The Letter Y
We had a low-key Sunday - we looked up at the sky and noticed that is was damp, but no rain appeared before sunset. It looked like it was trying to rain. We stayed inside in seclusion and moved things around in the office, trying to look busy in case the boss came in. We did some blog research, got our stock ready for shipping.
We looked out at 4:30 and there was a uniform gray color from horizon to horizon. We had to get a few branches from a tree into the photograph, because otherwise, the picture would be just a gray square. We did some research on the Icelandic alphabet, and we found out that the old letters from the old English and Colonial signs where it shows the "Ye" as in "Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe" is not originally pronounced "Yee". Instead the letter Y was in used as a "Th" sound.
We may have had a hole in our education, or it is not generally known, or if we ever heard it, we did not retain it.

When In Doubt - Quote in Latin
Latin is our recreational language. When we feel dull or grey, in the darkest depths of Winter's grasp, we take delight in the fact that for all its shortcomings, Latin is undergoing a veritable renaissance. One can find texts online, unbelievably enough, that have never been translated into English.
We believe that European culture went into decline when Greek and Latin were dropped from the universal curriculum and the general population was summarily cut off from the source of great inspiration and thought that had accumulated over the centuries. So, we go to our book of quotes and drop in this tidbit from Horace:
Luctantem Icariis fluctibus Africum
mercator metuens otium et oppidi
laudat rura sui; mox reficit rates
quassas, indocilis pauperiem pati.
Of course, being somewhat ignorant ourselves, we must read this from a book of quotes with translation:
The merchant, dreading the Southwest wind wrestling with the Icarian waves,
praises retirement and the rural life of his native town,
but soon he repairs to his shattered bark,
incapable of being taught to endure poverty.
We had to look up Icarian, it is a region, and an ancient sea. So it reads when pounded by the tumultus waves of a mighty African / Icarian sea, the heedless seller will talk of an idyllic life in his land of birth, which is probably a poverty-stricken, land-locked, two-bit burg, but after the danger of the storm passes, he repairs his ship and travels onward, not being fit enough to endure the lashes of living without the luxury of the trading life. Sort of like us here at the My-Lynx Associates world trading headquarters, except without the raging seas, or the ship, or the native town.

Thanks to Our Customers
Thanks to our customers, we are busy worrying about paper cuts as we frantically wrap our packages to get them in the early mail tomorrow, Saturday. We are always on the job here, looking, shipping, driving, buying, shopping, resupplying, and so on. This evening was a marathon of wrapping books, sending e-mails and watching the blue sky as the clouds finally lifted after days of gray sameness. We felt like groundhogs thrust into the bright light of day after the murky depths of cloudy vastness that we have been living with for the better part of the week.
So we will just post a few new entries using our eBay stock. You can pick out most of these items at any of the stores that we sell on: Amazon, My-Lynx Associates, A1 Books, Alibris, AbeBooks, Biblio, and Half.com. Some of the books may not be available on all of the sites, because they are a little picky if the books are a little older or have non-standard International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN's). But we put them here so the little spiders from around the Internet can crawl over them and light up their little robot tentacles to send a message out to the world that My-Lynx Associates is "Here and reporting for duty". We sit here for the moment, with our hands folded, now that the roll call has been completed, with a proper part in our hair, our shirts freshly ironed and our pants with a marked crease before we go on to our next duties.

February Inventory - What is in the Store - Damp and Cool Weather in the Office
Once a month we list what we have for sale. Not everyone wants to read hundreds of entries, but it comes to the top of our list for reference purposes. We remove the previous month's listing and put a link in that entry pointing here.
The reason why is lots of people come and glance at the seemingly endless list, some even use it to provide content in their own blogs, for reasons known only to them. Maybe they like long lists of book titles. Maybe you do too.
You might type in an obscure title for some long out-of-print book and find yourself right here, wondering - "How to I get that beautiful book? How do I make it my very own?"
You simply go to the book website shown in the fashionable forest-green link below and fulfill your heart's desire.

