BOOKSTORE
This morning the long awaited Borders opened the doors of their Turlock bookstore. This is a momentous occasion for our small city (which up to this point had no general bookstore). The ripple effects are enormous:
1. I now know where to look for Dan Whitmarsh, our associate pastor, when he's not in the office (and sure enough I found him there this morning).
2. There is now somewhere in town where I can buy classical music. (This morning I bought a CD of Bach violin concerti.)
3. The university can now apply for accreditation.
4. There is now someplace other than Starbucks that the 10 resident Bohemians can hangout.
5. There are now four places in town where the people with facial hardware can find work.
