When I started reading blogs, Sunday was the busiest day in terms of blog posts. Now, the blogs I respect the most generally do not post on Sundays.

A bookshop, with cardboard boxes of books. I look through one cardboard box, but it’s full of second rate novels.

As I’m about to leave, an older man looks at me and informs me that the bookshop is closing down and that those books will be put out for free later, but there are others (like him) already waiting to get first picks when the books are put out. I comment that Yes, books shouldn’t go to waste.

Bond Holder was walking down the street when he was approached by a strange fellow.

“Give me your wallet” the fellow said.

“No” said the Bond Holder.

“Alright, I’m going to be reasonable. Give me half.”

And still the Bond Holder refused.

He was being unreasonable. After all, the other stake holder in the conversation had already compromised and was willing to take only half of what he had asked for in the beginning (a mighty sacrifice, you must agree).

Besides, the Bond Holder might not really deserve the money. Maybe he cheats on his wife. Maybe he serves over cooked pasta to guests. Who knows what sins he committed in the past.
