ohhh, my favorite book..I almost forgot..In a hard case is my find...On the spine you see Voltaire..........then Candide then a sketch of a lady if puffy dress and hair piled on her head..at the bottom it says editions du demi-jour

on the front is a goofy looking guy cartoon type character.

says Voltaire............Candide then Dessine En Couleurs De Dubout.

it's wrapped in a clear plastic cover..Its in perfect condition..the pages are a little yellowed...but...it's all in french.none of the pages are the same size...there are the most terrific sketches inside...gorillas chasing naked women.pirates on a ship with a naked woman blowing a horn It's fantastic..I love it..don't have a clue what it says, but maybe I have a copy of Candide in English..hmmm, I think I do..will have to find it.

But the sketches are worth the $2 if nothing else..Dang..I did good..

Oh and just in case you didn't understand what happened to the Dallas Training Center, here is what I found in my DAM News...they explain it well...

I'm off..need to start dinner..going to have sausage and cabbage..Babs and I went to town today and since we didn't piss anyone off or get thrown out of a store, we consider the day a wash..But we did go to the Gerik's Smokehouse Bakery and got bags of day old kolaches for $2...holy shit..what a deal.

We decided since we ate so many kolaches and sausage that maybe we WERE Czech..so we're changing our last name..I'm going to be Jacque Denenesky and she will be Barbara Wilsonic..hahaha...gonna be 90 tomorrow..will have to crank up the AC..sigh*