To update you on our daily adventures: we are sitting here in semi-darkness, a delightful cold winter rain is intermittently drumming on the roof, and soaking the garden with some richly needed dampness. You might wonder why we are sitting in the semi-dark? That would be because of the layers of thick clouds at 11:00 AM in the morning. The automatic lighting system in the other room that is supposed to come on at sunset is blinking on in the other room. Darkness at the noontide, in other words. We are feeling like night-owls in the middle of the day.
The rains have not caused any flooding, always a concern while we drive around looking for new book treasures, since many of the roads are designed to allow the streams to flow right over them, with the idea being that money can be saved on bridges and overpass structures.
As a result here in Central Texas only the smart and strong survive, because otherwise, you could drive into the rushing water in the dark and vanish into a torrent of water crossing the road. Even the special-band weather radio with the mechanical computer voice reminds us whenever it rains "Turn Around Don't Drown", because the law of nature in the Old American West is unforgiving. We keep the volume on the weather radio here in the office turned up and on 24 hour alert mode in case things change.
You make a careless mistake driving down an unfamiliar road and you could end up on the top of your car with a cell phone in one hand while waving to the rescue helicopter with the other. If you are lucky enough to get out of the car in time, and that it floats long enough. Here is the two foot-list.

Prompt Decision Successful Bid
That means something, but our translators cannot quite figure it out. It is mostly in Japanese.
Someone else is listing our merchandise on their website, with a map of where we are in the world, which is apparently the other side of the International Date Line from where they are. That is the curiosity about our world, people want to pitch in and sell our stuff, but we don't know who they are nor do we know why they are listing our stuff for sale on their web site. Maybe it is a link thing, where they make some pennies for a referral to get people to click their mice. But we already do that for ourselves just click:
If you want to buy our stuff on eBay just click the link. We know how to sell stuff online, we want to try out a new sort of numbered list kind of haiku here about how we sell. We call it the How-We-Sell Non-Standard haiku (it is a violation of haiku rules):
The writing on the other website we were looking at is in Japanese, not our strong suite with all the extra ways that they have for depicting alphabetic characters, it is something like four or five different writing systems, it is like the matrix source code streaming by on the screen like drops of water coming down, there is a blonde going by, a brunette, there is the lady in red. We never get tired of that movie.
And don't get us started on the calligraphy. Very elegant, but some of it is impossible for our eyes to read.
Here is the headline in the original text (if you have the East Asian fonts installed, otherwise you will see a jumble of seemingly random characters, the price may be off, since they are using an old copy of our original advertisement:
We are only guessing that it means Buy It Now Price, which is what it is offered as on eBay with the equivalent price in Yen, the local currency. But it means something similar: Prompt Decision means more or less "Now"- and the other two characters taken together mean something like "Sale On The Spot", sort of like we are standing on a street corner with a box of books and saying "buy it now", and then egg on the idle spectator with a little dig: "It won't be here later." Which is true, we are selling on the big street, the Internet, and the stuff won't be here forever, it is all subject to prior sale. This item has a special store designation: AA4-0165, which is not of interest to humans, but non-humans may take note <humans skip to next sentence please> that the title is Optimum Experimental Designs by Atkinson and Donev, with the special unique 2 ISBN identifiers: 0198522541 and 9780198522546

Our Most Useless Book
This is a coupon savings book for 2006. We use a combination of perceived value, appearance, common sense, and instinct to pick out many of our selections. The choices we make are hurried, on-the-spot and sometimes faulty. Case in point is the book below.
We are looking at many of the coupons that are in the book after we snatched up the book. They are specifically for one city - Houston. And when we got the book home and reviewed the contents we were astonished to see that most, if not all the coupons had an expiry date of 2006-2007.
So we put the book up for sale anyway. Maybe there is a time-traveler, or an historical writer, or more realistically, someone who has fond memories of Houston, Texas in the year 2006.

What We Find In Books
Sometimes what we find inside the books is more interesting than the books themselves. People insert all sorts of items or even whole photo albums.
It was 11 AM on a cold winter's day when 5 small children decided to disguise themselves as cartoon mice, presumably as part of some classroom skit or activity. We are not sure of the motivation, one can only imagine what these beaming rodents were up to when the photo was taken of them lined up for their poses.

