Some of the
most expensive books ever sold at auction are... First Folio:
This book, a collection of William Shakespeare's plays, was published after
his death in 1623. Seven hundred and fifty copies were published, but only 228
survived. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen purchased a copy for around $6.1
million in 2001. The Canterbury
Tales: There are only 12 known first edition copies left since its publishing
in 1477, and only one is in a private collection. The book was originally
purchased in 1776 and not sold again until 1998 with a purchase price of $7.5
million by Christie's of London. |
My Sometimes-Long-Winded
Thoughts

In my
brain, I planned to get my flu shot today. I call my PCP and got voice mail.
I tried several times until 10am. I gave up and headed out to pick up a
script. When I got to Walgreens, I was going to get my flu shot. One lady in
front of me took a very long time, but when I finally got up I picked up the
script and added I needed a flu shot. He asked if I had an appointment. I
said I’ve never needed on before. He said now you go online and set up an
appointment. Before leaving the parking lot, I called my PCP, still just voice
mail. When I got home, I went online to make the dumb appointment. After
entering my DOB, I get the message ‘This site is currently down, please try
again. I tried again about 15 minutes later and got the same message. I guess
today is not the day for a flu shot. Movies
are an escape from reality. The shooting on the set of a movie is horrifying.
It is getting worse every day. More and more information is coming out. The
Union in charge of preparing the gun has been threating to strike over work
conditions. The day of the shooting it now looks like it was a non-Union
worker in charge of the gun. This tragedy should not have happened. It looks
to me like with today’s technology; no real gun should ever be on the movie
set. It can be added later through technology. |
