The Awesome New Cat Leo
I just got back from Boy Scout Camp at Camp Yawgoog in Rhode Island. When I got home I found that my parents had bought my brother a cat for his birthday. We used to have two cats, Frankie and Nelle, but since Nelle died in October we've only been toying with the idea of getting a new cat. the new cat's name is Leo. Leo is an eight month old American Shorthair/Siamese mix. He gets an awesomeness rating of 8.9 out of 10. We've been trying to introduce him to Frankie, but Frankie seems scared for some reason. Here's a picture of me with Leo.

The Flash Comics Anomaly
So, like I told you, I recently got back from my 13-day vacation. I mentioned that I went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where my grandparents have a chalet. There I went to S & G Comics and Collectibles, which, in terms of comic book stores, I would give on a scale of 6.8 on a scale of 1 to 10. They didn't have a lot of what I was looking for, meaning Silver and Bronze Age comics. I know that means I shouldn't be biased, and in their favor, they did have loads of later comics from the Modern Age. They also had lots of different figures and busts, which was pretty cool. I purchased The Flash #176 and Adventure Comics #431. I was pretty happy with my purchase. That is, until Saturday. I went to New England Comics in Quincy, which is where I do basically all of my comics shopping. I give them an 8.9 out of 10. I was there to use my gift card that I received from my grandparents for my birthday. There, I bought The Flash #147, #154, and #192. Also in the section where I found those comics, I found The Flash #176. Yup, the same issue that I bought in Tennessee. Except there, it was half the price, ( $20.00 at S & G, $10.00 at New England Comics), and in better condition. I obviously didn't buy a second copy just because of the better price and condition. Too bad. Really too bad. Oh, by the way, my brother just started writing on his new blog and told me to put it on a post on my blog. The URL is arlosrandomworld.wordpress.com.
