I have to admit to not having the faintest idea how to get pictures on to this thing, but here goes. If it hasnt worked you have missed nothing.

I have to admit, I grinned. Almost as much as I grinned when Wei Wong was reporting on how Wong Wei (not kidding, both names are real) had crashed his plane into a US spy plane.

Here is a picture of the result:

What would you like to say about books?

Nothing in particular. I'm always on the lookout for a recommendation. I've been on a Cormac McCarthy kick for a while but I've read pretty much everything he's published so I'm looking for something new.

I suppose it all depends on which part of the journey through life you presently find yourself on. I am doing my best to cover all those books I should have read years ago. My debt to myself I suppose. Re-reading a few lighter tomes too.

I think Beefy's a fan of Heinlein, but I could be mistaken...

The Book of Basketball The NBa According to the Sports Guy by Bill Simmons

Only 50 pages in but it is awesome and hilarious!


Oh, and I got the new biography of Ayn Rand. I'm sure you all will love that one as well.
