Inspired by Flickr's "Project 365" and my friend Kathy, I will attempt to post one picture per day for a year starting August 1st 2007. Sometimes the pictures will be artistic, sometimes they will be things that were important to me on that day and other times they will just be pictures of things I thought were funny. I am sure a lot of poorly shot, poorly composed photos will be taken, but hopefully so will one or two great ones.

#027 Green Apple


070827-2, originally uploaded by AXO - 365.

Green Apple Books is an amazing used bookstore in our neighborhood. T needed to buy a book for her book club, so we walked down there this evening. T and I have a love/hate relationship with this place. In many ways I LOVE that it's not just another Borders or Barns & Nobel carrying the same stuff that you can buy in every generic mid-west strip-mall. I love the history and the character of the place and will happily pay more for a book here rather than buy it on amazon. On the other hand, it drives me CRAZY that their employees don't know where any of the books are, and since they refuse to computerize their used book inventory, they never know what they have in stock, so you spend 20 minutes looking in 3 different sections for a book that they haven't had on the shelf for 3 months.
