In my email news bag this morning, thanks to Query Tracker, I was able to see the national list of Borders stores on the hatchet list for closure. Thank goodness, none were listed within the state of Maine. In truth, I don't know how many Borders Bookstores are located in Maine. I do know the one in Bangor is a treasure. It would be such a loss to have that one close. I have also heard wonderful things about the Borders Bookstore located in San Diego, CA. That one wasn't on the list either. The closest one to San Diego on the list is in El Cajon. Too bad. El Cajon needs as many places of literature and art as businesses will bring into the area.

Another piece of Internet news this morning was that the state of Texas decided to go after Amazon for $270 MILLION in taxes. It seems Amazon.com's distribution center has been located in Austin, Texas. Perhaps it should be noted that the state of Texas does not have a state income tax. For sure it should be noted that it was also reported that Amazon is moving its distribution center OUT of the state of Texas.
