allergic to anything that contradicts Fox's version of reality, which makes sure fishing and alligators are discussed all evening, I think I could finish it in a week of going to bed early.

I've read the book 2 or 3 times.

My book is in storage.

After the little chat that trump just read, and his total incompetence to deal with the situation, its just about panic time. I have asthma and some other respiratory issues, and we're both over 60.

has really been on my mind this week and I told a co-worker that it was scary how prophetic Stephen King was. Couldn't remember the name of the illness. I'm going to have to dig out my copy and read it again.

It took them from 2008 to 2012 to do it, but, wow, it was worth the wait.
