That (and the sale of my house) helped put both daughters throuogh college. My collection of 5000 comics was sold 17 years earlier to pay for the birth of my oldest daughter.<br /><br />Now that we are in a smaller house, what books I have left fill a storage shed in the back yard. Usually when I finish a book nowadays, it either is sold, traded, or given away. Even with that, the shed is busting at the seams. **sigh**Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-63252562880440896022012-05-03T10:08:17.174-04:002012-05-03T10:08:17.174-04:00So far, a smaller bump than new posts usually get-...So far, a smaller bump than new posts usually get--go figure (or, even with hers...Emshwillers a bigger draw here!). And, thanks...though the New Blogger typefaces are a bit harder to read than I'd like, and Blogger still refuses to play well with browsers...what makes for less ridiculous amounts of white space in IE turns out to obscure the text in Chrome, while looking just fine in Firefox, in which it was composed. In Safari, it's all in Cyrillic, no doubt (I don't have that to check and revise in, as yet).Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-1326425079981769852012-05-03T07:15:54.298-04:002012-05-03T07:15:54.298-04:00Nice pix -- should boost your page views, too.
