Holiday Update
Jan. 19th, 2015 10:18 amSince I find myself in front of a PC, although I'm at home and not at work, have some content.
A) Apparently, Here Gather The Stars AKA Way Station is a good book. I've ordered the most recent edition available, a book printed in 1980. That's 35 years ago - the year I was in 7th grade. It may be great, but it hasn't kept up its popularity.
B) On Saturday, I attended my local library's Local Authors Fair. Their definition of local was "Chicago area" so I was sitting next to a writer from LaGrange and just down the row from one on the north lake. I sold a few books and bought two: Patricia Skalka's Death Stalks Door County and Libby Fischer Hellman's Nobody's Child.
C) Flagged for further discussion: Z. K. Rosson's is there a better way to fight terrorism. I also bought his novel.
D: Because I'm feeling a bit ornery today, have this from Tyler Oakley:
White people: The Second Amendment gives us the right to carry assault rifles in Wal Mart.
White people: Because we need our guns to overthrow the government, as is our Constitutionally guaranteed right.
White people: When the tyrannical government is coming for our rights, what else are we supposed to do but make it clear to them that they can take our rights from our cold dead hands?
Black people: Cool. In that case, we're going to protest against the systemic racism that continues to infect this country.
White people: What? No, you should just obey the police.
