Stranger in a Strange Land


Just started that book. I never read sci-fi, but had heard good things about it, and "Atlas Shrugged" wasn't in the library. Am about 100 pages into it and so far, like it. Speaking of liking it, just saw "Inside Man", a movie w/Denzel Washington, Jody Foster, Wilem Defoe, etc. FANTASTIC movie. I want to see it again. An amazing story. The other news of the day, I finally got my printer working. I have 3 HP printers and none of them could be installed. I tried everything I knew, and so did Ted, who's pretty good at that stuff. We wasted hours and hours. I called a computer repairman I found on Craig's List who came over and worked over 2 hrs. Long story short, my AOL security program, automatically downloaded by them, screwed it all up. Just passing this on in case anyone else has a similar problem. The more I hear of AOL, the more I hear about stuff like this. Am gonna get a new ISP. (Note, the picture goes with the title of the book)

Kari reminded me, as she loves to do whenever I make a mistake, that 'never' is not the right word for my sci-fi reading. I've read all of Ender and the the "Dark Tower" series, not to mention "Dreamcatcher", and such. Anyway, it's not my normal genre, although I do occasionally enjoy it.

Yay! The printer is working (finally). I can't stand AOL, though it seems like Norton Antivirus also screws up a lot of stuff on my computer (according to Nate).

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
