What One Does When There's Nothing To Do.......




Being that rain fell in Goodyear, Arizona yesterday (No kidding), canceling the Indians' spring training game, I grabbed a camera and headed for places unknown, on another gray day in northeast Ohio.  
29 miles and 1056 feet later, I came upon, "The Bomb Shelter." (No kidding again)
Being such a shy guy, I poked my head into the office and asked permission to shoot some photos.  When I said that I don't charge a cent, Kevin's face morphed into what resembled the beaming Strip, in Vegas!  Seriously, he welcomed the request and said others have done the same.  Off I browsed and I welcome you to share that visit by clicking the site below.  Once there, you can enlarge any photo by placing the cursor on it and clicking.

By the way, Kevin and gang were the nicest!!!

Saved from wallowing in boredome!

To Collect a Rare Book

Many people compile words into great readings and we call them books! Over the years, I've managed(?) to amass a small collection of them. When a person decides to down-size, that person makes a list and presents an opportunity for others to own these that are becoming more difficult to find. I will gladly send a copy of the list to anyone interested. The list includes, but is not limited to the likes of: Stephen Foster, Chas. Dickens, Bronte, Victor Hugo, Melville, Noyes, Wells, De Maupassant, O. Henry, Cooper, Grey, Dumas, Steinbeck, Kipling, Austen, Poe and Gann. Copyright dates range from 1881-1962 and there are some that do not show a date. Some have dust jackets, some are 1st issue and 1 or 2 are signed. Quality ranges anywhere from quite nice to "Who did this?" I think I saved a few from the dumpster, even though they'll never get into the Smithsonian. Please contact me at the alternate of bbobjay@ameritech.net. Happy reading!
