    "The Boy Who Shoots Crows," by Randall Silvis, about a boy who goes missing in the woods. Silvis is an excellent mystery writer with exceptional character development, although the stories can be devastating. I also liked "Two Days Gone," by the same author.

    Well I finished "Ego is the Enemy" a few days ago. And to be honest, I would highly suggest this book to anyone.
    I'm giving it to my 21 year old to read. Some great stories of men and women who were very successful and how if they let their Ego in, would have been failures. It puts a great outlook on how to control and tame the Ego.

    Currently on the night stand I have two books, the first one is The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman (a story about Warsaw zookeepers during the WWII) and the second is Most Dangerous by Steve Sheinkin (a story about Daniel Ellsberg and the secret history of the Vietnam War).

    Yup, we do have some doozies! Blinkin' yellow left turn (with caution against traffic) arrow instead of a yellow caution light. Right turn onto two lanes of 4 lane road under a red light. Good on ya! You be good next time over here!

    Just re-reading Gravity Dreams by LE Modesitt jr. Have re-read it many times for something over 15 years.
    About truth and honesty and love, a relationship between two individuals set against a future world after the devastation. Technical personal superiority is the background, Ethics vs. morality; which is which?

    This no parking sign that I think that a neighbor added to a questionable road closed sign placement. I spoke with a township supervisor to ask even if this is an illegal sign I wanted to know if the township has rules for no parking here. He told me that he knew of no rules against parking there.

    It is a minimum maintenance road that they close in the winter but where else would I park to walk into my land to check my bees.

    I read this many years ago and remember it as a really good book, so I decided to read it again. It sucked me right back in!

    Presently reading Sharpes Sword on my breaks at work, Pretty good Napoleaonic fiction and The Bad-Assed Librarians from Timbuckoo at home. Thats a really great bit of non fiction about trying to save old manuscripts first from the ravages of time then from radicals who want to destoy them.
