Really enjoying my new Kindle 3

As if I didn't read a lot before... Have finished 'Lord of the Flies', which is kinda depressing, and most people have already read. Am in the process of reading "Ancient Rome, From the Earliest Times' and 'Mysterious Stranger' by Mark Twain, both of which were free downloads from the local library (online). Really interesting history of ancient Rome, and the stranger is Satan, who appears in a small town and encourages witch burning, raising money to buy people out of Purgatory and many other Christian rituals. I'm guessing Mark Twain was a non-believer. Also reading more Barry Eisler, one of my new favorites, and downloading audio books. You can also do newspapers and magazines. Nice toy to have, as we've been getting so much rain (over 5"), in the last couple o' weeks. I can see why Barnes and Noble said this last month was the first in which they sold more 'on-line', than paper, books. SO much more convenient. Our 'Sanctuary' golf outing got postponed, due to rain, so still got that to look forward to. Will take some pics, of one of the top courses in the country....

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...

Yahoo…Dotard’s Big Beautiful Diesel Deal pissed off Ukraine and most of the world, plus well over half of Congress and the US, BUT, it helped his buddy Putin and his partners in Big Oil, sooo, we can see where the dick’s priorities are.

  President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia would supply the global market with 4.8 million metric tons, or nearly 36 million barrels total.  This is equivalent to a little more than a single day of global demand.  The U.S. is a net diesel exporter so it does not need Russian supply, said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. Goldman Sachs estimated the initial Russian release would only reduce wholesale diesel prices by $1 to $2 per barrel, which is currently at approximately $200/barrel.
