So, the mini taperecorder that I got Laura for the interviews, and got my car rear-ended for my effort, is now gone. Stolen by some worthless bastard right after she completed her first author interview with it. She’d gone back to her office, realized it wasn’t on her and was probably still left on the cafe table, but when she got back, it was gone.
The entire staff scowered the store looking for it, but there was no luck to be had. Laura called the author to see if perhaps she had mistakenly taken it with her, but she called last night to say she had not.
Congratulations go out to whoever took it. Way to benefit society and uplift your fellow man, scumbag.
In other news, it was a productive weekend. Many weeds were massacred to make way for… well, we have less weeds now. And we installed a lattice on the side of the porch for the roses to climb. It looks quite nice, if I don’t say so myself.
