I'm reading this interesting article from scientific American. The cover photo warrants some study.

Wow! 

Last time it rained for 40 day, I thought the flooding was a lot worse than that.

Nate, you were there. What was it like? ;D
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

If you remember the earth also opened the flood gates of the watery deep as well. That's why the flooding was worse.

You think it's coincidence that Nate and Noah both begin with the same letter?

a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that

What's the story line about?

It's about a father reading a bedtime story to his daughter and her constant interruptions and the result.

It's Zip's favorite. [thumbsup]

John Grisham "The last Juror"

I think this may be the best written book by him I've read.

Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks.

Next will be his Z War book. It's on the night stand. Want to read it before the movie comes out. ;) Get some! :D
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

My Song: A memoir: Harry Belafonte

Decided to finally start reading the James Bond books. Finished Casino Royale and Live and Let Die so far, and just downloaded Moonraker to start in on next. Loving the "borrow for free from your Kindle with Amazon Prime" option  ;D

You have that backwards. "A Song of Fire and Ice" is what the series is called. "Game of Thrones" is the name of the first book.

I recently read all the Ian Fleming books. Most of them were really good. I got Matador hooked as well.
Trying to finish the Sparrow. I got a little too depressed to go on for a while there  ;D

Finished American Rebel a bio of Clint Eastwood, if you are a fan at all you will like it alot.  He is a true rebel, and was born with the proverbial horseshoe up his arse.  His view of everything in life is how he lives it no holds barred,  basically calling all his shots and hitting them.

"But sire what are we to do.  You have taken all our weapons and now the heathen hordes are at the gate.  Are we to lie down and give them our lives.  Without weapons they will make us eat ourselves."
