Monday Night And We Are Selling Books, Looking Out the Window
We spent most of the day on administrative details of running our vast world headquarters, located in the hills north of the state capital here in Texas. There was a gentle drizzle today, just a little mist to set the windshield wipers on the intermittent setting. Spring is visible in the form of flower buds on the local trees, they don't have leaves just yet, it was snowing only about 10 days ago, but the warmth is closing in, and the first signs of a Southern Spring are in the air.
Hail to you in the Northern Climes, places like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, North Dakota and so on, we are reporting that things are already well on their way in the South-Land. The Spring Equinox is just a short time away. We are just starting to see some bugs in the air, as they emerge from their dormancy. And lo and behold! We were awakened on Saturday and Sunday by the soft cooing of doves at daybreak. That is the surest sign. We don't know where they go the rest of the year, they roost in the trees most of the time, and they are hard to see, but they can be heard joining in calls of united contentment from street to street, hilltop to hilltop. One will drop off in cooing, and another will pick up the note. They will be busy until at least mid-July, growing more common and dare we say: Noisy? They are really coos, not really intense, but they are noticeable in the early quiet moments of dawn.
The forecast was for thunderstorms today, and we could see them on the weather radar which is provided for people who need to know such things, which in these parts is nearly everyone. The storms passed by to the North, close enough so that the AM radio was crackling with the static that thunderstorms bring. But we just got the slow drizzle all day, no dramatic thunderheads, which would otherwise cause us to run to the electrical outlets to unplug our network of electronics and computers.
And we have been stacking up new books, and depending on business conditions, they will be visible the next several days. Here are a few additions to our stock, available on My-Lynx-Associates.com, eBay, Amazon, AbeBooks, Alibris, and the other fine booksellers listed to your right on the buttons we have provided for you to click on.
