This morning, I indulged myself by going to the Bookman's on Grant/Campbell clearance sale. One dollar for paperbacks, two $ for hardbacks, one dollar for DVDs. I managed to restrain myself a little, and only grabbed a manageable stack of books.
But the Bookman's folks had underestimated how many cheapskate bibliophiles Tucson harbored. There were only four people on the sales counter, so the line to pay slinked all around the sales floor and out the door.

Yep, they let me leave the place pushing an office chair (serving me as a shopping cart) piled high with books, so I could join the end of the line outside the store. I could just have walked to my van and left. But, Boy Scout that I am, I didn't. Neither did anyone else that I could see. Seems the majority of people are honest. That cheered me up, seeing I wasn't the only one.
So I waited in line for over two hours. Read a book to pass the time. Seemed fitting.
