Lightly Scratched, Mildly Dented
by Pete Peterson on February 7, 2012 The Christmas season left us with a sizable pile of books and CDs that have suffered varying degrees of damage while in transit from place to place. The CDs have cracked or broken jewel cases and the books have minor tears or crumplings or other oddities, but each book is still readable and each CD still playable. I’ve listed all of these castaways in the store (click here) and they can be yours for just $3.99 each.
We’ve also added quite a few new (and completely unbroken) items to the store lately. Here’s a look at some of the new stuff in what amounts to something of a Song of the Day bonanza (not to mention the books and other goodies).

You’re using up all of my allowance.
Regarding GKC from an introduction to his book – “Heretics”
His poetry runs the gamut from the comic 1908 “On Running After One’s Hat” to dark and serious ballads. During the dark days of 1940, when Britain stood virtually alone against the armed might of Nazi Germany, these lines from his 1911 “Ballad of the White Horse” were often quoted:
I tell you naught for your comfort,
Yea, naught for your desire,
Save that the sky grows darker yet
And the sea rises higher.

I had assumed from the title of the post that it would be about the human condition…
