Somehow that article made me feel even more guilty about having abandoned reading.

BTW, finished Beautiful Girls. Now I guess I have to go to Borders and pick up the last one in hardcover for the plane ride. If I have to take hardcover on a plane, at least this is a small book.

Drove into the Catalina Mountains this morning to see the scene of those horrible fires a couple of months ago. So very sad, all thos tall black sticks standing straight up, looking melted, like a nuke had hit. The devastation wasn't as widespread as I had thought, though, and that area is still drop-deal gorgeous.

Even if I did have a flat tire on a rental car with only two hundred miles on it. And I couldn't reach their emergency roadside service from up there with my cell phone. I hadn't even thought about the possibility of ever changing a tire since they came out with radials decades ago. It took me about a mile--down curvy roads with no guard rails, before I even recognized what it was. And even then I had to get out of the car and look before I recognized it. LOL.

Saw this in the local paper just after we discussed librarians. It saddens me to know that others don't appreciate shushing as I do.