Our Best Seller! (That would be One!)
We picked this up a few days ago, it is probably the most popular book we have. We have a lot of specialty and out-of-print books, that makes up most of our stock.
The books recommended by Oprah and Doctor Phil are usually best sellers, but after a few months there are too many copies on the resale market to make it worthwhile to sell them here.
And because we don't usually deal with publishers directly, the books we find are sometimes even one-of-a-kind. But we just put up our one best-seller: "In Defense Of Food". It has a rather ponderous sounding subtitle: "An Eater's Manifesto", which makes it almost sound philosophical or political. It is a logical analysis of food and the food industry - nutrition has apparently gone wrong, and the author writes the book in order to prove the point that we need to reclaim common sense when it comes to eating. If we say much more, we will end up reading the book ourselves.
Each page has some interesting tidbits. It has a little science, a little introspection on the nature of food and how it has been taken over by professionals. The author offers remedies to this increasingly sterile and unnutritious outcome. Click the picture now before it is gone. It will sell quickly. And it is our only copy.

Thursday Night and We can Almost Hear The Drizzle!
We were out in the rain today, but it was a mild rain, just a little spit on the windshield. It was from the West Coast, so we were told, and it is making the weather in Central Texas a little unstable, but we are south of the snowy region, that apparently sweeping across the midsection of the country. Here are some recently listed books.
If we had time we would read them ourselves. The Nostromo book below, is by Joseph Conrad, considered by some to be his best, and is based on a seafarer's tale he heard about. It was a sailor who later wrote a book about the experience of stealing an entire shipload of silver during a tumultuous revolution in South America. Se would like to look at the book about logic as well, but time does not permit us to read our own books for the most part.
There is a translation of a German pioneer's memories about life in Texas over a century ago, that we will probably glance at, translated fairly recently. We have seen references to it elsewhere. It is missing a corner of the dust jacket, it is not a collectible, but should be of interest to anyone who wants to know about the early history of Texas.

We Have Our Own Gecko!
We don't have a big animation budget like the television insurance companies, but we do have a live gecko. We have had them come in the house once in a while in search for game here in Central Texas. The ones outside have a darker color, but the species is probably Hemidactylus frenatus, an introduced species from Southeast Asia that has established itself here. Presumably it jumped on a container ship with its sticky padded feet and hung on until the container arrived and was shipped through Texas. It has adapted fairly well to the hot, dry climate in Central Texas.
It does not speak with an English accent, nor does it stand on its hind legs as the ones on television do. It is more of a sedate gray color here, with some stripes along the sides. We may or may not consult with them about future marketing trends, since they periodically visit to catch bugs in the porch light by climbing the walls. They are somewhat nervous about showing themselves, because there small size makes them vulnerable to any bird larger than a sparrow.

Not Another Day At the Office
One of the books we have sitting in inventory is a book reporting to a community of test pilots the latest developments in the field. It is from an annual symposium held in Los Angeles, in this case back in 2003. It is bound pamphlet that was circulated to the participants as a handout at the symposium, and contains technical information and notes about the presentations made. It is a hard to find copy.
As we flip through it, we realize that we are in a different world from that of the calm, orderly and quiet world of the tranquil bookseller. We are reading about altitude and airspeed, hydraulic flows, throttles, handling characteristics and so on. Because this is not the world of books, rather it is the ultimate adrenaline ride, the testing of experimental planes. And not ordinary experimental craft that people build in their garages with kits, but rather full fledged high-speed multi-Mach-speed machines that move faster than bullets in flight.
While one of the greatest fears of a bookseller is a paper-cut from wrapping paper, we look here at the issues involved in testing an aircraft, and we have to wonder about the paragraph in italics below that outlines deliberately trying to force a plane into a unstable flight pattern to simulate control recovery in the worst case situation. Here's a photo of the cover with a link:
By comparison, we get excited when we used to push planes through their paces in a flight simulator software game. It is hard for us to imagine with the multiple complexities of three dimensional movement at high speed in real life trying to recover from a deliberate test of having an airplane spin out of control and then hopefully, try to recover before the plane crashes.
Not our idea of a day in the office. We put a You-Tube video below with a deployed spin-chute for an X-29 test aircraft to give you a quick demonstration of what a spin chute is and how it works. The paragraph from our book talks about a design modification due to design/cost consideration that would eliminate the parachute from the test during a simulation of a test condition to simulate the circumstances that had caused a number of operational planes to crash.
Here is a short mid-presentation discussion to the test pilots about removing one of the primary safety features for revamping a change to eliminate the high speed "falling leaf" failure that had caused the plane to oscillate and lose altitude drastically while swaying back and forth from side to side. This was the F-18 Hornet that is used by the Navy for flight operations.
The EMD is the test environment and backups that were used during the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase when the plane was originally prototyped with special testing backups to avoid having the plane crash during testing.
Life Without a Spin Chute

