Originally Posted By peeaanuut just get more in stock so they can sell out again. I had to give those 2 copies and I already gave my other copy away, so now I have none for myself and need to get at least 1 more.

Originally Posted By peeaanuut well I went over my pops house and I had brought a copy for him. Well he was working on his friends cobra as I was telling him about it, so his friend was interested. So I went back out to my car and got the other copy for him. I had already read and given my copy to my uncle who was interested as well. So that copy is floating around somewhere as well. So this time I will have to get a fe copies and keep 1 under lock and throw away the key so I dont give it away. lol
Originally Posted By Ursula Well, John. I am just on the chapter about the moving rocks. I am so intrigued by this phenomena (is that right sp? too lazy to look it up). Since the book's publishing, have any other sussgestions been put forth to you? I would imagine that with your book signings, perhaps others have had some ideas for you.

Originally Posted By Ursula We can start a new topic where we discuss John's book and then we can tangent from there? I do love the title of the topic, though. It is sad getting rid of friends.

Last week was a rough one at work (and elsewhere) for a variety of reasons, and LP's been helping me get through it. Looking ahead to meeting some LPers in DL this weekend is especially helping keep me going.

Originally Posted By peeaanuut Oh by the way, I am reading John's Book as well as one by Alex Kava "a perfect evil" (Before I go to bed) and another book about Julius Ceaser(doing the business) All i have to say is it is causing weird dreams. I had one the other night about Ceaser leading a murder investigation in Death Valley.
