that roused us from our duties. 

We saw that Tropical Storm Hermine is headed in our general direction, the growing clouds moving northward giving us pause in our book-buying journeys. We will probably remain indoors for the most part tomorrow and review our inventory. We have already shipped most of today's orders, just one  more that came in this evening, and we will "endeavor to persevere", since we heard that quote yesterday in a Clint Eastwood movie. We will brave the elements tomorrow to ensure that it gets mailed.

We will refrain from advertising tonight and focus on reviewing storm preparation procedures and posting new book listings on line.

They call them the MIB. They made a movie. It was successful, then they made another. It was successful. There was an X-Files episode, with cameo performance by two TV personalities: Jesse Ventura and Alex Trebeck, who dressed in black suits and drove around what looks like a massive black vintage Cadillac.

It all started with this 1958 book. We read it years ago, thought it was too sinister and bleak to finish. And then we found out recently that the whole book was itself a parody, or satire. We came across a copy not too long ago, click the picture of the book if you want to know more.  The dust cover (which we do not have) showed the silloutte of three dark suited figures (with hats!) who supposedly would come calling on "ufo researchers", to check up on them.

But the book is written with a straight face, in and authoritative, reportorial style. And if anything, it challenged the prevailing mythos of the 50s among some saucer groups that the aliens were not a world-destroying menace, as was depicted in the movies, but a gentler and kinder "space brothers." They were not abducted, as the experience is outlined now, but rather they were willing travelers to exotic places like Venus and Mars.

Thousand of people would gather together to talk and meet. If you want to explore about this interesting sub-culture of the 50s, you can look up George Van Tassel and the Integratron, a building constructed out in the California desert. There are some newsreels of the times of the thousands of people who gathered there to share their beliefs and their experiences.



But back in the 50s, Gray Barker wrote his seminal work, from which all others derive their credibility and origin. "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers" is the title of this oddball work. Here is a brief selection:

Charles Lingford, one of the earliest entities to make contact with Probert. He was at one time a dancer and entertainer, and has a decided sense of humor. He now occupies himself mainly with music and painting, along with scientific and philosophic matters, on “the other side,” where we are assured exist great libraries and other impressive sights.

Saucerians, according to these informants, are not interplanetary visitors, as we would ordinarily consider that principle, but rather superior entities who exist in other dimensions of matter—a fourth dimension, if you choose to call it that. The BSRA prefers to call these entities “etherians” and their saucers “ether ships.”

it is difficult for the “controls,” as the ghostly communicators are known, to explain such a complicated principle; in reading their messages one is not so sure that they, themselves, can.

Because etheric matter, utterly unlike our matter, is subject to the play of subtle forces, as the power of the mind, Layne further adds that most of the saucers are constructed simply by thinking about them.

Where do the etherians come from? Since their world can be considered coexistent with our own, maybe one is right there in the room with you now, on the bus, or wherever you happen to be reading this. But many of them originate not on Venus (as we would normally consider that planet as a physical state), but on the etheric counterpart of Venus. They also come from other planets, and from even beyond the Milky Way, considering these locations on the same non-materialistic basis.

Traveling such vast distances faster than even the speed of light is no trick at all, for they can transport themselves through space by merely believing they are at some particular location, and willing the fact into existence, so to speak.

This is akin to, though not quite the same thing, as teleportation, which some mediums have made graphically convincing, at least to some people. By the phenomenon of teleportation, an object, such as a vase for instance, can be made to vanish from one place and turn up some other place instantaneously, or so say the mediums. Scientifically it might be stated the atoms of the vase are disintegrated at one location and then reassembled in the identical pattern at some other location through some kind of power possessed by the mediums.

How the etherians can travel vast interstellar distances quicker than you can say “flying saucer”’ is enlarged upon by Layne, who points out that to these beings time and space are meaningless.

There is a story about Emperor Pavel the First (and if you have the Cyrillic character set installed: "Па́вел I Петро́вич") of Russia. He supposedly was so displeased with his elite corps - the  Preobrazhensky Regiment that he ordered them to turn right on the Fields of Mars parade grounds in St. Petersberg. He is quoted as saying to his troops:

“Right Turn! About Face! March to Siberia!”

According to the popular legend cited below in the drawing from a vintage pulp publication, (Ripley's circa 1930) they kept on marching and vanished into the wilderness never to be heard from again. With the Ripley's challenging rejoinder which runs something like "credible or maybe not so credible".

