Bummer about the lady out front. Some restaurants and such do that around here. They ask people to leave if they are dirty, or foul smelling. I'm not saying it is ever right, but a lot of the homeless should be in a mental institution. There was a mother daughter team who road the bus, along a busy street blvd, here. They would push people, scream at them for money and when the bus driver would finally try to kick them off the mother would lift her skirt, pee and poo in the bus. The police would come, send them to the lock-up mental ward and then the hospital would release them back onto the street within 24 hr. One department passing the buck to another. The mother obviously needed help and yet the city would just push it on down the line..

I have bought books at garage sales for years. If someone has tons of them, they will sell them really cheap. Some as cheap as .25 cents. I've bought top sellers and older research books.. If you get a chance to drive by one and you see books, stop :-)

PS I didn't know dollar tree sold books.. ???

I went to Dollar Tree this morning. I gave a pair of homeless
: some alms. The lady mentioned food, I commented they had
: food in Dollar Tree, and the lady said they wouldn't let
: her in the store.

: This seemed to be a coherent individual, and not one of those
: destroyed nutters whose minds were beyond our galaxy. What

: the Hell? Do they not allow the obviously homeless into
: their store these days, or what?

: I'll have to ask the clerk the next time I go. Also,
: everything now costs $1.25. It could be worse. And dammit,
: they didn't get their monthly book shipment yet.

: Oh well. I guess as soon as I get done with my last hard copy,
: I'll reread The Chronicles of Narnia for the third time. (I
: don't like reading books on line, but it beats payin' full
: retail on a part time dishwasher salary.)
