Paranoid book shoppers

Philadelphia’s Friends of the Free Library held its annual big book sale this weekend. Hardbacks $2, paperbacks $1. If you have the patience to dig under piles of DOS for Dummies and
!!! Holy shit, I was just about to mock the Royal Canadian Air Force Exercise Plans for Physical Fitness. I picked it up, laughed at the seventies-style pictures of people exercising, and tossed it aside. But at Amazon.com (where the cheapest price is $19.50), people are raving!
I’ve been following the 5BX exercise plan since 1986, a long time ago. It is virtually free of cost, no frills & very effectiveI find the fitness plans more challanging than aerobic kick boxing
It’s one of the greatest physical fitness books of all times. A true gem. Unfortunately, it is out of print.
Damn. Anyway, as I was systematically parusing the merchandise, a woman carrying a large stack of books approached. When I glanced up at her, she shot me a look of pure evil, raced the rest of the way to the table, grabbed a book, and quickly placed it at the bottom of her pile.
It turns out that shy-book-lady was picking up The Joy of Sex. Either she was worried that I would grab the book before she did or she was trying to be sneaky. Sheesh, woman.

The RCAFE plan is what I invariably return to for exercise no matter what method I have tried since then. They exercises are easy to remember without looking them up (a major point as the years accumulate), they are not too taxing and they make a diference - what’s not to like?
I’m upset about missing out on the RCAFE book. We’ve all been brainwashed into thinking we need $150 running shoes, yoga mats, and gym memberships to stay in shape.
Canada has an Air Force?! I’m Canadian and I didn’t even know that! If we really do, our planes are probably as old as that book.
No, no… I’m just kidding around!