The EMD is the test environment and backups that were used during the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase when the plane was originally prototyped with special testing backups to avoid having the plane crash during testing.
Since the test plan involved intentionally putting the aircraft into out-of-control flight, a spin chute was originally considered to mitigate the risk of not returning to controlled flight. The original spin chute from the Hornet EMD days was long gone, and a proposal to adapt the Super Hornet chute used in EMD to the smaller aircraft was considered. That effort although simple in premise involved extensive structural modifications, extensive testing, and shortening of the chute riser length that drove the cost prohibitively high. The mere presence of a spin chute can also have an effect on the data of the flight test. Risks of non-recoverable out-of-control motion were therefore mitigated in other ways during the test program.
An Old Phrase Remembered
What is Going Ape?
We spent most of the day so far in getting books ready for shipping, not a very exciting prospect for you in blog land, but we should photograph the leaning tower of books as they are built up for a dash to get them mailed. Here is the back of something we picked up with an idea to sell on eBay. It is a pairing of an old vinyl 45 and a comic book. It is from somewhere in the early to mid 70s, and it is a movie tie-in to the "Planet of the Apes" movies. This is the back cover of this rather obscure selection, it was put together to perhaps teach the marginally literate, or very young comic reader of that era how to read, or create a more vivid experience with the sound effects as one looked at the dynamic pictures of the captain and his crew as they found themselves lost in a world gone mad.
The written text in the comic book is repeated on the 45 record along with assorted sound effects. We still need to test the 45, we need to get ahold of the turn-table. But the wanted poster below is reminiscent of the Great War when Uncle Sam commanded the civilians with an enthusiastic gesture to join the Armed Forces. This enlarged publicity drawing is apparently to get you in the mood to buy the entire series of "Planet of the Apes" comic book and vinyl sets. (We have two we need to sell, probably as a pair). The younger of you may not know, or maybe you do know, that to "Go Ape" was once a common phrase, as in Go Crazy.
And the actual "street"phrase was truncated for politeness here, there being also a third word hyphenated on at the end in common parlance, there is no Comic Code Authority Seal on the cover of this publication anyway, which means it was border-line for the time. We checked the online dictionaries, and some do give this a vulgarity rating, but now define the phrase as simply getting excited or angry.
As with all slang the origin and true meaning are probably lost, unless there are some old movies or recording of young people talking amongst themselves. It was something to do with suddenly going crazy without reason in the My-Lynx Associates ancient lexicon of the 60's. It could also be used to describe someone acting like an ape, by screaming and carrying on, either for attention-getting, to impress the other members of one's group, or just to liven up an otherwise dull moment of tedium with some pointless noise and frantic activity that may or may not have resembled the antics of an ape. Flailing the arms around in a random manner, would have been a plus.
These are not for sale yet, it is still in evaluation stage, but they will probably go for auction on eBay for someone to read on a rainy day. The condition is not all that great, not collectible as in pristine and untouched, but still a little bit of nostalgia for adults who want to feel like kids again, if they don't mind a few wrinkles.

