Found a journal in a thrift store with two very different stories in it
I bought a leather bound notebook for a dollar at a thrift store in Tacoma last month. The first half is filled with very neat, detailed notes about bird watching from 1998. But if you flip it over and start from the back, it's a messy, angry story about a guy working on a fishing boat. I had to choose between reading it front-to-back as one weird life, or treating them as two separate finds. I read the fishing story first, and it was honestly gripping, full of arguments with a captain named Sal. Has anyone else found a notebook being used for two totally separate things?

That's actually a common way to use those old blank books... they're meant to be flipped over when you fill one side.

So you just turn the whole book upside down?
