Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Dog is my co-pilot.

Consuela, those who rescue young dogs whose owners gave them up because they were too energetic and needed running-with are also heroes.

Definitely! The group I volunteer with gets Labs of all ages. It just so happens that I adopted all of mine when they were between the ages of 6 and 7; they're now 10-1/2 to 13-1/2. We get more dogs ages 1-6 in need of homes than any other age group. The typical scenario is the undertrained and underexercised adolescent or young adult who is either a stray or is given up by someone who got a pup without considering the pup's needs.

I have to admit that I've never read a HP book.

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, a UPS truck pulled up and stopped across the street.

The first UPS truck of the day.

Why wasn't it delivering MY BOOK???

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Emmett is famous! Too bad they didn't have a photo. I thought all newspapers like angelically scrappy young faces in their pages.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Got my book, reading it out on the patio. Life feels sweet this AM.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How long for the insane crowds to go away? Think I can buy the book tonight or tomorrow?

My local big-ass-chain bookstore elected not to put the book on sale at midnight, but just to start selling it at regular business hours today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett is famous!

I showed him that his name comes up when you google it. He was very excited. "I'm on the internet!"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Looks like we will make a bookstore run before we hit ArtScape, so I may have HP7 today after all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I showed him that his name comes up when you google it. He was very excited. "I'm on the internet!"

That's awesome.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

That is cool. I will never be able to google my name and actually find me. My name is way too common.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett Smay's are in relatively short supply.

Buffistas! Come visit!

Startup airline Virgin America's plunge into the low-cost air travel market this week prompted fare cuts by two major rivals on Friday, holding out the prospect of a price war on several popular routes -- at least until the new carrier's low introductory offerings expire in November.

Virgin America, based in Burlingame, began selling tickets Thursday for travel beginning Aug. 8 through early next year. The carrier is offering very low initial fares, customary when an airline is promoting something special -- which, in Virgin America's case, is its birth.

Virgin America offers a $139 coach class fare for a one-way trip from its home airport, San Francisco International Airport, to John F. Kennedy International Airport. That was matched on Friday by JetBlue, which calls JFK home, and has pioneered amenities that Virgin America will be offering, such as leather seats and TV seatback screens. JetBlue's lowest published fare on that route had been $179.