We spent most of the day so far in getting books ready for shipping, not a very exciting prospect for you in blog land, but we should photograph the leaning tower of books as they are built up for a dash to get them mailed. Here is the back of something we picked up with an idea to sell on eBay. It is a pairing of an old vinyl 45 and a comic book. It is from somewhere in the early to mid 70s, and it is a movie tie-in to the "Planet of the Apes" movies. This is the back cover of this rather obscure selection, it was put together to perhaps teach the marginally literate, or very young comic reader of that era how to read, or create a more vivid experience with the sound effects as one looked at the dynamic pictures of the captain and his crew as they found themselves lost in a world gone mad.
The written text in the comic book is repeated on the 45 record along with assorted sound effects. We still need to test the 45, we need to get ahold of the turn-table. But the wanted poster below is reminiscent of the Great War when Uncle Sam commanded the civilians with an enthusiastic gesture to join the Armed Forces. This enlarged publicity drawing is apparently to get you in the mood to buy the entire series of "Planet of the Apes" comic book and vinyl sets. (We have two we need to sell, probably as a pair). The younger of you may not know, or maybe you do know, that to "Go Ape" was once a common phrase, as in Go Crazy.
And the actual "street"phrase was truncated for politeness here, there being also a third word hyphenated on at the end in common parlance, there is no Comic Code Authority Seal on the cover of this publication anyway, which means it was border-line for the time. We checked the online dictionaries, and some do give this a vulgarity rating, but now define the phrase as simply getting excited or angry.
As with all slang the origin and true meaning are probably lost, unless there are some old movies or recording of young people talking amongst themselves. It was something to do with suddenly going crazy without reason in the My-Lynx Associates ancient lexicon of the 60's. It could also be used to describe someone acting like an ape, by screaming and carrying on, either for attention-getting, to impress the other members of one's group, or just to liven up an otherwise dull moment of tedium with some pointless noise and frantic activity that may or may not have resembled the antics of an ape. Flailing the arms around in a random manner, would have been a plus.

Too busy to write much today.
These are the books that we put up for sale recently - We have more posting now, but they are not visible yet. We want to look at the Learn the Bible in 24 hours, it has a chapter that mentions extraterrestrials, which may be the Nephilim. An unusual way of presenting formerly supernatural creatures as corrupting visitors from another world. I certainly won't forget that.

Flies And Statistics
The Fairly Intelligent Fly
A large spider in an old house built a beautiful web in which to catch flies. Every time a fly landed on the web and was entangled in it the spider devoured him, so that when another fly came along he would think the web was a safe and quiet place in which to rest.
One day a fairly intelligent fly buzzed around above the web so long without lighting that the spider appeared and said, 'Come on down.' But the fly was too clever for him and said, 'I never light where I don't see other flies and I don't see any other flies in your house.' So he flew away until he came to a place where there were a great many other flies. He was about to settle down among them when a bee buzzed up and said, 'Hold it, stupid, that's flypaper. All those flies are trapped.' 'Don't be silly,' said the fly, 'they're dancing.' So he settled down and became stuck to the flypaper with all the other flies.
Moral: There is no safety in numbers, or in anything else.
That is from the opening page, originally written by the humorous writer James Thurber about misuse of statistical numbers.
Then still another funny quote, after the preface of the book "Data Analysis for Politics and Policy" pictured below. (Which is also a clickable link to our website.)
One of our more interesting statistics books, with enough math to make it a serious study book, but enough colorful anecdotes and analysis of everyday situations to make it of some interest to even a casual observer, though it appears to be aimed, to a certain extent to those with a mathematical bent.
The following sentence is probably an old saw, but we have not heard it in may years if it is an old joke, and is probably applicable to many areas of formal study, but we can't but help quoting it from the first page of chapter 1 which introduces the basic concepts with the following aphorism:
Unfortunately, some studies, in the words of one critic, "Use statistics as a drunk uses a street lamp, for support rather than illumination."

