I was out fishing on the Kenai River. A storm blew in, forcing me to race back to the cabin. I was soaked through, and the place was cold and empty. Decided to go drinking, so I drove out to Sterling, the closest town about two hours away. The humidity from my clothes steamed up the windows, so I could barely see when I got to town. Pulled into a big gravel parking lot to wipe the windscreen and noticed a thrift shop nearby. I went in to look for junk, and found a box full of paperbacks for $5. I bought it, and took it back to the cabin. Among the books were something like a dozen Louis Lamour novels. I actually enjoyed them.

Oh, I'm not familiar with him but I'm reading his biography right now and seems interesting. So my understanding is you never went drinking that day? Was there any of his books you liked the most?

This happened about 40 years ago. I think I went to a restaurant instead of a bar. I don't remember the book titles. I remember the box, though. It was a real score.
