  1. @5woodrabbit Yes, the novels are unabridged. I wouldn't have them any other way.
  2. A large white egret came right up to our door today. And tonight, the full moon hanging over the warm sea is beautiful.
  3. Curt and I both have colds (not starting the flu, we hope) -- not a great way to begin the vacation we've been looking forward to...
  4. @DunnettCentral So far I'm enjoying the audiobook of Game of Kings -- enough to have order all the other ones, too!
  5. Need vacation from mad preparations for going on vacation ;)
  6. FAA also failed with that errant Northwest/Delta jet--they delayed in notifying military of jet's odd behavior: http://bit.ly/2Rl3ja
  7. H1N1 vaccine shortage is putting the Obama administration on the hot seat -- and rightly so. http://bit.ly/4xVMyj
  8. Re-reading (actually I'm listening to) one of my all-time favorite novels: Dorothy Dunnett's The Game of Kings.
  9. I checked again with our town's health dept today on H1N1 vaccine -- it's the end of October, and they still have none.
  10. Yay -- my Celtics won their first game this season: http://bit.ly/2RSPxQ. Curt watched, but I was raiding in Middle-earth :)
  11. FAA grounds "extremely reckless" pilots who overflew their destination and ignored ATC (air traffic control) http://bit.ly/1BjEL1
  12. It now seems those errant Delta pilots were playing with their laptops instead of flying the plane http://bit.ly/2yya0o
  13. Pilots "distracted" while flying Airbus 320, lose contact with controllers, & overshoot airport by 150 miles! http://bit.ly/4jUNgw
  14. Debate over the evolutionary lineage of "Ida" and her relationship to humans. http://bit.ly/4iq72d. I love this type of debate!
  15. Shortages of both H1N1 vaccine & seasonal flu vaccine in Mass. Glad it's not an avian flu pandemic we're facing. http://bit.ly/3bhX32
  16. Public health dept in my town (outside Boston) is canceling all H1N1 flu shot clinics for Nov. Why? No vaccine will be available. /FAIL
  17. My cat is stalking a chipmunk that got into the house. It's hiding under a sofa chirping in fear. Attempts to get it to exit have failed.
  18. CDC: The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was above the epidemic threshold. http://bit.ly/UkWDA
  19. Link to CDC's latest weekly report on swine flu H1N1: http://bit.ly/UkWDA
  20. Swine flu has killed 11 more kids this past week. This is NOT typical of seasonal flu and is very worrisome. http://bit.ly/8QZQs