But another modern source on a website we found says that this is only a legend and further says that the troops got as far as Novogorod before the commander in charge of the troops was told to return. We are reviewing the publication, but there is a debate about whether to offer it for sale.

We are trying to figure out what to do with this pulp book, it is a little too delicate to sell, having deteriorated over time, the paper quality is brittle, and it is shredding, unfortunately at the end of its useful life. Such is the fate of analog reading material (as opposed to digital reading), it was produced for temporary mass consumption, and while it is rare, it is in poor condition.

But you may enjoy the order the line drawing depiction below given to "March", presumably to the death in the vast wilderness of Eastern Russia. We checked Emperor Pavel's biography and he was the son of Catherine the Great, which if you have seen the movie with Marlene Dietrich "The Scarlet Empress", would explain quite a bit about this eccentricity to compel his troops to march to oblivion.

We are task masters here at the My-Lynx Associates online store as well. While we would not engage in the pointless exercise of marching our crack troops into oblivion, if there is a book order pending in the hopper, we will demand that all measures be taken to quickly fill that order.

We don't care if it is dark or light, freezing cold or boiling hot (right now it is boiling hot in August in Texas), we command our shipping staff to gulp down some extra water rations and march to the local Post Office to ensure prompt delivery of your desired book, CD or DVD.

If necessary we will invoke the ominous Foreign Legion informal motto: "Marche ou Mort". And with their tongues turning dark from the blazing heat of the sun, they will trudge onward through the sand dunes and cacti.

And since this is the American West, the ever present carrion hunters, the vultures will circle endlessly looking for the stragglers who fall by the wayside. While it is but a short distance to the Post Office by motor carriage, the punishment for tardiness in fulfilling an order is to march onwards on foot in the glaring sunlight to meet the Postal Worker in his truck. If the truck is moving, they have standing instructions to run at a brisk pace to intercept the vehicle.

So let us suggest kindly dear readers that you order early in the day, your order will be fulfilled more quickly, and the staff will be most grateful for the courtesy.

We are experiencing a spike in book sales related to education right now, the orders are coming in at a fast clip. Of course we obsess about wrapping each package individually and it takes a while, but we are building up speed.

We had hoped to have some full moon photos tonight, but it seems to have clouded over for the time being, so we will just go with some book pictures instead:

We should have problems like this all year round. It is what we dread: too much business all at once. We spent the day wrapping and shipping mostly school textbooks and other literary-type books for school. We have been getting a steady stream of orders yesterday and today. Alright, steady stream might be too strong an expression. More like and intermittent stream. But we hardly had any blog time to ourselves, let alone put up new merchandise.

We did have quite a load of books to take to the Post Office, they were flying out the door! Alright maybe not flying, more like gently levitating off of the carpet. Our auctions were over, we had to find a big box for a stack of paperbacks, that was probably the highlight of the day, since we took in more money than we expected. Someone left a comment in Chinese on our blog, and we are trying to figure out what the three characters in Chinese were. Summon trust group? None of the combination we can figure out as coherent, unless it is just some random characters or an idiomatic expression.

We don't think they were insulting us, the English part of the comment was complimentary, but we are baffled by the Chinese part. Here is what we have on My-Lynx Associates and eBay and probably on most of the sites with links on the right:

On the natural history front we have been looking at some colorful mushrooms in the garden, at the bottom of the rose bush in a flower pot that have been growing in the 100+ Fahrenheit temperatures. We assume that it is some tropical species imbedded in the planting soil. We did a short search on the Internet and found plenty of mentions of just this mushroom known by the (rather wry) common name as the yellow houseplant mushroom because it is found in the potting soil of indoor houseplants and causes consternation in those that find them.

We have only made a tentative identification based on the visual configuration of the cap and stipe, please do not use this casual identification for entertainment purposes as a scientific certainty, since some of you may visit this blog via a search engine and may try and use this as a reference source, which this is not. We are just guessing. After all we are humble booksellers with a curiosity about the world of nature, not full-fledged professional mycologists. Accurate species identification includes both microscopic analysis and such things as supplemental supporting evidence using spore print colors, which we have not done. If we sell enough books we could build the dream laboratory with electron-scanning microscopes and microtomes, but that is up to you dear reader, you may hasten our dreams by clicking on any of the website links on this page.

