I ordered the volume two of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories today. When it arrives, I'll hopefully have all of it he wrote. I am rather enjoying volume one so far. :)

Six dollars and sixty cents. ;) It's a paperback edition. Nothing too fancy. And volume two of two.

I found the hardback volume that had the stories as published in the Strand, I love the turn of phrase of that era's English.

Depends on how fast you type. A 160 character message can take around 25 seconds for me, on a decent keyboard. It's a little longer on a touch screen keyboard cause I am used to going so fast that the auto-correct software can't cope with it.

I knew Americans hated the letter "u", but I didn't think "d" was so unpopular. :P

80 degrees and sunny, and the same expected for tomorrow - the damn Bennies are out clogging up the roads, and it isn't even Memorial Day yet.

Here's an open message to you: stay mother-f***ing home in New mother-f***ing York and go to Jones mother-f***ing Beach.
