www.my-lynx-associates.comWe hail from Central Texas, and right now we are in the midst of what the weathercasters are calling an "exceptional drought". So we scan the clouds for any trace of rain. And we listen to our only copy, virtually the only one on the Internet as far as we can tell with a live version of "Both Sides" about clouds that get in the way. You can find it on the rare edition of "The Neil Diamond Collection" on CD in the extended list below. It has a soulful rendition of Both Sides Now which includes the Joni Mitchell words:
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides nowFrom up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at allApparently this song has become a veritable anthem for anyone interested in cloud-computing as well.
Our tongues are hanging out of our mouths, panting like a furry canine companion as we watch day after day of hot, dry weather. Even the dogs want to stay inside where it is cool, close to the linoleum. Whenever a dog comes over to the My-Lynx Associates World Headquarters for a visit we leap into action. We supply the cool water and the shade as hospitality, but we have too many books to list to keep a full-time watchdog and we don't like the way dogs treat the books, so we need to keep them separate, at least until we make enough sales and monthly revenue to keep him or her in kibble and give them their own separate air-conditioned dog house. We are still thinking rather about a trained goldfish or two to keep an eye on the books.
Anyway, today is a 104 degree day out in the sunshine, so we stay indoors and read books on the weekend. And then we list them for sale. And then we read some more, and list some more, we have close to a thousand for sale. And if you are in the Northeast, we know you folks are getting a lot of dreary weather that is keeping you indoors, sort of damp, cool and rainy. They are talking about the coolest July in the upper Midwest as well. We are dreaming of cool weather like that, but if you are stuck indoors, getting claustrophobia, consider the book. A book can transform ordinary cabin fever into a magical land of enchantment. Here is something to consider: if it is hot and temperatures in the hundreds, is that reverse cabin fever? Or is reverse cabin fever wanting to get into the cabin, not out of the cabin?
Anyway we still have hundreds of books. This is a blog listing of our available inventory at the My-Lynx Associates On-Line Book Store. No going out in the heat to get our books, the trusty Postal Service will brave the heat in their itchy wool shorts to bring you the best of out-of-print, rare, obscure and sometimes just plain strange books. How about a "Short History of Nepal"? We have a rare copy, perhaps the only copy outside of the dusty back streets of Kathmandu.
Want to learn the Moroccan dialect of Arabic? We have the book, with a supplement on Berber in case you need to become a real Nomad. Not the old MP3 player or the killer Star Trek robot machine, but rather the roaming people who live on the move in the Sahara! That would be: "Lonely Planet Moroccan Arabic Phrasebook", an out-of-print edition. And if you need to brush up on your French, their are some Francophone phrases in the book as well, for you old yearning-for-the-old-days Casbah types.
