That was my mistake, standard shipping. As of today, I am still waiting for the book for my TCOM 630 class. Yes, I am a cheapskate. I was thrilled to get the book and shipping for less than ten bucks. That is unheard of in the land of hundred dollar textbooks.
I am usually proud of my cost saving measures, but this one might end up biting me.
I don’t buy a lot of anything but appreciate the convenience of online shopping. One of my favorite places to shop is Moosejaw. It isn’t that they have better products or lower prices, but they will match any advertises price. The best part of the Moosejaw web site is the product descriptions. Moosejaw has a reputation for storytelling to sell it’s wares. The entries remind me of the J. Peterman character on Seinfeld, but with a penchant for outdoorsy humor. Moosejaw wants you to have fun shopping on it’s web site.
Readers are treated to obscure references and tales of dating conquests and confusion. If you enjoy the outdoors, online shopping and reading funny narratives, I recommend heading to Moosejaw.com. I’ll warn you though, you might end up wasting a lot of time. Maybe it will keep me occupied while I wait for my book to be delivered.

My amazon order was placed on the 23 and for some reason hasn't shipped yet. What's up with that?
I ordered this textbook on the 21st, the 634 book on the 23rd. I got my 634 book yesterday and have yet to receive this one. Oh, the joys of online shopping!
My book came today and I just tried to cram some reading in beforer class.
I really like the idea of gaining trust. That goes right to the heart of what I try to be, trustworthy. I am an Assistant Scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts and the first point of the Scout Law is Trustworthy. Some people think it is the most important of the 12 points. Simmons makes a good point that you must first gain the trust of someone if you want them to believe you. Sounds pretty simple, but I am sure we have all worked for someone who doesn't get that concept.
I should get caught up on the rest of the reading before next week's class.
