<< he first find was _Meteor Science and Engineering_, the famed source book
for meteor astronomy from the 1960s by D.W.R. McKinley. After gloating over
this catch for a minute or so, my eyes strayed to the next shelf - and
found a paperback edition of Leslie C. Peltier's poetic _Starlight Nights:
Adventures of a Star-Gazer_! After scooping up a third item (Longstreth's
_Understanding the Weather_), I checked out. Total cost: $12.25.

Ah yes, the Peltier book is very good - but with all the different
"bookstores.com" city living is growing less and less a neccessity. Work from
home ('cept me), shop from home ... I wonder if progess intended for people
to never leave the house again.
