Are there any book stores in Palm Springs?

I am asked this question almost every day. I always say, yes, we are a book store in the Palm Springs area.

Uh… ok they say, where are you located? Hmm…that’s a difficult question to answer because we do not have a physical store front. This website is our store front.

You see, it is very hard to make money in the book selling business. As a matter of fact, there is really no money in opening a local bookstore. There is a lot of competition. I repeat, A LOT!.

Here is the short list:

  • Amazon.com
  • Half.com
  • Alibris.com
  • Abebooks.com
  • Audible.com

Of course there are more, I said this was the short list.  There are a few bookstores still standing in Palm Springs, here is the short list:

Crystal Fantasy
264 N Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92262
(760) 322-7799

Latino Books Y Mas
123 N Palm Canyon Dr, #525, Palm Springs, CA
(760) 323-3778

Can you remember your childhood? I can sometimes, certain events are very clear in my mind.

What makes us remember only certain events? The human memory is a complicated area that has provoked many theories. My theory is that if it had a major effect on our life, then we remember it.

What do we lose when we can’t remember something that is of value to us? I know, it’s a hard question to answer. My memories are priceless, if I can recall them. The real question is, what do I want to remember?

I want to bring to my mind all of the memories of when my children were young. They are all grown up now and in various stages of denial. Now it’s the grandchildren that make it worth reminiscing. Comparing the grandchildren to their parents is an entertaining experience. Of course, their parents will swear that they never acted like that, yeah right.

Things are different now, it’s more about self-gratification, live life to it’s fullest, even if your kids suffer the dirty consequences. They’ll bounce back, sometimes I believe kids have a God given force field surrounding them, they just look the other way and keep on ticking.

Leave me your thoughts, click on the post title to go to the comments page.

Two things real quick

Hurray for the Cincinati Bengals! Thanks a million Ocho-Cinco and Terrell Owens. You guys are not my favorite players, but yesterday your were. Thank you for giving me the greatest Christmas give a football player could ever give a fan. Thank you for knocking the San Diego Chargers out of the playoffs! 

The Chargers radio messes up my Sundays on a regular basis. I love to listen to Leo Laporte on Sunday afternoons, but the non-sports station that I listen to, KNWS 1140 am, decided to put the Chargers on. Ridiculous, we have a sports station here in the Valley. Besides they have 3 stations under their wing. Why can’t they use one of them for the Chargers and the other ones for their regular broadcast? The program director needs a psychiatric evaluation.

The other thing that I would like to mention, for all of you real NFL fans. Have you noticed a sissyness attitude in the NFL lately? Capping this attitude is the rescheduling last nights Sunday Night Football game between the Eagles and the Vikings to Tuesday because of the weather? Huh…? This is the NFL!  Frozen Tundra, anyone? HELP??

No wonder Minnesota will miss the playoffs.
