Mornin’, Suzanne! Thanks for mentioning me — I enjoyed reading Ramona’s post.

Ramona, my wife and I are totally on board with your bookstore preferences. Once we had a national chain bookstore a couple miles from our home, perfect for dropping into after work for… y’know, stuff. The chain went belly up, and its replacement sells discount junk and last year’s best sellers. Bleh! And now, with a looming move to smaller quarters (okay, maybe 8–10 years away, but looming) we feel guilty buying books we may have to dump.

And we also understand how the peace of nature can be a siren call to chill rather than a prod to productivity.
