Farewell to the Little Ghost
Aug. 8th, 2003 09:24 pmGood news. The Little White Ghost, faithful servant of a car for six years, has been sold to pay for the Wellsmobile. And yes that's the name for my 2001 Saturn sedan, it came to me when I was shifting the car, which is an automatic, into drive. I thought to myself, "This is like something out of H.G. Wells, two positions "Go" and "Stop". Which isn't literally true, but the name Wellsmobile has stuck in my head since then. Now all I have to do is sell $2500 of stocks and the car is 100% mine.
And I've begun setting up some shelves with the help of my Dad out at my parents' house to store the books I'm thinking seriously about selling. I may end up at least partially in the book business shortly. Hey I could pay for part of my trip to the Isles in 2005 that way, bring back rare books to sell in America.
