Lunctime Life Collection

It was hell out on I-55 today. Cold frozen and I expected to see Brutus and Judas being chewed on somewhere on the horizon. It's only getting worse overnight. I'm running Monday.

Tonight's Wolf Moon is the biggest, brightest moon of the year. Good luck seeing it from places other than Memphis. And look for the reddish object just to the left. That's Mars.

Domestic Terrorist Scott Roeder found guilty. Who wants to bet that gun will turn up as a Holy Relic among the Control-the-women crowd?

2009 worst year on record for wages abnd benefits. Records go back to 1982 and cover a period when we had 11% unemployment.

Six Health Mistakes. Diet soda, second opinions and other stuff.

Radio talk show kills J.D. Salinger. OK, this is an inside joke. I listen to a show called "Freewheelin" on the trucker channel of my satellite radio. Every time a host takes a vacation, someone famous dies. Last week, we were playing "Dead or Alive" where the host names a famous person and the callers compete to see who can answer correctly whether that person is still alive. Salinger came up and everyone said he was dead. Until Meredith looked it up and announced he was still alive.

Books for 2010

( Read more... )

4) Deviation IV-Bondage. Jodi Payne and Chris Owen. Last in the series. Short on bondage, long on relationship. Very good.

5) Alfred Hitchcock's Witches' Brew. A collection of 11 stories about magic and witches and the fae. All excellent quality and included Robert Bloch's "That Hell-Bound Train."

6) Eastern Standard Tribe. Cory Doctrow. I liked the world building but at heart this is just a cyberpunk edisonade. Smartest-kid-in-the-room is sitting on the roof of the asylum and tells us the tale of how he ended up there. An enjoyable read but doesn't hold up under contemplation.
