May 1st

Weather: cold and damp
Amount spent: $10.05
Comments: We put in a fairly long day and went to all the advertised sales from the paper + Craigs List (except repeats) + a few we found along the way. Whew! And I was so late in logging the cuuh that no cats were interested in helping!

• good sized piece of heavy muslin--25 cents
• bar glass with drink recipes--20 cents
• 3 glass (small one is crystal) bowls--$2.50/all
• mini USB wireless adaptor--$5
• softcover, Arkansas River Guide (whitewater rafting)--20 cents
• box of Japanese prints on note cards--$1
• 2 pcs fusible webbing--30 cents/both
• softcover, Guide to the Rio Grande (whitewater rafting)--20 cents
• softcover, Rock Climbing, Mastering the Basic Skills--20 cents
• softcover, Bill Bryson's *A Short History of Everything--20 cents

NOTE: I have no plans to take up either whitewater rafting or rock climbing, I bought the books about these pursuits because they are interesting and the price was right. For some time now I have been collecting books of "useful information" on a wide variety of topics and these books are destined for that collection. As for the Bill Bryson book, I've been a big fan of his for a long time, and was delighted to find this book, which I haven't yet read.
