Found this in the local store a while back:

Shardik?
Has anybody read the Richard Adams book. Recommend it?

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, bears decided to grow flowers on the balcony.
They went to the nearest Garden Center and grabbed the first plastic packs which read "Begonias". Not having the slightest idea what it all would be like, they got two packs, without counting anything, because anyway they couldn't know.
Then I bought big plastic crates, a big yellow watering can, and ground said to be "for begonias", and started planting.
Soon I found out that I bought 20 little ones - ten in each pack. It was more than I expected, and they took a lot more room than I thought they would, so I went and bought two more crates and ground.
In the middle of planting, I realized that one of the plants was missing. I repeat, I had grabbed them without looking because looking would have been no use anyway... I didn't know I was buying 20... less than that did I know that actually I was buying 19.
You can count them: two, two, five, five, five.

Seeing as I just finished Wolves of the Calla I've noticed a few things around town.
We have a retirement home near me called Callahan Village. We also have a mountain range about 15 minutes away called what else but the Callahan's. I went on a walk a few nights ago with my friend, and their is a Randall Court, Chambers Ave, Rose Street downtown, and a Ne Flagg Street.
I have also been seeing 19 around everywhere. The sign at Taco Bell yesterday read, "Happy 19th Birthday Roland." I laughed when I noticed that.
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
Nice catch.I have also been seeing 19 around everywhere. The sign at Taco Bell yesterday read, "Happy 19th Birthday Roland." I laughed when I noticed that.

Hi all,
Well I started reading TDT in 2002 and was pretty gutted it finished at WaG (I actually had no idea there were ever meant to be 7, the last one had been written 7 years before, I figured this must be it) I was 17.
Then, in 2003 I saw Wolves on the shelf in a supermarket. I had stopped reading much at this point but was well aware this was the next DT book. But I left it on my shelf at home to gather dust. It wasn't the last book, I wasn't into reading as much at that time so I just ignored it.
A year later I still hadn't read it. Then I was wondering around town and spotted The Dark Tower in a shop. But it was the last book? What about book 6? I bought it there and then anyway and scoured every shop for Song of Susannah which had somehow escaped my notice a little while before. I found it and looked forward to starting the beginning of the end when I got home.
I began reading Wolves and was instantly drawn back into the world of Roland and co like I'd never left.
Of course 19 isn't even mentioned in the first 4 books (unless you read the revised Gunslinger). But I liked it's inclusion in the latter three. It only occured to me later that I finished the series when I was 19, that I'd bought and yet not started reading Wolves until I was 19.
Only a small thing I know but I think it's pretty cool, like fate (ka?) meant me to read them only when the time was right
I guess I'll post in here since I consider this a DT related coincidence. A few days ago, I arrived back at the scene of the crime: my uncle's home in Indiana. This is where I began reading The Gunslinger last summer, because it fell (practically by itself, ha) off a shelf in a room I was sitting in. At the beginning of June, I finished Song of Susannah, and told myself I would wait til another break to start the final book. I'm not really sure why, but I like to keep the suspense and make myself wait like you'd have to if the book wasn't published yet. Annnnyways, I was watching tv with the cousins last night when my youngest cousin came up to us holding one of my aunts/uncles books. Can you guess which one it was?
I'm still holding off. Hopefully there will be no other coincidences, or else I'll be freaked, haha. Thanks for readin', that was fairly long I'd say...

Something i thought was really cool
A few miles south of where i live is subdivision called the Rooker the main street that runs threw it is called Crimson King Parkway... i was thinking thats kinda cool. A Rolands world our wolrd connection. Maybe it was named by a Tower Junkie?
That is exeptionally cool
BEEP BEEP Richie! They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
That is very cool. Thanks for sharing this.
That is cool!
*note to myself: never forget to take a wrench with you for a possible discovery that Bricey would like and search for an envelope big enough to mail a road sign.*Or maybe go out in the middle of the night with a wrench and mail the sign to me?
Wow!! I definitely need a larger photo too! (Pretty please?) :/
That is cool!

FYI, you'll need an allen wrench to remove most street signs. Not that I've done it before or anything. Just sayin' . . .
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
you should put a bounty on it and get someone else to do it.
that's what i did when i wanted a street sign that had my baby's name on it.
and then send it to me.
really cool. usually neighborhoods have a theme. what are the surrounding street names?
Nope...sorry Brice
I read super slow, and sort of have ten million things that somehow end up infront of reading. I have to rearrange my priorities, huh?

The Real number 19?
.......is 23? I watched the film the number 23 last night and just like the number 19 in the tower + other king books it pops up everywhere. I was a little skeptical when i watched the film so i had a wee looky on the internet and this is what i found.
Thought and opinions please
April 19th As in 4-19... 4 + 19 = 23. April 19 is the date the Battle of Lexington, Waco, and the Oklahoma City Bombing... (4+19=23).You connect the dots.
Asteroid researchers measuring the rotation periods of asteroids reported that none were found with periods of less than 2.3 hours. A rotation period of less than 2.3 hours would cause them to be torn apart. I dunno,physics
Astronomy The axis of the planet Earth is 23.5 degrees.As it is above, so below
Bible: Revelations There is no known 23rd Chapter to Revelations.
December 23, 2012 The date the Mayans believed the world will end. Hence why they werereally obsessed with time and it's observance.
January 23 Adolf Hitler organized the National Socialist Congress on January 23. On November 23 he tried to seize power.
Mathematics: Primes 23 is the first prime number in which both digits are prime numbers and add up to another prime number
Blood takes 23 seconds to circulate the body.
We recieve 46 cromazones (spelling) from both parents. 23 from each one...
Twin towers were hit on 9/11/2001 9+11+2+1 = 23
This is just a small percentage of events and facts out there referring to the number 23.
The number 2 is described by mathematicians as balance, black and white, good and evil etc etc. The number 3 i think is taking that balance away. if i remember correctly and the root number of that is 5
