The palate cleanser

Do not open before July 21!

Unoriginal I know, but I needed to get that last book cleared out of my head. This may not be a great book either, though I'm sure it will meet my expectations. Maybe that was the problem with the last book. My expectation of "not suck" was totally unrealistic.

We hadn't really been planning to get the new Harry Potter. Then we were in Target to stock up on kitty litter and we saw how they had tons of copies (only $17.99). Someone had been called away from replenishing the stock and left the "Do not open before July 21!" box just sitting there. Oz pulled out the cellphone to take pictures of it, much to the amusement of the surrounding shoppers, and somehow the book ended up in our cart.

I'm on page 470.

Ok, I cannot find an email address for you. I'm looking to create a painting that is primarily focused on the Lucky Strike logo. I saw your "ghost sign" photo of the logo, and thought it perfect to work from when creating my painting. Do you have a high-res version of this photo that you could email me? If so, that would be fantastic. super fantastic. robbmajor (at) gmail (dot) com

thanks!

Well, the short answer is "no". The original file of the Lucky Strike photo is not much larger than the image I posted. I was shooting fairly small images back then. Thank you for your interest, however.
