What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
For the record, I searched twice, and there’s no marginalia anywhere. No indication for what the fuck this key is even supposed to open. Maybe the name “Kennedy” on the key, which, if this is the owner’s name, narrows it down to about 200,000 people nationwide.

You might need to check out one of those online communities that self-identify as internet detectives, where they collectively help in the search.

Keep the key and return the butchered book. I am reminded of a book I bought about 20 years ago, where about 30 pages were repeated, with the correct pages gone. One of the cashiers tried to con me into keeping it as a rare book. Yeah, I don't think so.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Kennedy is the manufacturer.

Just curious, what book is it?

My wife surprised me with an early surprise birthday dinner with most of our friends here. We took Uber and were offered a ride home. It rained heavily during dinner, which caused the main road heading home to flood. We were caught in it, fortunately nothing really bad came of it but the car did stall and we got stuck and walked the rest of the way home. I wouldn't have gone that way personally.

The book is Jim Harrison’s The Road Home, Raven.

And talking it over with Dad, the key looks like it opens a tool chest, but it’s otherwise an extremely common key. Plan for tomorrow: bring it back to Half-Price Books, and ask for A) a refund, and B) the name of who brought it in. I know that B is a slim chance, but it’s worth a shot.

Indubitably.

So, I returned the book, kept the key, and, as I suspected, HPB does not keep records of who brings in what book, so the trail's stopped cold. At least I got a refund for it. And I bought the new Blu-Ray of Orson Welles' version of The Scottish Play.

Trying to figure out what to pack for this trip. It's still pretty warm here but the night I arrive in Wisconsin the temps there are to be in the 40s. Figuring out how to pack for temps ranging from 40 to 90. And it's not like I have a lot of things to wear for those 40 degree temps. I guess there will be a lot of layering going on...I will add layers as I head north and remove on the way back.
