Oh Look! Cows!

I wonder.

Should I be worried that some days I have the attention span of a TV channel changer?

Probably. But I'm on to other things now.

By the way, one of those other things I'm on to includes Armageddon, by Max Hastings. Good friend Martin in England evidently thought I was lacking in reading material, so he sends me this book on the last year of World War II. It looks like a fascinating read. I've promised myself, however, that I've got three other books in the queue to read before I can get to this one.

Thanks, Martin.

The Best Part

Kerplunk! by Patrick F. McManus

Admittedly, I myself was getting a little tired of the advances in technology. It used to be that all the different kinds of wackos sat out in their little isolated cabins or apartments somewhere. Each went through an entire lifetime without seeing another wacko of his particular ilk. Now a wacko can get on the Internet and find the other nine wackos in the world who are just like him.

McManus goes on to say they get to gether to decide what to blow up, but given the Unabomer lived in an isolated cabin as a Luddite and still managed to blow things up, there's a little flaw in McManus' logic. Nevertheless, I see where he's going with this.
