But the topic seemed to belong in political and so I tiptoed in. That one is nice.
But one time, several weeks ago, I got smacked around in political. It was not a lively discussion. That I can do. It was a smackeroonie. I had attempted to inject a wee bit of humor, you see. And I got called two names. One was "elitist" and one was "sexist." Me? There were some serious people in there in those days. But never underestimate my ability to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. I just walked away. -- actually I ran.
Hey, I think I am off topic here.
Oh well, back to Carl H. Maybe see if there is a paperback of "Stormy Weather." That one is my favorite and Skink is in it. It is about the sleaze that slither out in the aftermath of a hurricane.
The bad guys always get it though with Carl in charge. But the humor is slightly dark sometimes. I always describe CH's books as "Florida Meets Fargo."
And GG, why don't you just go get yourself a library card. That is a nice little library up there on the north side of the south side. GG, if you do not want to spend all your money at B&N, get thee to the library.

True confessions.
I was a library aide almost from the time I could read. I can still hear MISS FINCH shushing people and pulling books out to even them on the front of the shelves like she was annoyed people read them. I don't like most Librarians...sorry, they just all seem to want me to return books on time, and although I am almost compulsively responsible in other areas of my life, I am nearly passive-aggressive about returning books to the library.