That disclaimer aside, the presumed scientific names (probably because of the emerging importance of DNA research and restless mycologists who are unhappy with older names and invent newer ones) are: Lepiota lutea, Lepiota birnbaumii, Leucocoprinus luteus). Most sites use Lepiota birnbaumii as the current name. It is not edible, though whether is it is poisonous or just causes gastric upset is unclear. Of course, for most people, those are about the same, but the difference between simple gastric distress for a night and a liver transplant are of concern to physicians and patients alike.

But that is the exciting world of mycological identification. One must exercise caution since a trivial error in identification can have fatal consequences.

The astronomers call the moon later in its journey to full moon by the baffling title: "waxing gibbous", waxing as in increasing and gibbous as in "bulging outwards".

But right now the moon still in the crescent phase. Here it is (below our book selection) in the early evening sky, illuminated by some high clouds shortly after sunset, around 8:30 on Thursday.

We had some technical difficulties with multiple copies of our blog late on Thursday night. We had to delete the extra copies. And when we logged on this Friday morning, we found to our surprise that the published copy had also managed to be deleted as well. So we are reposting this entry with the trepidation that the original copy might somehow be floating in some interstice and could come back to visit again.

In the wee hours of Thursday, we dragged ourselves out from our warm repose (actually very warm, temperatures are over 100 the last 5 days or so) into the cool night air. We slowly floated out of our covers and down the hall to look up at the northern Texas sky. We saw a couple of planets, some twinkling stars, a waning crescent moon cast a dim glow over the My-Lynx Associates headquarters. We were tiptoeing around not wanting to awaken the neighbors to our unearthly preoccupation with the Aurora Borealis. We saw that another Texas blogger had gotten a spectacular photo of the atmospheric glow of the Aurora, so we had high hopes of at least seeing some light in the sky. There was a thin layer of high cirrus clouds here and there as moisture from the Texas Gulf migrated inland, but it only promised a hint of coming rain, a microscopic chance of showers today, which never materialized beyond a few scudding clouds and thin streamers of cirrus.

We stared for a while up and down the tree-lined street to the north, but nothing was apparent. Was it the brilliant light of the sodium vapor lamps, those brilliant sentinels that bring a golden yellow light to the ground and sky both? Did the illumination dim the celestial display with its dazzling and overwhelming localized light, that shines up into the sky as well and makes all but the brightest stars invisible? We cannot say. It could be the hilly terrain locally, which obscures the movements of heavenly objects to a narrow range overhead and to the South. We searched in vain, and returned to our torpor, and with thoughts of rare volumes of books and out-of-print bargains yet to be put online, we tossed and turned until almost dawn. As the faint light of dawn broke, we once again looked northward to catch a glimpse of the tell-tale sign of what the astronomers term a MCE or Mass Coronal Ejection. A giant chunk of the sun's plasma was thrown into space several days ago, and the highly charged energetic particles of the solar sphere itself have been racing towards the Earth's magnetic field, where interacting with the different gases in the upper reaches of the atmosphere has treated summer viewers (we wonder where they are since many of them are in the land of the midnight sun, but anyway those who experience a little night would have been able to see the display.

We awoke later in the morning to process our book orders from around the nation and around the world, perhaps again we will watch the darkened skies once more in the fond hope of seeing this rare celestial display. We see that the media in some of the local stations is trying to alarm the public by playing to the ignorance of the risk-averse. We actually found a television web page that asked the rhetorical question: "Are we in danger?" from the "Solar Tsunami". They must stay up later than we do at night trying to dream that stuff up during  the slow news cycles of August when all the decision makers have fled to their vacation abodes.

The only danger we anticipate is a slip on the lawn from the heavy dew on the lawn of our world-wide headquarters as we slink around the property in the hope of catching a glimpse of the glowing celestial lights. And we say slink because we will be in our evening work uniform of t-shirt and pyjamas in case we need to check for your book orders before the break of day. We work around the clock for our international patrons. We just rest our eyes occasionally for a cat-nap now and again. But perhaps some of the neighboring observers may not be so understanding so we will tiptoe.

Our restless night and other worldly concerns reduced our output today. Here is a sample of our new merchandise from the personal collection of a former local municipal official. Read more at the picture-link below:

It is late at night here at our headquarters, and we are preparing for some late-night reading, perhaps again tonight, we will watch the darkened skies once more in the fond hope of seeing this rare celestial display.

We have seen the wags in the media referring to this solar flare as a "solar tsunami" and one television website we found breathlessly asks the preposterous question: "Are we in danger?"

