Went to Borders bookstore .... "Closing, everything must go!" Everything was in disarray, books placed here and there haphazardly... bookshelves $100 each.
Borders was the first big bookstore I ever went to (Ann Arbor (the original location, I believe). For a bibliophile like myself, it was like walking into heaven without being dead... Visiting it today was attending a funeral (only with books!).
Got one of the latest Star Trek books, and "The New Space Opera 2". Lots of other people picking over the remains ... Me too...
Goodbye, Borders. I'll miss you.
The Buddha said everything is impermanent, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
