New Books!

You may remember I had $50 in gift cards to spend at the mega bookstore, Chapters. I have been looking forward to getting there and browsing around ever since the cards arrived in the mail a couple of weeks ago. But, each time I planned to go something else came up. Last time it was the car battery's death. Today I went into Barrie and had that replaced, all nice and tidy and free even! Turns out the waranttee covered it. that was really nice news.

So, since I was alone (the lone errand runner) I treated myself to a browse at Chapters. I found three books which I would have wanted to get even if I didn't have the bonus of the gift cards. I bought Digital Scrapbooking, 101 Digital Photo Tips and the new 6th Edition of Elizabeth Castro's HTML, XHTML and CSS. The last one is dated copyright 2007, not sure how I managed to buy a book from the future but at least it's really nice and new! It even has that nice and new book smell.

Were you driving at exactly 88 mph on your trip to Chapters. That's the exact speed required to go "Back to the Future" in the movies.
Other than that I have no explanation for the future book you bought.
Some skeptics might say it was a typo but those are the same people who don't think there are flying saucers and swear that JFK was assassinated by a lone gunman. Pfffft. What a bunch of weirdos..

It's very possible I was going 88 kph. Would that do? Or does it lose something in the conversion to metric?