We have concluded that they are trying to alarm the public by playing to the astronomical ignorance of the risk-averse portion of the populace to enhance their viewer ratings. Next they will be saying that sunglasses or special eyewear will not be needed to enjoy the Northern Lights. There is a company that markets sunglasses that promises "thermonuclear protection" for their product. 

The news writers must stay up later than we do at night trying to dream that stuff up during  the slow news cycles of August when all the decision makers have fled to their vacation abodes. This is the heart of the "silly season" when anything can happen and will be dutifully reported as news. It usually only lasts till Labor Day, but there is no hard and fast rule about its duration. All we know is that both the ridiculous and the sublime are melded together and served up to the ever-credulous public. We will keep you informed and will not speculate about what might be around the corner.

The only danger we anticipate tonight is a slip on the lawn from the heavy dew on the lawn of our world-wide headquarters as we slink around the property in the hope of catching a glimpse of the glowing celestial lights.

Our restless night and other worldly concerns reduced our output today. Here is a sample of our new merchandise from the personal collection of a former local municipal official. Read more at the picture-link below:

We have been checking the horizon for the Dog Star, Sirius. It is supposed to appear around now about dawn. Our star charts indicate that we are just about at the edge of the time when the Dog Star is first sighted above the horizon, in Central Texas, after its journey to invisibility and being out of sight for 70 days. The astronomers call this first appearance the "heliacal rising."

It is supposed to be a harbinger of hot weather. At least in the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans. It was also the time when the Nile flowed at its maximum and deposited its life giving mud on the shores which were farmed after the waters receded. We checked for one Egyptian city, and Sirius is visible already, in the sky just before dawn.

They thought way back then in B. C. times, before they knew much about the relationship of how the sun moved in its orbit in relation to the earth, that the extra light from this bright star would cause the heat to increase. And it has hit triple digits the last couple of days for the first time this year, and today too, so who are we to argue? Sirius is out there in the day's sky somewhere, heating up everything as far as we are concerned. But rationally speaking, it is a high over Texas that is keeping the weather clear and hot, but we like to think back to the old days.

And the dogs would start panting, trying to stay cool in the hottest months in July and August, which some people speculate had to do with fear of the dogs.

Every year you hear the expression "The Dog Days of Summer". One explanation was a little apprehension. If the dog's panting grew too intense, then perhaps they would become rabid, and start foaming at the mouth so the ancients reasoning was handed down in the manuscripts. Panting was not just a harmless activity that we know it now, to keep the poor canine cool as he lay on a mosaic floor in ancient Herculaneum or Pompeii with the "Cave Canum" sign (Beware Dog!) at the door to the main entrance of the ancient villas of those legendary cities.

Panting by dogs was viewed more suspiciously back then as an intermediate stage, and depending on the appearance of the star on the horizon, and whether it flickered or remained steady, that was supposed to be inauspicious / auspicious sign of the hot season to come.

In our supposedly more rational times, people look at economic indicators now to foretell the future, and use key indexes to predict the coming season's investment or activities. The ancients, in their elegant way looked to the heavens for signs of whether it was wise to begin an activity or refrain from doing anything.

Humans that were overcome with the heat would be referred to as "star-struck", which in modern parlance refers to being taken aback by a celebrity. But in ancient times, they thought that the radiation from the star could cause fatigue and lassitude. The Greek word is "αστροβολητος" or in Roman letters "Astro-boletos".

Some not-so-random associations: A bolide in astronomy is a kind of meteor, we will look into if it has a similar derivation, because a bolide can leave a huge crater when it hits. And a bolete is a kind of tasty mushroom, the most commonly known is a cep or porcini (boletus edulus), which you can usually find at high-end restaurants that specialize in wild mushrooms. We know the ancient Romans were quite fond of boletes, having a specialized cooking vessel dedicated to their cooking - a boletarium as we recollect. But don't cite this as a definitive source, we need to check our references, we could not find it on the Internet anywhere <gasp>.

Here is a book we just put up for sale, on our own website, or if you prefer at one of the websites indicated on the right. Lots of people are getting off the grid, and because of water restrictions for the last 5 years or so are deciding to get their own water, from the sky, and cut their pipes to the utility and live like pioneers (they kept cisterns made of limestone). This is a book by one of the local Texas practitioners of the art of squeezing water from the clouds.

Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged

We have been checking with our staff Astronomer at Hi-Tech-And-Antique / My-Lynx Associates about the pending emergence of Sirius above the horizon at dawn. Unfortunately he is also the staff astrologer, so we have a hard time discussing science with him. And we need to have a bigger observing tower, we have books stacked up between us and the rising sun, so we can't make the proper observation.

Currently we just have some boxes on the patio in the back. We need a 10 or 15 story tall air-conditioned observatory, sort of like a big lighthouse, with a wet bar and custom-ground lens in a reflecting telescope, which is a little pricey. Maybe we will put up a PayPal donation button to raise the 6-figure sum  that we would need to properly do the job, including the elevator and rotating moon-viewing pavilion built in Imperial Chinese style with gold and vermilion highlights. Since we only have around 1,100 books for sale right now, we cannot rely on the book selling business by itself, unless our customers take it upon themselves to buy large quantities of books.

Each month we update our inventory list available at My-Lynx Associates.com . It provides different web sites with information that they in turn present to their viewers. Since today is August 1st we will delete the information from last months list and move the updated information about the titles of the books we sell here. It is a lengthy list, which you are free to peruse.

People even like to leave random comments about how much they like the entry, but we believe that to be a way for them to link to their own blogs, since the same comments are repeated across websites. You are free to leave a comment, subject to approval, but we prefer that it relate to the topic at hand. Which is books and book-related topics for the most part. We talk about the weather alot here in Central Texas, so it would not take too much imagination if you were to comment about the weather in your part of the  world.

We don't mind if you link back to your business or blog, just make the slight effort to leave a non-generic comment that is somehow related to the content. We have had promotional links for buying retail businesses in the Spanish Isles, English As A Second Language schools in Los Angeles, Sneakers in some far off place where English is not a primary means of communication, and even the idea of buying real estate in Central America's lush garden spots. But none of these commentators, who must enter the random code, and take a couple of minutes to visit, took the effort to even comment on the content of the blog.

Here is a list of books for sale (you can buy them with credit cards too), they are all available at My-Lynx Associates , where we have a secure link to process your orders, we even have PayPal, which we prefer for our international buyers. Most of the books are also available on our "sister" websites visible on the right, where some of the books, depending on the vagaries of that website may have the same copy available.

If you feel uncomfortable about doing business at our own precious little website and would like to join the droves of happy shoppers at the big-box sites, then we have the king of books: Amazon and even eBay (our eBay Store is hitechandantique.com ) shopping sites as well (check our customer ratings.

That is how it seems, spend a lot of time working at a computer doing on line stuff, and then run out of energy at the end of the day when it comes time to write about what was done today. We enjoyed some rain showers coming up from the Gulf of Mexico here in Central Texas. Usually this is the blast-furnace season when the skies are blindingly blue and we feel daring going outside without a hat on.

But it was cooler and gray, the lawn out in front is growing when last year it was shriveling and turning yellow. The weather man says the first week or so of August is usually the hottest week of the year, but everyone is scratching their heads and saying that we have not hit triple digits yet. As if that were a bad thing.

The lightning was not too intense, we usually unplug the computer when things start getting too electrical outside, but our equipment survived and we worked through the sometimes intense, albeit brief periods of rain. Here is what we have for sale, relatively new to the Internet - available on eBay and other websites indicated on the right hand side of this web page.

We have not been posting daily about our little book world, we have the summer doldrums, the temperature is warm, the birds are singing. We even found another nestling at the door last night, yelling for its dinner on the front porch. We should have gotten a picture, but it hopped away as soon as it saw us, screeching all the way, it was almost a fledgling. We tried to track it down, but the light got too dim.

We are waiting for the silly season to start. That would be the time from the end of July till Labor Day when the powers-that-be take a vacation. And in order to fill print space, the newspapers and cable networkds carry intriguing stories about the odd, the unusual and the strange and the stories suddenly take on a life of their own. Of course, in the last 15 years, the Internet has filled that void the rest of the year, but we will be watching for the unusual.

We saw a story about a man who is chained in the basement of his house in a far-off country. His parents claim that he possessed by a female djinn, or genie. That would be a run-of-the-mill event in some parts of the world, but during the silly season it gets reported by news-gathering organizations. We think that is the "kick off" story of the silly season, when the humidity goes up, people go on vacation, and millions of people enjoy the great outdoors. At least in the Northern Hemisphere.

We will keep you updated. We heard a story about how it was getting frosty in the Peruvian Amazon. Which means anything is possible.

