The Writings of Hall Tennis

Joe–
Went through everything, clicking all the way and waiting.  As usual, web
waiting seemed a burden.  I know, it is the nature of the beast; but, like
grizzley bears, it prevents people from visiting the scenery.
Over all the design and the logic seemed to work well, and made sense.  One
minor exception:  “…buy books on (ON?) our….”  From?  If I am buying, I
like to deal with the party I am buying from not the “place,” such as a WWW
site, where the deal appears visible–in reality that is my “:desktop.”

Considering the present cumbersome state of WWW, I think the major problem is
color separation, for me most noticeable in the Joe10 design, but also
apparent in the others.
The only other distraction (and I do not know how ti charecterize it) was the
“Tools We’ll Use” and “Book Reviews” button.  Putting two things into one
button threw me for a minute, looked like an error, then I recovered after
clicking anyway, despite feeling subtly alienated, and decided it was Okay.
BUT, those few moments of alienation/strangeness before I
clicked-waited-read, they signal a warning, a red flag of some kind.
Deviation from a pattern is  an accented event.

Maw asked, “Go around to Aunt Lulu’s for me and pick up a dozen eggs?”

“Sure,” I answered, “Where is it?”

JOSEPH TENNIS,ship’s captain, smuggled George Cooper out of Elizabeth City
County in July 1829 after the latter shot a man to death.
Cooper was later principal of Syms Eaton Academy (Hampton, Va.) which was
the first “public,” (whatever that may mean) secondary school in the U.S.A.
