I'm sitting in a rest area outside of Lansing, MI and getting ready for bed. Got out of the yard with minimal spinning due to some great plowing by Paul at work. Thank you, Paul. The roads were fine by the time I got going and MI didn't get much of anything so it should be smooth sailing from here on out.
Finished an excellent book yesterday by Stephen Hunter called "Pale Horse Coming". I've never read anything of his but I really was sucked into this one. Seemed like every time I had the story figured out it would twist again. Guess I've got a new author to read now. Sheila had just finished Stephen King's new book "Duma Key" so I started that and brought it with me. I hope to finish it before I fly out Saturday. Don't need any more fines.

"Life is still just life"
This is a near-quote from my favorite book, Lonesome Dove , by Larry McMurtry. Augustus McCrae, a fun-loving old Texas Ranger speaks. "You'd be better off if you could just enjoy a poke once in a while." Augustus said, taking one of her hands in his and smoothing her fingers. "Life in San Fransisco is still just life. If you want one thing too much it's likely to be a disappointment. The healthy way is to learn to like the everyday things, like soft beds and buttermilk-and feisty gentlemen."

MI. Is that Michigan or Minnesota?
MI is Michigan. Minnesota is MN. Maryland is MD, by the way and Ohio is CYA!
and MO is Missouri and MS is Mississippi, and MT for Montana, but I can't remember Manitoba.
Manitoba is MB, we just got back into the US and headed to MN, just to be headed back to NY and then PA. Gotta love trucking!
TX! Here I come!
Stephen Hunter is good if you're a guy. Very manly stuff like guns, and more guns. He's a movie critic for the Washington Post and definitely has a different style and viewpoint than the usual critics. Lots of fun.
