Among new books at DreamHaven: _Little Vampire Women_, and one which reveals that Shakespeare was a vampire.
Next? Maybe an ad for _Dracula_, now with vampires.
***To Waite House for NAPS (Nutritional Assistance Program for Seniors) commodities.
This month, there were also checks for Farmers Market food. Governments tend to operate on the assumption that more complicated is better; it's not possible to get change from the checks, and there are restrictions on what they can be used for. But they're still worth having.
I also got some food from the twice-monthly produce giveaway.
***"If you're looking for the best instrument for slapping up that kid you caught in the wrong neighborhood, or teaching a lesson to the scumbag dealer who sold you cocaine cut with levamisole, the newer smart phones, like the HTC EVO 4G or the Motorola Droid (both weigh in at 6 oz.) will prove most effective."

Chris Kuzneski
"The Prophecy"
(Putnam $22.06)
[Friday], July 16th 7:00 P. M.
Once Upon A Crime 604 West 26th St. Minneapolis 612-870-3785
Michel de Nostredame, the French apothecary commonly known as Nostradamus, has gained a cult-like following, a loyal band of enthusiasts who credit him with predicting numerous world events -- the Great Fire of London, the rise of Napoleon and Hitler, and the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima. However, his most important collection of prophetic verses has remained hidden... until now.
In the year 2009, a letter was mailed to a woman who does not understand why she has received the puzzling correspondence, written in a series of codes and ancient languages. She enlists the help of Jonathon Payne and David Jones.
Relentlessly hunted by those determined to protect the secret, these guys have no choice but to fight back. In an adventure that spans two continents and several centuries, Payne and Jones must locate the sacred text that may change everything we know about the future.
