I finally decided to order that same book from Amazon just a couple of days ago.
According to Amazon it will be shipped on the 7th.
I wonder if they have a new supply of them or what.
When I ordered it there was just 1 left.

That's interesting. I ordered mine late last night and received notice of the same shipping date in my e-mail this morning.

Maybe the 7th is their first day back after the holidays?
I've bought from them before over the years and they usually shipped within a day or two.
Ahhh, the anticipation.

I've noticed I have more patients the older I get.

I just re-read my post and it sounded like I was upset with Amazon.
My fingers didn't type the post the way my brain said it.

What I should have said is.
Amazon is a great company to deal with and ships very fast.
And with all of the holidays and such I figure they are shut down so their workers can enjoy the holidays with their families like the rest of us.
That is probably why the books are being shipped on the 7th.

I'm going to have to get my hands, mouth and brain synchronized one of these days.

Strange 1, if you figure out how to do that let me know. I usually have my foot in my mouth. If Amazon sold a foot-in-mouth extractor, I'd probably but one.
