Re: Harry Potter and Amazon

[Barb Engvall <mcbook@NWINFO.NET>]

I ordered from Amazon several months ago, but I went down to my local B
Dalton to get a copy today because FedEx does not normally deliver to my
small town on Saturdays. I decided to pick up two so my husband and I could
both read it at the same time. When I got home, I was surprised to see that
FedEx DID deliver today! Our little town had about 30 copies so they must
have felt it worth their while! Hooray for both Amazon and FedEx...oh, the
third copy has been loaned to fellow LM_NETer Jean Gustafson! Have you
finished it yet, Jean???

Well, I am set to no-mail for a couple of weeks as our 2 Harrys and we go
off on vacation! See you all later!
