It was prominently displayed at my King Soopers yesterday. Normally I would have snatched it up immediately, but with Harbingers I graduated to the hardbacks. I'll be pre-ordering my copy of Bloodlines here in a few moments trying to push you up on the bestseller list.

Yeah, it's in stores.
Abe's raised eyebrows caused furrows in his extended forehead. "Five in twelve hours?"
"Oh, and like you've never had a cranky day?"

Got my copy today, started re-reading it after work at Bull McCabe's. And I noticed something I hadn't picked-up on before: on p. 7, Jack asks Timmy for a pen. Now, that doesn't mean Jack =doesn't= have a pen on him, but there seems to be no dramatic reason he'd ask for Timmy's if he'd had.
I would have thought Jack would =always= have a pen on him, not just to write, but as a last -ditch weapon. Maybe a pen that has hidden surprises.
I am scratching the psoriasis of confusion.

You are really stuck on this aren't you?

Naw. But I always tell my staff, "Have a pen on you--we need one in our work." And the Valued Customers ask every day for a pen and a piece of paper. I just get tired of it. "You need a pen, do yez? From where I stand, you don't look like you could write an IOU. So why not fuck off and make your way to Borders. You'll find your kind there."

Always take 2 Bic pens and dental floss on the airplane. Makes a great garrote.

You really only need three things: WD-40, Duct Tape, and a pointy stick. If it's supposed to move and doesn't, use the WD-40. If it moves and isn't supposed to, use the Duct Tape. If you want it to move and it doesn't want to, use the pointy stick. The rest of life is easy.
hmmm I'll have to remember that.....
