Instead it arrived in Albuquerque New Mexico on the 28th and left Albuquerque on the 29th. Have to assume the book is a big fan of Breaking Bad.

Umm some things that have shipped recently are copies of Damage and Dread, The Little Green Book, and Lost and Lonely TPB's. That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's some other stuff too.CD Email: [email protected]

I ordered Triple Shot by Ross Klavan, Tim O’Mara, and Charles Salzberg. The indy bookstore I ordered from is waiting for the three authors to get together-They all live nearby and meet on a regular basis-So they can sign Triple Shot for me. The bookstore owner told me another 3 novella book is coming from these authors in 2021. Tonight I was totally caught by surprise-These authors also did Three Strikes: 3 AUTHORS, 3 NOVELLAS by Ross Klavan, Tim O’Mara and Charles Salzberg (September 2018). I will see about getting Three Strikes too. Wow!
CapBooks are weapons in the war of ideas.

I can see a point where I will no longer be even this active on the internet. The linking of things, targeted ads, and formatting everything with preference to phones and tablets is not my preference. I own a flip phone and hated smart phones. Feels like I am being forced to link everything to google or FB and that I need to have some type of touchscreen to navigate most places anymore. I have no social media accounts other than here and a few other forums.
The tactics feel exclusionary.Looking for the fonting of youth.

Formats, at least to me, have shifted to more of a phone/tablet style scrolling format.

Pretty much all development is fearing the customer experience to touchscreen. I have rarely found that to be to the detriment of keyboard navigation. The pushing you to link to Google or Facebook is a real issue. Not for smaller operations like Cemetery Dance but most larger companies like the additional revenue they get by helping the large data gatherers to gain more data. Even without you logging in via those accounts they are already gathering your information in most cases. Try using any search engine to look for a specific item and look at several options. Then go to any webpage that presents ads. You will find they are now presenting you ads for the products you were searching for. Truth be told most of society looks at this as a plus, they like seeing targeted ads and do not care that there information is being collected, aggregated and sold. Our internet data is a commodity, just not one we see any money from.
