Island Books
This is definitely something I would do. I surround myself with whatever I can find (of any given interest)… to the point of checking out every single book there is on that subject. (I woulda brought a book bag or back pack though).

My mother taught me this. Every time we went to the library, she would take a large cardboard box to fill with books. Two weeks later we’d return and repeat. The librarians were always astonished that she read every one. I’m a lot like that, except I don’t read them through. I blame her for my ADD.
See, this is why we limit to 3 books per subject at a time at our library. 🙂
Strange, just yesterday, Randie was looking, with a devilish grin no less, to quaff a Mai Tai so as to get into an “island state of mind,” before commencing her painting.
Stranger still, there seems to be a public library out there in “Marina Beach” that is either next door to, or a short walking distance from the new tiki bar & lounge.
Ha. I wonder if it was the books or Randall’s Mai Tai breath that gaveaway her hawaiian “island mode?”
Great “reveal” in the last frame. I love off camera comedy. Nicely done.
EofO: Boxes work well, too… not as easy to carry on your back though.
McDuff… Awwww, that’s a drag… but makes sense.
stick… this wouldn’t be the Marina Beach Library… this would be her own Cypress City Library… presumably after Spill dropped her home.
Jack… tanks… I do try. Ps. Congrats on getting into Stumptown.
*heh* I try to NOT think of books and Hawaii…
Bethlynne and I went to Hawaii on our honeymoon. (This was before we had any idea we’d be living in Hawaii withing a year.) We’d no sooner gotten there than I got very sick; a rare thing for me, who gets sick maybe once every two years. They gave me the wrong medicine in Maui, so I stayed sick for the first week. Then they gave me the right medicine in Kauai, but it required me to stay out of the sun and wind and water for nearly the entire second week.
The upshot was that we spent a lot of times in used book stores, picking up ratty paperbacks for me to read while my new bride enjoyed the beauty of Hawaii pretty much alone. Throw in an only so-so luau and a limited budget and… well, it sure was nice when the company moved us to Oahu the following year.
Does that “READ” poster show Kermit the Frog or a Sleestak?
I thinking that’s a fish on the “READ” poster. They travel in schools, dontchaknow?
Pete… Oh, no… that is level 4 fun (which only makes for a good story later!)… but I like how things turned out in the end… meaning you got to call Hawaii home. But if you’re gonna be ill… why not in one of the prettiest places around? It’s like my commute when I was working… yah, I had a long commute… but it was thru a bird sanctuary and it paralleled the ocean… better than any commute in LA!
Dada… you got it… you Kermit freak you!
stick… sorry… it’s a muppet.
Now just imagine me waving my arms like crazy: “YAAAAAAAAAAY!”
