Only in northern Minnesota
So I’m a dumbass. I thought I was being clever by ordering the new Harry Potter through Amazon so it would ship and be in my hands by the time I went on vacation. Well, for some reason, I thought it came out on a Wednesday and I was leaving on Friday. Of course it was too late to change the shipping address, or even cancel the order, by the time I realized it came out on a that Saturday. Sadly, I left for vacation to rural northern Minnesota knowing that my copy of Deathly Hollows would either be sitting on my door step waiting for someone to swipe it or hanging out in the post office.
Sidenote: The later happened, and by the time I went to pick it up at the post office, I only had 200 pages left. I’m getting ahead of myself here but what ev. Anyway, the bitch behind the counter was like “oh, I haven’t read it yet but I heard an interview this morning that said [ insert all major plot point spoilers here ]. God damn I was pissed. But being the sweet boy that I am, I just smiled and said “I guess I’ll see what happens tonight… (you fucking bitch hag troll from hell).”
Ok, back to the long ass story to explain the photos below. After we woke up on Saturday, I just HAD to get my hands on that book! So Carrie in all her sweetness drove me up somewhere north of Pine River, MN to a cute little book shop where I paid the full $35 for a second copy of a book that technically I owned already. And on our way back to the car, we past the pawn shop below and I just happened to read the sign posted on the door. Only in northern Minnesota :)