Not So Much Time
Sometimes the computer calls the shots, or more accurately, today our customers were calling the shots. The orders came in one right after another, we spent most of our waking hours in preparing orders for books. It was probably our busiest day in months for sales. So we say to our customers: "Thank You" for making our day busy. We have had dull, quiet days.
But we know that while it gives us ample time for deep thoughts and repetitive cogitation on the primary principles of humankind, the universe, matter, spirit, the condensation of ethereal substances, the sublimation of material objects into gaseous aether and so on, the bills for our monthly payments for our blogging efforts demand that we do not just cogitate, rather we must act in a manner that produces an influx of green and black cellulose squares into our coffers.
We spent this evening calculating our incomes, doing some calculations and paying money out to certain financial entities who require periodic payments.
So our creative juices are somewhat less juicy tonight. We have a couple of books with interesting patterns that we would like to elaborate on - here is one, from ancient Mesoamerica based on a floral or corn pattern:

We Were Getting Our Tire Fixed - Learned a new Word
And we talked to some people at the tire store, I learned a new word: Tlacuache, when we checked the dictionary later on, we found it is a Spanish derivative of the indigenous Nahuatl word: tlacuatzin.
It is used in Mexico as a word to describe the animal known on this side of the border as the opossum. We talked about the flavor of armadillos, which used to be much more common in Central Texas, and molé sauce, a Mexican specialty sauce with many, many ingredients, the most outstanding of which is chocolate. We talked about searching for deer in the rural areas of southern Mexico.
And it brought back memories of a far distant evening that I had, sitting in some small village or town named Vallodalid or a village nearby in the far south of Mexico, perhaps in the Yucatan, where a local woman approached me during a sunset dinner I was having at an outdoor restaurant, I remember the meal was some kind of venison, which is what they had available for dinner that night, I think it was deer. The woman asked me if I wanted to by one of her hammocks, which was carefully woven by hand in an intricate pattern of blue and white. I used that hammock for years, and just parted with its recently, because the walls in the places I was staying in have been not much more than cardboard, and far too flimsy to support the heavy weight of a hammock with me lying inside.
But I remember using it for years in the hot weather, in a 20s era building without air conditioning, sort of stretching out horizontally, being cushioned by soft threads of the hammock, and using a small fan under the hammock to cool myself on the 100+ degree hot days. I would pull on a handy rope attached to a nearby pipe to keep rocking back and forth while trying to escape the heat with some self generated breezes.
It made the summer almost bearable with one of those to recline in overnight. And then I walked out of the tire shop and admired the clouds, and I thought long enough to remember to take a cell-phone picture of a tiny portion of the cloud-studded sky. My tire was soon fixed, and I drove off into the setting sun of the afternoon. Not so many books listed today, but the orders kept coming in for most of the morning, so it was still a busy day. No books to sell tonight, just a picture of the sky with little bits of water vapor.

We are resting in the lap of luxury
Well, resting is too strong a word, but we are actually taking a break from wrapping our books for shipping tonight, since tomorrow is a Post Office Holiday, a Federal Holiday in memory of the great expositor of ahimsa, (an ancient Sanskrit word, which we probably will write about soon, you can easily look it up on your search engine), The Rev. Martin Luther King. In the great tradition of the Mahatma, Gandhi, and Henry David Thoreau, he accomplished great things through dignity and restraint and gave us a way of looking at things and people that differed from any that came before.
We could take the books to the Post Office, but we will have to look longingly through the glass windows at the locked mail chute. Nothing pleases us more than to ship a book the same day we get the order.
The place will be sealed up tight. So we will start moving merchandise around tomorrow morning to clear a path to the door, so the cleaning staff can fit a vacuum cleaner through the door. We have books stacked up all over right now, because we are doing two things at once, buying a lot of books, and selling a lot of books at the same time.
Incidentally, here is one of the prizes of our collection, a new acquisition, a booklet put out decades ago probably. It is not for sale just yet, but we will post it tomorrow, if we don't get deluged with orders.
In other words, old readers, new readers and guests, this is a sneak peek at something that is yet to be sold. It is a book that will go into our Texana section - items that are dedicated to the Lone Star state. It is titled simply "The Furbearers of Texas".

