GREAT NEWS!
We are collecting used book donations again. Our
new plan to stay in business is the sale of new and used
books on the internet. I know this doesn't sound
revolutionary, but until I could figure a way to put all
our new books online, it seemed hopeless. We are
using Alibris to sell our books. So donate
your gently used books to the store. Clear out
those shelves for more books.
Simple Action, New Earth
This is a new section of the newsletter with actions we
can take to improve the balance of the planet.
Action 10: The bees are disappearing in the United
States. It was on 60 minutes, it's been in the media
for a year. The bee hives on organic farms are
healthy and thriving. When the bees are gone, the
food will be gone. Buy organic every time; no
exceptions. Save the bees, save your future on
the planet. Not so simple, write to congress to ban
the insecticides destroying the bees.
Action 11: Plant organic gardens in your backyard.
The average backyard garden pollutes the environment ten times
more than one acre of commerical agriculture. We
overfertilize and use too much insecticide in our home
gardens. Go organic at home.
See the other simple actions on the website.

Book Reviews
Empire
by Orson Scott Card
$7.99
This is different from the usual books I
recommend. Even though this is a science fiction book,
it tells about the polorized forces in America today that
leads us into another civil war. The book points out
that America is much more divided now than before the last
civil war. It is a good read and lets us know what the
twenty year olds are reading.

Original Story
Aphrodite Revisited
by Judith Bakkensen
Aphrodite looked at the old woman from
behind her mother.
The old woman said, "You watch that child like
a hawk. She is too good looking and there are so many
perverts out there. And especially don't trust your
relatives."
The wise woman said, "What a beautiful
daughter, we will all watch over her and keep her safe."
Aphrodite was doing the dishes.
The woman in the next room said, "I'll bet
your daughter drives the boys crazy with those eyes."
The wise woman in the next room said, "How
wonderful that Aphrodite helps out so much around the house."
Aphrodite was in college.
The jock said, "Why are you with that ugly loser when
you could be with me."
The young man said, "Aphrodite, who is your
friend?"
The drunk uncle said, "I see the different
cars of all your boyfriends in front of your apartment," as
he fondled her breasts.
The kind uncle said, "I see you are dating, if
you need any help or advice, I live right around the corner."
Aphrodite was getting married.
The groom said, "Who are these guys, I don't
like them looking at you."
The love of her life said, "You look beautiful
today."
Aphrodite was at work.
The guy at the copier said, "I watch you all
the time. I don't care if you are married. I want you."
The friend at work said, "I really enjoy
working with you. You are a great asset to our work
environment."
Aphrodite was talking with her manager.
The manager said, "Do you really want to turn
him in for harrassment, think of his wife."
The truly wonderful boss said, "You've got to
be kidding, he will be gone within the hour. You'll never
have to deal with him again."
Aphrodite got a big promotion.
The co-worker said, "With her looks, she'll
always get ahead."
The collegue said, "I'm so happy for
you, you've worked so hard and really deserve it. Let's go
celebrate."
Aphrodite was pregnant.
The husband said, "This is the worst day of my
life, now you'll get fat."
The love of her life said, "This is the
best day of my life, I love you so much."
When Aphrodite became an elder.
Aphrodite met a beautiful young girl.
"Hello, my name is Aphrodite, what's yours."