We are systematically cleaning out our stock, making room for new merchandise. We sold a book earlier this week, and after we reduced the price, it sold within two hours. We think we marked it down too much, but that is what a clearance is all about - clearing out extra stuff.  You might find a bargain. If you need to know more about our merchandise you can purchase on the following sites:

A1 Books
AbeBooks
Alibris
Amazon
Biblio
eBay

Half.com

Our goal is to ship within one business day of your order, and sometimes we are even faster than that, especially if you order early in the day.

We obtained some more items yesterday in our book search - actually more of a book quest, our obsessive quest in our search for the perfect book, which is something of a challenge in the heat of a Texas summer. But we won't complain.

We have new stuff to list, but we won't get to it today. Here is a neat and tidy listing of some recently listed items from last week for sale on eBay.

That is what has been staring our visitors for over a week. We have not updated our blog with any fresh material. We have been visiting other blogs, and we see that some of them are over a year out of date. Did the owners give up? Did they forget their blog responsibilities? Was it the stress of the demands of blogging? Was it lack of material?

We don't know, but we feel their despair.  Perhaps despair is too strong a word, for we are talking about the intangible motivations of people unknown to us. And our new excuse is that we are confused by the rearrangements of the BBC news website. They have moved everything around, none of the buttons are where they used to be and the font style has changed. As the mice in the best-selling book with a similar title say: Who moved our cheese?

But we won't complain to our readers about cheese. In fact we don't sell the book about cheese. We specialize in books that are hard-to-find our out of print. If you want a best seller, go to the super market or the drug store, or the big chain place that sells books. They do a fine job of distributing to the masses. But if you are a reader of this blog, you are no longer one of the masses. You are being transformed into a core of the new elite, our future customers. If you want to fulfill your future destiny click the following link for maximum satisfaction:


And as we like to say at least once a year, we want Andy Rooney's job. Who is Andy Rooney? He is a curmudgeon that comes on television on Sunday night at the end of the 60 Minutes show. He talks about his life, and the people and things in it. He has been doing the same thing since the 1960s when the show first aired. He was probably complaining about the hippies and their smelly habits when we got our first love beads. Or scratchy polyester. Or Orville Redenbacher's loud tie. Or those hideous pastel colors of the performers on the Lawerence Welk show, which are still in reruns on PBS, scaring us every week on Sundays.

We did not know that they were hideous in the 60s, we did not have color television. We just thought that the women had hair that was way too big.

We admit we are jealous about Andy's cushy job. He gets an office, and a nice desk. And stuff to read. And he just has to talk for a couple of minutes a week. Sort of like us with this blog. Except without the camera. And he probably gets a bigger paycheck. We could do that. Why can't he retire? And let some younger blood take over? Like us. We could talk about our Feng Shui Toad, and how he is bringing in the bucks every full moon. We could put this blog entry on a teleprompter and just read it in a dramatic fashion.

But when we ourselves don't post to our blog on a semi-weekly basis at least, we feel the disappointment via an intuitive link with our readers. Sort of like the character on Star Wars who felt the disturbance in the Force. "As if dozens of voices cried out for their blog entry and were suddenly greatly disappointed."

Our only excuse is that we are being baked by the heat of the summer, and we have been toying with the temperature crossing the 100 degree mark all week. After all it is mid-July. Almost the Dog Days.

We see that the people in positions of power and influence are all taking time off now to go to their summer vacation spots, and while we are not taking time off ourselves, we are preoccupied with running our book business instead of blogging. Right now we are purging our stock of unwanted merchandise, and repricing some of the remaining items.

It is part and parcel of our Feng Shui (That is Chinese for Wind & Water). That is the art and semi-science of positioning items and buildings, geomancy, and general arrangement of material things to ensure prosperity and happiness.

We are clearing out the shelves, to replenish our supply of Chi (also Chinese for "breath"). By cleaning out the older portions of our stock, we hope to make room for new and more glorious merchandise. We are already feeling semi-happy.

And over by the Wi-Fi Network transmitter we have a Feng Shui Auspicious Toad (it is actually a statue). This is what we use to attract wealth. It is some kind of legend of old China, that when the full moon comes around, if you are visited by a three-legged toad, then treasure and worldly wealth will follow. So we are feeding our toad statue some coins, in the hope that their will be wealth multiplication. We don't know why three legged toads are lucky, missing one leg does not sound lucky to us, but that is the stuff of legends.

