Mr. Zip

If it wasn’t for the fact that today was my bi-annual dental visit for a teeth cleaning, I would barely have anything to write about. Look Ma! No cavities.

Well, anything new to write about. I’ve got the usual. I added captions to the new Post Office photos.

We went out to eat lunch. The Emperor meets the King. A junior Whopper w/o mayo for each and we split a 6 pack of Cheesy Tots and a small Sprite.

I’ve finished another Spenser book. Promised Land:

Pam Shepard said, “No. Rose, believe me, you can trust him. He is not dishonest.”

“Pam, almost everyone’s dishonest. He’s as dishonest as everyone else. I don’t want to do business with him.”

“That’s dumb,” I said. “It’s the kind of dumb smart people get because they think they’re smart.”

“What the hell does that mean?” Jane said.

“It means that if everyone’s dishonest you aren’t going to do better elsewhere. And the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know. I got one character witness. Where you going to find a gun that has that many.”

I’m kind of kicking myself. In the last Spenser book he said mentioned something like, Spenser’s Crimestoppers Tip #X, “Blah, blah, blah…” I didn’t write it down at the time and when I thought that maybe I should copy them down into a web page or something, I couldn’t find it in the book again without reading all over. No loss I figured, somebody on the big wide internet must have already done it. Turns out, nobody has. I searched. I even looked over at Bullets and Beer with no luck. So what do I do? Go back and read the book? Just wait until the next time I run across a crimestopper tip? Life is full of hard choices.
