It turns out the production server I've been using for 10 years for some key stuff ( and I inherited the tasks, so really, longer )? No one knew what it was used for so they unplugged it.

Oh my.

So many classic lines, I don't know what to quote:

Cooper and I took the dog for a walk. I couldn't resist the way his ass swayed back and forth, so I dragged him behind a bush and took him from behind.

That makes perfect sense -- just wanted to be sure you knew it might be a possibility. A lot of people never realize that bookstores do such things (especially for authors they know and like).

I think the theory would be that you would be doing the bookseller a favor by warming up potential buyers via your reading.
