Maureen Dowd and Elizabeth Edwards

“The really complicated question is what she hopes to gain from this book.” writes Maureen Dowd about Elizabeth Edwards. The wife of presidential candidate John Edwards has written a book Resilience that addresses her husband’s affair with Rielle Hunter. Well, I imagine Mrs. Edwards will be making some money from the sale of [...]

Alternatives to amazon

Here are some suggested alternatives to amazon: ArkivMusic Barnes & Noble And for the U.K.: Crotchet Classical Music

amazon

The #amazonfail brouhaha at twitter is growing. Amazon has foolishly removed the sales rank from books that address gay and lesbian topics in a positive way, even biographies, acknowledged works of literature, and children’s books. Because of that, the books will not show up when people browse for best-selling books. But books [...]

Taxes

“The governor and Democratic lawmakers in New York will attempt to patch an $18 billion budget deficit by imposing much higher taxes on the richest residents, joining several states considering such a move this year,” says an article in the Wall Street Journal. I understand that some people’s work may tie them closely to one state, [...]

Summer reading

Some of my summer reading arrived in the mail today from amazon.fr. Although my spoken French has become rusty, I still try to read a few books in French every year to maintain my knowledge of the language. I have enjoyed reading some of the books about Nicholas Le Floch, a sort of [...]

Without electricity for a few hours

I have had a busy day. The electricity went off around 3:30 in the afternoon during a thunderstorm. Eventually when it was not coming back soon, I went to a Starbucks, came home and found still no electricity, and so traveled into the office to do some work there. I'm home now and the electricity is working.

I saw that a new member had posted messages about a webcam, and so I banned that member.

Parade in Bristol, Rhode Island

I went to the Fourth of July parade in Bristol, Rhode Island, again this year.  The parade this year did not have quite so many interesting marching bands as it did last year, and at times my interest flagged.  One interesting feature this year was that during lulls in the parade some young people volunteered [...]

Organic milk

The milk that I buy is almost always organic.  I was surprised to see that an article in today’s Boston Globe says, “Sales of organic milk have plunged and farmers who got lucrative deals from a dairy industry that was thirsty for the stuff now can’t get rid of it. The volume of organic milk [...]

Chipmunk crossing the street

I have noticed the chipmunk who lives in my back yard is spending a lot of time in a front yard across the street.  I don’t like to see him cross the street because he does not do it very carefully.  He just makes a mad dash and hopes for the best.  The attraction across [...]

Star Wars figures and chipmunks

Chris McVeigh, a Canadian illustrator, captured images of wild chipmunks in hilarious situations with action figures from the Star Wars films for telegraph.co.uk.

Plastic surgery

Would my appearance be improved by plastic surgery and the use of injectables?  Maybe somewhat.  But I could probably accomplish a similar change by subtle use of cosmetics.  I certainly have no plans for surgery or injectables. The Instant Makeover Tool can be found at newbeauty.com.
