I guess it's a bookstore, but again there was no sign.

    That Harry Potter book looks out of place with all those older-looking faded books.

    Dammit-Matt, where exactly is that bookstore? I would probably kill for some of those books-or at least offer great amounts of money which I do not have and would have to put on my credit card-

    you keep an eye out for “Travels With Charlie” by John Steinbeck, and “Blue Highways” by William Least Heat Moon.
    I’ll watch for “America @ 3MPH” by Matt Green

    I had to go to Flickr to read some of the titles – one intrigued me enough to google:

    Matt – you should really check out that LINK: I’m going to try copy and paste:

    There are Men Too Gentle to Live Among Wolves

    There are men too gentle to live among wolves
    Who prey upon them with IBM eyes
    And sell their hearts and guts for martinis at noon.
    There are men too gentle for a savage world
    Who dream instead of snow and children and Halloween
    And wonder if the leaves will change their color soon.

    There are men too gentle to live among wolves
    Who anoint them for burial with greedy claws
    And murder them for a merchant’s profit and gain.
    There are men too gentle for a corporate world
    Who dream instead of candied apples and ferris wheels
    And pause to hear the distant whistle of a train.

    There are men too gentle to live among wolves
    Who devour them with eager appetite and search
    For other men to prey upon and suck their childhood dry.
    There are men too gentle for an accountant’s world
    Who dream instead of Easter eggs and fragrant grass
    And search for beauty in the mystery of the sky.

    There are men too gentle to live among wolves
    Who toss them like a lost and wounded dove.
    Such gentle men are lonely in a merchant’s world,
    Unless they have a gentle one to love.

    Back to the Poetry of an Engineer.

    I thought that poem kind of fit your “I’m Just Walkin'” theme/reasoning….. P.S. STILL trying to catch up to your current day’s blogging. Laundry and Housework – are being neglected…. :)
