Found Treasure

..... And sometimes you're having an incredibly shitty day, then in the evening, you walk .... (stumble actually because I was exhausted from the shitty day and shouldn't even have left home) .... into the little "Friends Store" inside the public library, selling books and music at a huge discount and there's a treasure there that wasn't on the shelf four or five days ago ..... a hardcover edition in very good shape of Jim Harrison's book of poems, Songs of Unreason. I just had to snatch that up. Had I been without financial means, I likely would have stashed it in another section/genre, behind the tallest books I could find. Or quite possibly pleaded with a total stranger to purchase it for me. This is why you have to come back to these sorts of places often ..... because the inventory changes daily and if another poetry and word loving dork making the rounds gets there before me, then I miss out on adding serious quality to my collection.

So the grade AAA shitty day has a happy ending after-all.
