Mrs. Elbeno and I took the car down to the local place for a minor service yesterday. We spent a pleasant Saturday morning wandering around the cafes and shops downtown. It was too early to see a movie, so we stopped in at a coffee shop and had a cup of cocoa and an almond croissant. Mrs. Elbeno had a pain au chocolat. Then we headed east a bit and found a thrift store which sold books. So I picked up a copy of Chaos for $2! I've been looking for that, too.
