I can’t stomach most King. My wife has every book he’s written.

That said, The Stand would be in my top 5 books ever. I’ve read it seven or eight times. 11-22-63 is also spectacular. I read it. Watched the Hulu mini-series and now am listening to the audio book.

Well that’s the end of me ever doing anything productive for the rest of my life.

And a new phrase entered our vocabulary

It was a bridge too far.

This was a great read. Thank you!

Hard disagree. No matter what someone does state-sanctioned murder is unacceptable. Full stop.

Then you don’t need to worry about someone being innocent or authority figures ignoring evidence.

State-sanctioned murder is an evil act.

It doesn’t matter if he was guilty or innocent. State-sanctioned murder is ALWAYS wrong.

Today is my wife’s birthday, when she opened her gift it was a reMarkable Pro. So far we’re both impressed.

Fully agreed very heavy.

Love love love these books.

Louis Lamour’s westerns are complete popcorn and fun to read

Fucking abhorrent behavior from the State.

I’m impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! 😉

6’6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5’1" tall.

When I was growing up my mom would always say “the tall girls are going to love you!” Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.

Wait what? Of course the outcome of the sale wrapped back to their hands. They wouldn’t have a job if there were no sale.

Everywhere I went, there they were calling through the fields…

“Gavin!”

Wandering the streets…

“Gavin? Gav?”

I couldn’t even finish a game of dominoes without it being interrupted…

“GAVIN!”

Finally one fateful day, stopping me and asking, “have you seen Gavin? Do you know where he is?”

Did the workers who made the physical device but profit from doing so?

Did the designers who designed the phone also not profit from doing so?

Neither of those groups was slave labor.

I’m a fan of capitalism, but not the kind of capitalism that decrees something is too big to fail and must be bailed out.
