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...

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...