We heard that recently in China, in some body of water, a well or ditch, that they found some real three-legged frogs and people were coming from far and wide to collect the living emblem of wealth. Of course, having three legs in this case meant that their was some kind of toxic dump nearby that was causing mutagenic alterations to the frog anatomy (think Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk, but with small amphibians and not so angry), but again, it is the legend that is important, not the cause.

So stay tuned to our blog, we will be back with news of books.

As we mentioned yesterday, we hate going out in the rain for books. But today, the sun was shining, just a hint of clouds.

But this is Central Texas, we heard tell that the Rio Grande on the Southern Border is bursting its banks with the latest day's rain that spoiled a book buying trip we had planned yesterday, so we decided to make a run for it today.

After all, we thought we were too far north to worry about it. But Texas weather is notorious for its variability, and the distant clouds on the horizon became menacing gray strips of darkness, and peals of thunder rumbled closer by the minute. When we saw the leaves on the trees showing their undersides and the rustle of the tree branches we knew we were in for a blow.

We managed to get our first stack of books on our latest trip back into the car with no major trauma. Just a few drops on the windshield. But as we went back, greedy creatures that we are, we wanted a second look at the stacks of books as the darkening clouds finally burst over the carport / covered patio where we sheltered with the remaining books. We braved the lightning and thunder,  all in the search for knowledge and wisdom. We even carry a lamp like the philosophers of old, just in case we have to read an ISBN number or UPC bar code on the covers of our contemporary repositories of great thinking.

We managed to place a few more desirable tomes into our trusty plastic bags, and then we looked around for a while searching for other treasures, till the rain at last subsided.

We have returned to our My-Lynx Associates lair, safely shielded from the elements, as we review the triumphant prizes that we have rescued from certain oblivion. Who says the book business can be dull? Still another day of pulse-pounding excitement that we will share with the world shortly.

We are waiting breathlessly for your order, especially today. We have the books at our fingertips, ready to wrap them in sturdy wrapping paper and cardboard. We are listing books for sale at multiple sites, you can see them on the right.

We are staying indoors today. It has been raining in Central Texas, and we are like cats, we hate going out in the rain. We don't mind getting our footpads wet, as cats are not fond of getting their paws wet, we are made of sterner stuff, but rather we don't want water drops staining our books.

We have even canceled a book-buying trip today, because the water gets on the paper covers and leaves spots, we have to carefully wrap our books in plastic.

We will leap into action as soon as your order comes in. Here is some of the items we have for sale on eBay. They are also available on our own website: My-Lynx Associates as well. We have a 1949 copy of a book by Jean Paul Sartre's novel "Nausea", an early English-language edition by New Directions publishers. Another book we found recently is a literary essay on culture by the noted poet T. S. Eliot.

We have a book, a 1980s reprint, by the master of Science Fiction, Philip K. Dick - "Martian Time Slip" about a troubled repairman who flees Earth to one of the Mars Colonies, and finds himself in even more trouble. He left a comfortable conapt (Dick's futuristic term for a condominium-apartment) in Southern California because of troubling visions of people who looked like machines.

When he is unexpectedly called in to repair some teaching machines at his son's school, he sees for the first time the specialized mechanical teachers in the form of Edison, and other famous personages of history who teach history. And in a kind of mirror to our own contemporary universe (the book was started as a short story in '62 and released as a novel in '64), one of the critical teachers is a machine that does maintenance on the school, who is called "The Angry Janitor", a seeming simulacrum of the cartoon janitor "Willie", the Groundskeeper on the Simpsons television cartoon series, who appeared in the 1991 TV for the first time. Was it coincidence or just a stereotype of school janitors in general? P. K. Dick describes the janitor dryly as a combination of the personalities of Dwight Eisenhower and Socrates.

The Angry Janitor is programmed to teach respect for private property. When the main character is sent to repair the mechanical teachers at the local colony school for the first time, he recalls his visions of mechanical humans on earth and tries to come to grips that one possible explanation was he was having visions of the future, not just hallucinations. This is presumably part of the time-slip mentioned in the title, where past, present, and future all flow into an often disturbing, and even entertaining story of life on Mars in the future. The irony is that the book is set in the year 1994.

Here is a little dialog about the teachers and the janitor:

"We think it might be this," the woman--or rather this peripatetic extension of the school--said,
holding out a folded paper.

Unwadding it, he found a diagrammed congeries of selfregulating feedback valves.

