The One Way to Philadelphia and to The Famous Grouse.

The carriage for the ride to Philadelphia is arranged, and I wait when it to pick me up. Before that, I can open and take some glasses of The Famous Grouse to remind myself why I do love this Scottish whisky that manufactures since 1896.

I want to look on the world experience and how difficult it has become to find a decent online bookstore.

The unforgettable cruise that I had on MSC Armonia revealed a detail that Sophia Loren shattered a champagne to this ship as well. It makes to understand, she doesn’t like this drink. I need to speak with her. The next time when I will in Italy, I’ll catch a first Italian and say I want to talk with her.

Frenchmen speaking English are lovely – unless you contact with them directly. I still believe about creation of a dictionary because it will help anybody who wants to visit France. Did you know that “way bitter” is “way better” and “shiffed” is “shipped”, as I heard in French English lately?

Waterstones and Barnes & Nobles are owned by Elliot Investment Management, a company whose founder and CEO is Paul Singer. He is a Republican who didn’t support Trump and funded against his campaign in 2014, and changed his mind donating to him in 2024. He should check if he isn’t aware about rotten happening in his controlling networks of bookstores, because all that halted me from buying books in these places.

It was in many locations where Barnes & Nobles promoted Harris as president literature in kids section and there was a book in 2020 in which Trump was presented as a pig and it was about why he shouldn’t be in the White House. Furthermore, the writing for children included a homosexual literature. A mark on X is still on their site but the shop abandoned it and is active on Bluesky now, which link isn’t put in the online store.

I never liked recommendations to buy anything else. Waterstones was intrusive with some book from the worst black American president when I made purchases. Their bias became apparent nominating “My Trans Child Misadventure” on their Children’s Book Prize in 2023. A book that approves gender change operations for kids. Waterstones is active on X and similarly posts on Bluesky.

The social network accounts of Barnes & Nobles and Waterstones make to acknowledge both support radicals in political correctness.

I have never bought before in Bookshop, and I refuse to do that already due to presence on Bluesky. It can be possible with Books-A-Million, which is active on X and has no registration on the infamous platform of free speech attackers. It celebrated Pride Month while the bookstore expressed there a belief that every voice matters – this doesn’t stick to political correctness ideology.

After all, I prefer to buy books from publishers themselves if they’re selling on own websites. There can get an opportunity to find variable editions and appearances. I acquired Columbo’s books Shooting Columbo and Unshot Columbo from a publisher’s site – it was a single location selling them in hardcover.

The forty-degree wonder The Famous Grouse was poured in the glass. The scent is enriched and gives to feel the wheat. Its burning and harsh in drinking. Whisky burns more after beginning to shake in a mouth, but it is a lovable kiss. That’s drink has a strict taste, but the one in looking for satisfaction. The aftertaste is enlightenment and cleans the body.
