A good friend mentioned he wants to read kindle books available at Amazon.com but the $200 he needs to drop on a kindle book reader is a lot of money. Hell yes. I agree.

I downloaded the free software and can read any kindle book I want. Its easy, fast, reliable.

I love having the application on this laptop. As a minimalist, one digital machine is enough for me to deal with, keep updated, dry, clean, safely stored, yeah, like that.

I have my music, movies, WiFi, word programs, online banking, and more all on this one ultra portable computer. Then, I went whole hog and bought a two year subscription to Norton anti virus because I like things to last and minimize my required attention to mundane things. I do use DVD writeable disks to back up all my photos, documents and music, just in case this one major piece of equipment bites the dust.

The link is at the right hand at the top of this blog for the free download:

The Kindle application which makes this possible is free and found at Amazon.com.
Download for PC There are no shipping or handling fees, and it doesn't matter which country you live in. Within minutes you can be reading e-books.

My guy and I love a good series, like Breaking Bad, Dexter, Six Feet Under, Gold Rush Alaska.

Netflix allows you to surf around reading descriptions and put them in your "instant queue" which means if you're like us, you have way more waiting to see than you will ever be able to see in your lifetime.

Today I took a break from my marathon of writing to watch Survivors, a 12 episode series about a super bug virus getting loose in England, killing off 90% of the population and being exported to USA and China.
The scenario is frighteningly possible. They take pains to show us how easily we contaminate each other in our daily interactions. A believable false reassurance is broadcast to the population and the grid finally goes down as the workers die off.

It made me want to stock up on more food, just so we wouldnt have to go to town and catch something.
The genre you find this series in is called TV Sci-Fi Fantacy. We've been hearing about super bugs so long I don't think this should be called fantacy any longer. More like, Self-Quarantine Promotion.

There are a few survivors, one who has recovered from a near death infection, several who just were immune. We see them leave the metropolis, knowing no good can come of urban competion for the few goods that remain.
A school teacher trys to convince one of the necesity of relearning the basic skills.

I'm looking forward to the rest of this series produced in 2008. Sometimes the british accents are hard to understand (I thought the lady was asking her husband for a pizza, she was asking for her son, Peter!) and they use a few words we Americans don't. But, its worth taking a look at if you get a chance.

We all know that normal people are being hurt by the actions of the Wall St firms. Speculation creates bubbles, bubbles burst and we are the ones who suffer. 1.3 trillion dollars worth of speculative transactions are done each day, that is more than 50 times the amount of commericial transactions. The mainstream media won't touch this because they are owned by Wall St firms. This is an effort to raise awareness, to direct people, and give people a voice. On October 6 there will be another March on Washington. I honestly believe that if we do not affect some form of positive change that we are headed for a violent outbreak in this country.--T.W.

I'm a member of an online community which is all about seasonal workers, at National Parks, Resorts, Beaches, Private Ranches, etc. A member posted a blog stating that during the off time, perhaps we should become part of this  campout.

I asked specifically :
Hi T,
The news media is sure keeping quiet on this one. What are their goals? I caught a short glimpse of people being arrested yesterday for blocking sidewalks. What is the objective here, just publicity, Wall Street CEOs fired, spread the bonus money around?


He posted the above response. I thought it was well written, politicians take note!
Sorta what I was talking about earlier today!

I watched In the Money yesterday, a news program on CNN, and Bill Maher. I know! Both liberal leaning stations.

But the same thread was evident in both broadcasts. We're in the midst of a new reality, a "generational reset" of expectations that began and still continues, sence 2008. Michael Moore was part of Bill's panel. I like him if for no other reason the guy will say what he thinks, passionately.

At the end of Maher's show, most of the people present agreed a turning point, a peaceful revolution was building. People have had enough, yet the momentum has not reached the tipping point.

Knowing CEOs get paid ungodly bonuses while 14 million are unemployed and 17 million are underemployed (like Dad working for McDonald's, part time, that kind of thing) and the government paid 16 bucks for one lousy muffin and 8 bucks for a single dam cup of coffee....that's a $24 dollar breakfast http://news.yahoo.com/16-muffins-8-coffee-served-justice-audit-023623142.html .

Sort of makes the common person pissed.

All kinds of theories fly about how and when the people will reclaim their power. It sure won't be with any of the GOP candidates we currently see debating.

Just my two cents, anyways.

Two perfect presents from my man, a coffee pot for the wood burning stove, and an oil lantern.
I love them both, indispensable in an survival situation. A woman's got to have coffee, and percolated beats the hell out of instant. Candles are nice, but the amount of light, and safety of a good lamp is incredible.


Thank you sweetheart. You know me like an eagle soars the sky. Beautiful.

I'm sorta of the opinion that a person on a book cover makes a statement. This is a recent photo of me, taken by the driveway security camera about a month ago. I used it for the cover of my new book. I thought it said it all. Camo, weapon, prepared for all hell to break loose.

A friend asked if my profile photo was recent. Its actually several years old. Should I swap them out?