"This is an authority figure, isn't it?" he said. "Teaches the child to respect property. Very righteous
type, as the Teachers go."

"Yes," the woman said.

Manually, he reset the Angry Janitor and restarted it. After clicking for a few moments, it turned red
in the face, raised its arm and shouted, "You boys keep out of here, you understand?" Watching the
whiskery jowls tremble with indignation, the mouth open and shut, Jack Bohlen could imagine the
powerful effect it would have on a child. His own reaction was one of dislike. However, this construct
was the essence of the successful teaching machine; it did a good job, in conjunction with two dozen
other constructs placed, like booths in an amusement park, here and there along the corridors which
made up the school. He could see the next teaching machine, just around the corner; several children
stood respectfully in front of it as it delivered its harangue.

We list our books at the My-Lynx Associates website on a monthly basis. We had a national holiday over the weekend, and we got distracted with the sounds of fireworks. The booming and banging made us forget that we have a tradition at the begining of each month.

There are some CDs and a few DVDs for sale as well. Please don't yawn at the list. We see that for reasons known only to themselves that many people come from far and wide to gaze upon our list. While it is not one of our more fascinating literary efforts, it does attract the attention of many search engines and web sites who evaluate the information in the list. Perhaps they have a slight obsession, liking to know what is for sale. Or perhaps they resell the information to other third parties. But we are not in the business of judging what they use the information for. We sell books. If you want you can have these tangible artifacts of cellulose and cloth and cardboard for your very own. That is how we make a living at My-Lynx Associates. We ship books via mail to many homes across America. And if you purchase on eBay or Amazon, or pay by PayPal, we even ship overseas to some international buyers as well. Just don't pay by check if you are ordering internationally. That raises eyebrows in these days of international commerce.

It is not celebrated world-wide, but it is a national holiday here in the United States, our day of independence from our predecessors, also known with capital letters "Independence Day". We see that the movie about alien invasion is on. It has the same name: "Independence Day". We are not sure that the message of the movie: is the meaning that we as Earthlings are declaring ourselves free of extraterrestrial cruelty and tyranny?

But without thinking about it to deeply, the message is something like that, a kind of apocalyptic alternative future where lead actors, played by a wisecracking Will Smith and the wry Jeff Goldblum try and win the Earth back from the grip of overwhelming extraterrestrial forces. We watched while flipping through the channels to watch the riveting part where people are lined up to welcome the aliens on top of an office tower in Los Angeles, and then the aliens presumably destroyed the entire city, starting with the rather unique circular First Interstate tower. It is not called that now, since First Interstate underwent a merger / acquisition, but we recognized the logo from the 90s era when the film was made.

We thought that was a little traumatic for Sunday viewing, to say the least, we don't like to watch scenes of mass destruction of major cities, so we switched back to reading news on the Internet, and we remembered that we had not updated our blog here. While not catastrophic on a large scale, it was enough to get us to sit down and start writing.

We are on light duty today here at My-Lynx Associates, no shipping tomorrow, it is a Post Office holiday, so any purchase will have to wait until Tuesday. The remnants of Hurricane Alex have been providing some unseasonal rain here in Central Texas, and the lawn and flowers are uncharacteristically lush from the days of steady, if intermittent rains. Anyone West of the Mississippi knows that rain is the lifeblood of the West, the reservoirs, lakes, rivers and streams are all fed by seasonal rains, and so when tropical moisture comes north from the Gulf, we view it as a kind of heavenly blessing, especially since we only got the rain, and not the devastating winds that hit on the Mexico coastline a couple of hundred miles south of here.

Here is our featured book of the day, a true-to-life recapitulation of World War II spy exploits, with a carefully researched set of otherwise little-known stories of the battle behind the scenes that had as much to do with winning the war as the deployment of massive numbers of troops and equipment.

We are glancing through the chapter on Peenemünde, which during the War was a secret base in Germany where the V-2 rocket was being tested in the hectic and tumultuous last days of the German Reich as a last ditch "vengeance-weapon". The Allies stepped up bombing of targets there, which is recounted in the book, with the result that the Germans redeployed their efforts into even more secret underground bases located in both France and Poland.

Readers of Pynchon's intricate novel "Gravity's Rainbow", in which both the V-2 project and accompanying English and American intelligence efforts are covered. The actual events of World War II are merged with a fanciful tapestry of the encyclopedic plot which revolves around the V-2. The many fans of the book may find this book of interest as well.
