Or maybe, not so holy. Just went out, daring the early rush hour traffic, to do a little grocery shopping. Coming out of the store I saw a headline on the local paper about an “animal” attacking a local boy in the Sandias. The unspecified “animal” reference intrigued me; looking a little closer (which [...] Is your supermarket ripping you off? Probably! It might just be worthwhile to stay alert. Specifically: make sure the price the item is offered at on the shelf is what you get charged. If you look closely, you just might find it often isn’t – that you get gouged a higher price. Just now I [...] Of course, the government-media complex is lying to us about what’s happening in Iraq. Not only is there no good news, a lot of what’s being sold as “good” is bad-to-disastrous – either regarded in statist terms, as in acting contrary to the political and strategic interests of the US, or in terms of its [...] For about the last two years I’ve read “The War Nerd,” Gary Brecher’s column for the English-language Russian alternative website The eXile, religiously. While I don’t always agree with him (big surprise, since I don’t always agree with anybody, including myself), Brecher knows his military history, as well as the broad spectrum of wars, large [...] As every schoolchild knows, an invaluable resource for any homeowner is having a Crazy Tree Guy. A Crazy Tree Guy is … wait. Is it possible there’s some part of that you don’t understand? He’s a crazy guy who works on trees! More to the point, a Crazy Tree Guy is very knowledgeable about trees, [...] So today I dropped a cool $124 and change on supplies at Costco. Eggs, facial tissue, olive oil … that sort of thing. I impulse bought a door mat for $19. Okay, so I’ve needed one for a couple years now. But it’s not a necessity. On the one hand I suppose I [...] Thanks to everybody who turned out for the signing. I told you a good time would be had by all. And what do you know …? I just had a big old boatload of fun Saturday at Page One. And as I said, I’m not even in the book. Although as [...] I can’t tell … and if you want some clues, go here. Click there now and check it out. Seriously. I’ll still be here when you get back. Y’all know, probably (and if you don’t, hang around a spell and it’ll all become abundantly clear) that I’m more than somewhat slightly skeptical and cynical about [...] Since I was rendered mentally fuzzy (okay, more so than usual) by the cruds the last couple weeks, I plumb neglected to announce this: Tor Books is launching the all-new Wild Cards volume Inside Straight with a gala mega-signing Saturday, February 2, 2008 at Page One Bookstore, Montgomery and Juan Tabo NE in Albuquerque, [...] Yesterday (technically, day before now; but I only count it as a new day if I’ve been to sleep) I was awakened by a whump from the front porch, followed by Emma barking furiously. By the time I found my robe and struggled into it and reeled to the front door I’d figured out, of [...] |
