eBooks

Is anyone out there? If you are, can someone tell me why eBooks are so fracking expensive? They don't have to print them, just send an electronic copy to my computer. They are cutting out 9/10 of the middleman, but still charging basically the same price for the electronic version of books that have gone to baperback already. Does anyone know where I can go to get ebooks at a cheaper price? Drop me a line...

Especially if you know about an electronic copy of "Magician: Master" by Raymond E. Feist

Silly me

Yesterday I purposely gave myself a sunburn. I spent 5.5 hours mowing the lawn shirtless. On purpose. I am hurting right now. Paying for my folly. at night it is all I can do to get 2 or 3 hours of sleep. Not to mention the fact that my arms felt like they were on fire (not of the sunburn kind). I had a large calcium build up from my wrists all the way to my pecs. How does this happen while mowing the lawn? I am in Southern Louisiana, and the lawn had not been cut for 3 or 4 weeks. it was like cutting down a jungle with a machete. already, I look out at the grass, and it is growing again. I am going to have to redo it on Saturday. I don't know how I am supposed to mow it twice a week, if it rains every day right before I get home from work...

If I could get home during lunch, i could call mowing the lawn a "sports lunch" but that might look suspicious. Well, that's out, anyway, as Eireen drives the car to Houma every day for work...

All because the guy who had the job slacked for 3 weeks...
