"More than 24" golf courses in Central Oregon. (Bulletin, 8/30/11).
Five bookstores.
24 versus 5
Says a lot about our values. And our politics. And our economy.

"Hasta la vegan..." Linda said. "No, wait....that isn't right...."
"Yes, it is! It is totally right. Arnold hates vegetarians. Hasta la vegan, baby. Blam!"
You probably had to be there...

The Bulletin editorializes that "parents shouldn't speculate" about the Redmond principal's suspension.
But the paper then proceeds to have two front page articles doing exactly that.

After deleting a large book order last week, I've had a couple of slow days. Which is like a warning to me that we are headed into the fall season and watch out. So I'm going to be extra conservative in my spending over the next couple weeks. (Isn't that what causes recessions....?)

President Chaney has released a book.

10.00 coffee? Time to wean myself from caffeine again...

I have a kind of routine browsing the net in the morning.
First I check the new sites to see if the world ended overnight. USA Today, Huffington Post, KTVZ, etc. (This is just a quick check, later in the day I read some articles.)
Then I check my e-mail and the local blogs through Bend Blogs.
Then I go to sites that are related to my business -- Diamond Comics, Comics Reporter, The Beat, Shelf Awareness, ICv2, Comic Book Industry Alliance, etc.
Then a quick check of the pop culture sites; Flavorwire, Rotten Tomatoes, Salon, Slate. (Again, I go back throughout the day to read articles.)
And finally, when I'm sufficiently awake, I read the economic blogs: Naked Capitalism, Big Picture, and Calculated Risk. Mostly, the first two; sometimes a bunch of other less favorite.
Meanwhile, during all this, I'm drinking four or five cups of coffee (that's it for the day) and reading The Bulletin, and composing this blog.
I don't actually go looking for new sites, but occasionally will drop or add a favorite.
Now you know everything there is to know about me.
