armory.  Nice exhibit.    (just wait for the Viking exhibit, starting in

5.   Friends of the Library are holding their annual 'Book Sale' at the
George R. Brown on Sat. (9-5), and Sun (12-4).  Its free to get in, best to
take a cart to carry all your books around with you, as you shop.  If you
have never been, there are tables and tables, rows and rows of donated and
used books, paperbacks, and kids books.   Some years you find lots, some
years its slim pickings... but its free to get in.

6.  International Gem and Mineral Show - Astroarena   $5 to park, $5 or 6
to get in.   Some of its import junk, some is high prices quality jewelry,
there is a jewelry tools supplier, some raw materials, lots of beads, and
lots of 'largess'   type items available to purchase.   Check out their
website at www.intergem.com,  there may be a discount coupon available to
