ohh. Like infinity dollars, unless you're not in America. Then it's basically zero dollars.
According to healthcare.gov the average 3-day hospital stay is $30,000 https://www.healthcare.gov/why-coverage-is-important/protection-from-high-medical-costs/
The "Not Good For Transportation" apparently means this is a receipt, not a ticket.
>Greyhound, on the other hand; last time I took it I got a receipt labelled "Not good for transportation", which is the most concise description of Greyhound available.
I visited The Iliad Bookshop in Burbank CA and this was in Am I Overthinking This? which had actually been on my wishlist for a while and here was only $3! I wonder why the daughter gave this away — if my dad had written this I would have saved it forever. I like to imagine it's something mine could have said since he died 5 years ago. When I saw this I thought it was too special to leave behind especially since I was already interested in the book.
The same round trip on Amtrak today costs $276 for a coach seat, and $881 for a sleeper car. Also it takes over 18 hours each way.
A round-trip flight today from Denver to Chicago can be had for under $200 at just under 2 and a half hours each way.

Suggested reading -- The Chaneysville Incident (https://www.amazon.com/Chaneysville-Incident-Novel-David-Bradley-ebook/dp/B00DZEJRQQ)
"Brilliant but troubled historian John Washington has left Philadelphia, where he is employed by a major university, to return to his hometown just north of the Mason–Dixon Line. He is there to care for Old Jack, one of the men who helped raise him when he was growing up on the Hill, an old black neighborhood in the little Pennsylvania town—but he also wants to learn more about the death of his father. What John discovers is that his father, Moses Washington, left behind extensive notes on a mystery he was researching: why thirteen escaped slaves reached freedom in Chaneysville only to die there, for reasons forgotten or never known at all."
This reminds me of the Nicholson Baker book The World On Sunday which is 13yrs (1898-1911) of that Sunday Paper. It's a fun book to get lost in. TIP: get a magnifying glass.
I looked up "Deadly Reigns book 4" and found this. Author published it himself.
"Last Real Nigga Alive 2" was also self published by a different author.
Some of the stuff in this pile look like editor's copies, with wide spacing between the lines for handwritten notes - which may explain some of the markings. However, since the novels were self-published - the wide spacing could also be intentional to make the books look more substantial. The ones that don't make any sense to us are probably random notes-to-self by the editor/owner using it for scrap paper.
I kinda doubt the actual editor theory, and think that maybe the owner of these "books" had more fun nitpicking the crappy writing for awhile - then gave up and threw it all away.
I think his middle name was Gile

Also matches his mothers middle or maiden name
H H Holmes was a serial killer from the 1890s in Chicago. He would have various contractors build rooms/halls/additions in a building (dubbed "murder castle" after he was found out), and would torture his victims there. A majority of his murders happened during the Chicago's World Fair.
The fantastic book Devil in the White City chronicles both the building of the fair, and the murders happening at the same time.
Sure! There's a lot of books (many outdated) but I found 54 Devils by Cory Thomas Hutcheson to be super helpful and his system is easy to understand and easy to remember. I learned mostly as a party trick but it's become a lot more for me. Have fun!