We Saw the Statue of Liberty
Or at least we saw someone waving at us with a foam hand. Yesterday it was a young woman, dressed in a bronze green robe, a costume to make her look like Lady Liberty, advertising something for a car insurance office, trying to attract business probably. We drove by the same office today as a mist settled down from the sky and we saw the same green costume, except now attired in a pink rain poncho, with the green robe sticking out of the lower extremities of the poncho. And we looked more closely, and it was not a young lady, but rather a tall young man today, with a goatee, and looking to one side while talking to a nearby friend as he waved his foam rubber hand from the side of the road, while standing the the dripping dampness of a winter day.
And we suddenly realized that this was a travesty of liberty. But it certainly is not something we will soon forget. We are busy with listing books tonight, no time for a long blog, just a few words and a quote about opportunity.
Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day. Benjamin Franklin

Bilbo Baggins at Rest
We have an old book about the Hobbit that is supposed to accompany a 45 RPM vinyl record or cassette tape so children can "read along". But all we have is the somewhat charming book. It is on sale at the My-Lynx Associates store, but now we have two, so we took a look at the newer copy that is slightly better shape. They made a video cartoon of the Hobbit back in the 70s but we never saw it. These look like drawings that probably came from the film / video.
This is a more humble Bilbo, back in the days when he was more like a modified fairy tale and not the beginning of a tale of ultimate good of evil in titanic struggle as many know the Ring books that followed. He is perusing a tome in his bare feet (as we remember the legend, hobbits did not wear shoes) while smoking his trusty pipe with a cauldron cooking in the nearby fireplace.
That is how we like to spend our evenings here at My-Lynx Associates headquarters. We have plans all set out about how we could move into a subterranean home with a circular door that would poke out of a grassy knoll with a few windows on the side to let in the sunlight. We might have a hubbly-bubbly with some bubble juice nearby, but we have forsworn tobacco for the rest of this lifetime, unless it is one of those mist-maker type pipes that the young-folks use. We could use it to inhale some kind of special long-life tonic.
And here is how the story ends: "So the people of Laketown were saved, and the Dwarves regained their home and their treasure. And Bilbo returned to his nice quiet Hobbit hole. Every now and again he would recall his part in the adventure. It had given him bravery, treasure, and a magic ring. Gandalf had been right. Bilbo had had an adventure - one he would never forget."

We are Dizzy With the Warmth
It is spring-fever here at My-Lynx Associates. The temperature bounced up into the 50s today, the pipes did not burst over the frosty weather we had the last few days. So those of you in the frigid climes up north can rest assured that our books are still high and dry, and we even put up a CD in celebration. You can purchase it on our own web site My-Lynx-Associates.com or any of the other fine retailers at the right. The list would be: A1-Books, Amazon, AbeBooks, eBay, Half.com, Biblio, Alibris.
Today's featured selection, just put up for sale is a pair of CDs from Linda Rondstadt that we found a few days ago. She plays with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra and is really a retro look at the Big-Band / Early 50s sound before the Lawrence Welk sound that we are familiar with. We used to look at the bright colors on the Lawrence Welk show and marvel that people wore such vivid clothes. It could be the that Welk or his stylists liked the bright hues for color television, but we did not much care for such a celebration of the optic nerve through our rods and cones. And his arrangements, while very popular, sort of drained the vivacity of the Big Band era out. When we got older we listened to the reissues of the original Big Band's music on CDs and heard many of the originals again, and there was plenty of energy. This CD is a little wry, given Ronstadt's earlier hits, but it is a kind of cross between a lounge act in a smoky Las Vegas bar (you would expect Sammy or Frankie to drop in and sing along with a couple of the numbers), and a cross over to a high-tone Manhattan nightclub sound, depending on the selection.
Who does not like wistful love songs? There are plenty here. Pour yourself a drink, throw in an ice-cube or two, and sit back and listen.
We might part with it if you give it a good home. Maybe some of you are familiar with Philip K. Dick's infatuation with Linda Rondstadt. He had his own pet name for her "Linda Fox'' which he used in his many science fiction stories. Whenever we hear Rondstadt, we get a little spacey thinking about the stories that he wrote about parallel worlds in Southern California, where suburbia went a little crazy and mutated into some kind of strange place where adults would chew on some kind of strange substance and then play with dolls. And imagine themselves in some kind of paradise, driving down the Pacific Coast Highway, listening to Linda Fox's hits on the radio. And then the Chew-Z or whatever it was they were using would wear off, and they would find themselves gasping for air because the air-compressor broke down and they would find themselves back in some broken down dome house next to some run-down canal on the outer colonies of Mars.
