Call me naive,
but if someone walks in or is rolled in screaming in pain
that is verified by objective analysis,
I don 't see him being hurled out the door.

Well, first, Powell's - did you get there?

then the place in Long Beach, CA - something about a Thousand.

Marlow's in Santa Monica, what low lifes, I loved it. To get to the bathroom you had to pass porn.. Some of my favorite books are from there, early italian stuff, plus old crime thriller paperbacks.

An antiquarian place in San Francisco, way above my purview

The Michelangelo library in Firenze

Where an olden abuzzer posted, Touissant? in Paris. She was so smart on books...

The early Hennessey & Ingalls re architecture et al.

Rizzoli, in New York, I just walked past it, just as well. I could not have not bought something.

The library that was closed in the Palazzo Pilato in in Parma - re Bondoni.

@Rockhead,

Agree with blue and rockhead.

Wait. Maybe or maybe not this will help.
I'm signed up at UNM re my eyes and breast cancer. They tossed me re bc (you're over it, honey, in better syncopated words) but are very interested in my eyes, and well they should be, she chortles.

I might be able to sign up for the hearing clinic, dunno.

They have many other clinics. Blue, have you checked all that?

So, not to get off of New York.

Anyone see the William White take on New York? very big in design circles.

Here's the book - http://www.amazon.com/Social-Life-Small-Urban-Spaces/dp/097063241X

F0rmative book. (Oh, look, mine is worth 35.00)

Truthfully, I might not look at Seagram's plaza except re that book. I liked William White and that book.

I'm not committed to the plaza.

If there's any book I'd buy in New York it's the one I gave away all twisted with reading,

Jane Jacobs has been railed again since then and some of the railers are right, or seem so.

An mri will confirm 100% but i don't have 1000.00 to spare. I'll tough it out.
I don 't know much about it, but maybe a hospital Emergency Room will help u out; coud be possible to take it from there.
I 'd consider it. Maybe there is a hospital Ombudsman ?

Yeah; 2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968, as I remember.
David Bowman was carrying the inert body of his friend, Frank ( ? )

I saw the movie and read the book (came out after the movie); I loved it.

As a matter of fact, my friend, Don, has defective eyesight: legally blind.
I read him the whole book out loud.

I bought that movie when it came out on videotape; love it.

I remember that it was only one year later, July of 1960
that I stayed home from work and watched the Moon Landing on TV with my Mom,
Blast Off and Landing.

That was a Big Thrill.
