Had a drive up to Cincinnati today, to seel some books at Half-price...mostly crap that didn't get culled from the library before I moved...two boxes for which I got a grand total of fourteen dollars, but Half-Price, before it became a nationwide chain of used bookstores, was my used bookstore in Dallas when I lived there years ago...so it was like revisiting an old haunt. The Cincy store isn't as extensive has the main one in Dallas, but I managed to pick up a few things. Then I went down the street to a Trader Joe's, which is now a chain based in California, and where The Lovely Wife and I used to do much of our shopping. They don't have a lot of favourites that the LA stores carry and their wines are a buck or two higher on average, but I still managed to walk out with $200 dollars of groceries and booze.
