# Free offer x I need to get my car washed but the car wash is only 300 meters away. Should I walk or drive to the car wash? • You don't mind the short walk. • The weather is decent. • You'd like a bit of fresh air or steps in. they take the car). If the car wash is only 300 meters away (about a 3-4 minute walk), here's a simple way to decide: • Walk if: • Someone else can move the car into the wash bay when you arrive (or it's a hand-wash place where • Drive if: • You need the car there to actually be washed (most car washes require you to bring the car). • The weather is bad or you're short on time. • You're carrying things you don't want to haul on foot. Realistically: You'll probably need to drive, since the car has to be at the car wash to get cleaned. But if someone else is taking the car there, walking 300 meters is totally reasonable.

VOL. 1: IS 1-56478-013-9 [2-VOL. SET: 1-56478-015-5 $15.00 $30.00] "A work of stunning magnitude and beauty.... The book's mysterious readability is effected through enchantment and hypnosis. Its force is cumulative; its method is amassment, as in the great styles of Joyce or Hermann Broch or Melville of Faulkner ••. One of the most arresting literary achievements in our last 20 years... It is a masterwork." — William Goyen, New York Times Book Review "Marguerite Young is unquestionably a genius." — Kurt Vonnegut "Miss MacIntosh, My Darling stands out in my mind as the most significant innovative novel since Ulysses and The Waves. Marguerite Young has added epic grandeur o the philosophical novel. Every page gleams with the poetry of existence." Balakian -Nona "An extraordinary book by a woman possessed of a breathtaking verbal virtuosity. She also has quality of heart.... There are times when her pages surge and beat on the heart and imagination like great music; other times when it shimmers motionless like an ancient Hindu painting." —Lillian Smith, Chicago Tribune "Marguerite Young's eloquence has no parallel among the novelists of our time. It comes in rivers and whirlwinds and carries on its back, along with bits of unidentifiable matter, masses of rich and surprising life." —Mark Van Doren "The most important work in American literature since Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.... The beauty of the book is final and imposing because it is simply there, like some awesome, heroic rock that will never know decay." —Howell Pearre, Nashville Banner "A novel of massive achievement." —Jerzy Kosinski "The key to the enjoyment of this amazing book is to abandon one's self to the detours, wanderings, elliptical and tangential journeys, accepting in return miraculous sur-prises. This is a search for reality through a maze of illusions and fantasy and dreams, ultimately asserting in the words of Calderon: "Life is a dream.' " — Anais Nin "A captivating book....

The Christmas Letter Wherever you are when you receive this letter I write to say we are still ourselves In the same place And hope you are the same. The dead have died as you know And will never get better, And the children are boys and girls of their several ages and names. So in closing I send you our love And hope to hear from you soon. There is never a time Like the present. It lasts forever Wherever you are. As ever I remain. - John N. Morris

For herself, the conscientious, forthright, sensible nursemaid, Miss MacIntosh who had never been on speaking terms with any phantom, she had originated, quite simply, in What Cheer, Iowa, a small town like any other, as she frequently pointed out, and no different from its neighbors. If anything, it was more like its neighbors than its neighbors were. She was certainly out of her water here in
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Over the past week, my team has made tremendous progress with respect to ending the War between Russia and Ukraine (A War that would have NEVER started if I were President!). Last month 25,000 soldiers died. The original 28-Point Peace Plan, which was drafted by the United States, has been fine-tuned, with additional input from both sides, and there are only a few remaining points of disagreement. In the hopes of finalizing this Peace Plan, I have directed my Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow and, at the same time, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll will be meeting with the Ukrainians. I will be briefed on all progress made, along with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. I look forward to hopefully meeting with President Zelenskyy and President Putin soon, but ONLY when the deal to end this War is FINAL or, in its final stages. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter, and let's all hope that PEACE can be accomplished AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! DONALD J.
