BTW, Chicago will likely end the same way as Vietnam.

So, anyway, just a question:
Once ICE, the largest, most well financed, heavily armed & masked 'law enforcement' agency in America is done feeding 65 million people to the alligators, who's next?

At Radio City Music Hall, instead of a normal program, they gave me a big, blank, faux leather souvenir notebook.

I saw Jesus Christ Superstar in 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theater, which was later turned into a church.
Last night I attended Jesus Christ Superstar show at a community theater that once was a church.
And the weirdest thing about it was the bagpiper outside.

Rubio expels South African Ambassador Rasool while Trump welcomes white South Africans.
During Apartheid, Rasool's family was forced out of their home to make way for a whites only enclave.
Enough irony to change magnetic north.

I'm a retired cop, a writer, a historical fiction & Hemmingway fan, & been to Havana (a hot mess of a city). Det Conde is a great character. Loved the Four Seasons in Havana book & movie series. Adios is well translated and closes out the set perfectly.

Learning about lives you haven't lived is good for your soul, especially if those lives faced challenges and choices you'll never experience. This life was beautifully written.

Once upon a time I played an online air combat game, AirWarrior. The more realistic it became, the more you needed to understand actual air combat. Shaw's book was the bible.

This one required a lot of attention, but was written so well and convincingly. I confess a little 'confirmation bias' on the whole, and though there were a couple of items that I had doubts about, I might be wrong about them (incredible as that sounds).

Love good historical non-fiction. Well written account of the BoB, the first real indication that Dowding was a smart man who planned ahead, and Hitler was an evil moron who believed his own press releases.

Leper transported into a fantasy land where he wields the ultimate power, but refuses to believe in anything, especially not himself. Faces the ultimate evil while asking himself whether any of it really matters. 3rd in series of 9. Good stopping place.

Cornwell's take on the Arthur legend as narrated by a pagan witness is simply the best, using a more accurate description of the historical setting to get you re-thinking the whole 'chivalrous knight' thing. And Lancelot! My favorite among his many series.

Loved The Dead. Went to a performance at the American Irish Heritage Mansion in NYC, where you're just a guest at the party. Excellent food and booze, great music, great show. The street was quiet when we came out. It was very cold, but it didn't snow.
