Coming in July from @arcadia_publishing is my next book, Florida Scoundrels.

Want it as quickly as possible? It's available for pre-order at the normal online book sales outlets. Your local store can easily order copies, and I will have copies for sale on my website. 

Forget Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos, and those other worn out stories. Meet people you have probably never heard of, or see those you have in a new light.

Secondhand Stories LLC is a newly opened used bookstore in Edgewater, FL. 

Owner Brandi Rogers has a good assortment of books, leaning on paperback fiction at very attractive prices. Not to worry, there are lots of nonfiction titles in various subjects. 

Books are shelved by subject. Fiction looked to be in loose alphabetical order, non fiction is just by subject. 

Good selection and price. Brandi was very friendly as we commiserated over the unwanted political phone calls on our cell phones.

Edgewater has a great new bookstore with @turtleandbeabookboutique. Now we have a used bookstore to match. 

My pickings for today are shown. It will make me very happy to remove the Seine book and SPQR from an Amazon list. 

Located at 800 Indian River Boulevard, very close to the train tracks. Stop in and check out the store. taken in Secondhand Stories LLC by @robertreddhistorian

The cathedral is a must see in Manchester. taken in Manchester Cathedral by @robertreddhistorian

It's time for his can of soft food.

If we are late in his opinion, this is what he does now. He goes and sits at his feeding station and gives a judgmental look until we comply with his wishes.

He eats by the fireplace behind a screen because Ruby knows she's not allowed there. She is very good about following that rule.

The view of the moon from a few days ago, shining brightly over the Indian River.

Images shot with my phone in hand, no tripod. Not too bad, all things considered. taken in Indian River by @robertreddhistorian

Get to Costco for the Bonne Maman 12 Days of Christmas jam and marmalade gift box before they sell out.

This is a beautiful boxed assortment, perfect to give or pick up for yourself. My wife bought one for us.

The box contains 12 mini jars of delicious spreads. Each jar is 28g, so just under one ounce each. Flavors include

Apricot (2)
Concord grape
Fig
Guava
Hazel nut chocolate 
Orange 
Raspberry (2)
Strawberry (2)
Wild blueberry 

The best part (well other than the taste) is the price. This sampler pack was $16.

I haven't been in a Bass Pro Shops in probably 10 years or more since visiting Memphis. That shop is located in the unique pyramid building. We had a specific reason for stopping at the Daytona location and I couldn't help but commemorate the visit.

If you are into fishing, hunting, guns, boats, outdoors, etc. this is the place for you. Two floors to explore if you are so inclined. 

Don't leave without your logo t-shirt. We didn't get one of those but did grab a moon pie from the massive display. You know I love my coffee but I passed on the Black Rifle display. 

The store was clean and the staff friendly. Our cashier shared his moon pie advice which included heating it in the microwave for a few seconds. taken in Bass Pro Shops by @robertreddhistorian

We visited a local international food store and of course I got to looking at coffee. The owner swore by the German brand Jacobs Kronung ground coffee.

There are lots of red flags but I thought I would give it a try.

250g vacuum sealed bag. $14.99. 

It turns out this is a blend of arabica and robusta beans. There is no origin statement. The roast is pretty dark and the grind is fine. 

I first tried brewing on a V60 as shown. The grind is so fine that the draw down time for a 30g dose was way too long. The fines were all over the filter. The water was struggling at the end as the bottom clogged up. The bloom wasn't too bad, as shown in the photos. 

I have since tried it in a Keurig machine at work.

The flavor can be pretty bold. There is no room for subtle notes here. No florals. No fruits. There is a smokey flavor and every now and then a note of chocolate slips in. It's a lingering taste that will sit with you for a while. 

While not bad, it's not one I am likely to purchase again. I didn't try it through a regular drip brewer so that might be better. For me, I will leave it at work and use it in the shared Keurig machine. by @robertreddhistorian
