HOOOOOORAY!!!
I got an email from Jose at CreateSpace, Amazon's publishing division. He said it was a "technical error" on their part that flagged issues in my file that weren't really issues. They'd reversed the changes they'd made and sent it back to Technical Review. "You should hear from them shortly."
In fact that email had already appeared in my inbox and it announced that my files had been approved.
Yipeee.
So I've ordered a proof copy of that book (a fresh edition of Understanding Your Bible) that should arrive Thursday. The proof copy of Questions in Dispensationalism is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, though it was still in Kentucky this afternoon, so maybe Wednesday.
Unless I see a huge red flag in either book I'll hit the "Approved" button and the books should show up on the Amazon site within 24 hours and the Kindle site almost simultaneously.
This is gonna happen.
I think sending some pretty big files back and forth between the two ladies that did my book covers and Amazon means we've used up our data allowance with HughesNet, our internet provider (via a satellite dish at the end of our driveway).
"Your connection speed will be seriously degraded."
What does it say about the quality of our internet service that we can't tell the difference?
I went into Starbuck's this morning and spent a couple of hours working on prep for NY. Made good progress and have the first Sunday's sermon and lesson both done except for the slides. Then I came home and started on Sally's carb rebuild.
Uhm.....
Somebody has been in here before and didn't put things back like they found them. There should have been at least three tiny stainless steel check balls and there was only one. I now know why the choke didn't work; several pieces of that system were MIA.
I soaked the body in a gallon can of carb cleaner and then rinsed it thoroughly. It's now drying on top of the wood stove. I'll reassemble it this evening and install it tomorrow afternoon.
I hope it works, ideally better than it did before I took it all apart.
We didn't get out of the mid-40s today and the wind blew hard enough to make it downright chilly out there. I still went for my run, though. I have to be faithful if I'm going to get back into race shape, never mind lose those winter pounds.
"The good is the enemy of the best." - Adm. H. Rickover
This truth seems to be beyond the grasp of many (most) people, including every part of govt., federal or local. They ask us for more money through even higher taxes so they can do something they tell us is essential to the civic well-being. I strongly suspect that in almost every case they'd have enough money if they stopped doing some good things that aren't necessary.
I almost never vote for anything that requires more taxation. I'm convinced that in every case the money is there, just being spent on something that may be good but isn't the best.
I guess that makes me a budget hawk, eh?
