  For some bizarre reason they've decided to include an individual named "Horatio" in their list, which, as we all know, is the name of my small relative, despite the dogged insistence of her parents to the otherwise.

• It's *finally* turned cool here...

  Lows in the 30's right now, even though it was 93 degrees five days ago. This is our third consecutive day that it hasn't reached 80.  I wish it could be winter all of the time.

• Another day and three more atlases.

  Oct 22, 2005 12:50AM
  One from 1958 (cost me 99 cents!) one from 1944, and one from 1909.  I promise that I'll quit with the posts about atlases now. 
  
  Also pushed a new website into production today,  and that was a bit stressful, but it all came together so "all's well that ends well" as they say.

• 'Nother atlas...

  This is a super-sweet one, from 1914.  I can't wait for it to get here!  :-)
  
  I know, I know...These daily updates about my book shopping are getting old for you, and you're bored.  If I had anything else to say, I would.  Maybe I will soon.  You can always hope.

• Slow day on EBay today.

  Didn't win much.  Got Gray's Anatomy from 1949 for nine bucks.  Lost a couple of auctions.  Nothing I had my heart set on, though the 2 volume set: The Military History of Ulysses S. Grant, published in 1881 would have been nice.   I didn't feel like getting into a bidding war on it though, so I let it go when the price went too high.  Maybe another day.
