FREE E-Books. Soap. Boat!

From Project Gutenberg, the first producer of free electronic books (ebooks).

Why are these books free?

“Copyright for most of these books has expired in the United States. (They may still be copyrighted in other countries). So anybody may make verbatim or non-verbatim copies of those works.

We carry high quality items: Our books were previously published on paper by bona fide publishers and digitized by us with the help of thousands of volunteers.
All our ebooks can be easily downloaded: Choose between ePub, Mobipocket, HTML and simple text formats.
No fee or registration is required, but if you find Project Gutenberg useful, we kindly ask you to donate a small amount so we can buy and digitize more books.”    From: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

Now, I don’t know anything about E-books, so I don’t know if these books work with a Kindle.

Does Antibacterial Soap Work Better Than Regular Soap?

“Ordinary soap appears to do just as good a job at fighting colds as antibacterial soap, and for less money.

Washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water is one of the simplest ways to prevent colds from spreading. But does antibacterial soap work any better than plain soap in fighting infections? Not according to a study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “

Preventing Colds: All Washed Up.


Cons of Using Antibacterial Soap
Kills both good and bad bacteria, which may make antibiotics ineffective against new strains of bacteria. 
Can give consumers a false sense of security by creating a relaxed attitude toward good hygiene .   
Costs more than regular soap “

It was about time to go into the next town to get things that are not available here.  Jay needed to go too, so off we went.  We went straight to his bank so that he could get some cash and pay a bill.  It is next to a Krogers, so I always wander around there while I am waiting for him.  I picked up some bargains of seafood, meat, cheese, bread, etc. 
I was glad that I keep the 12v. cooler in the van, as I had to go by my doctor’s office to pick up some samples of a cholesterol medicine he wants me to try.
Jay wanted to try the chicken-fried fish at Church's, so that is what he got.  I took some of the breading off it, and tried the fish, and it was alright.

We did stop at a resale shop in our home town, and I bought a very sturdy heavy canvas fanny pack for the few tools that I carry around here, $1, and a set of heavy duty plastic cutlery, 75c, for a camper.

No looking at thrift shops, no Walmarting, we just wanted to come home, it wasn’t cold, but it was a dreary, rainy, umbrella day today.
