wanna play a game?
Grab the book or magazine closest to you (that is family friendly) go to page 51. Find the 5th sentence and post it here. :-) Tell us the name and author of the book. We might find new and interesting reading material that way.

"At that hour of the day, the weak sun was beating almost straight down on the roof and the light fell obliquely on the facade without illuminating the tumpanum: so after passing the two columns, we found ourselves abruptly under the almost sylvan vault of the arches that sprang from the series of lesser columns that proportionally reinforced the embrasures. -The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.

Cover loosely, and allow to rest at room temperature until the doug rises and collapses (or flattens on top); about 2-3 hours.

Before the birds are killed, heat a big canning kettle of water to boiling, and have a hose handy for washing thr birds and your work table., plus a washtub of ice water to put the birds into after they have been cleaned.

Well, "The Way Things Work" (highly recommended) has a drawing on that page, so I picked up a book I just finished re-reading.
"Twenty-five million worlds existed, each with its own endlessly complex history."
"Prelude to Foundation", Isaac Asimov
Asimov's Foundation novels are classics of science fiction. He interweaves social commentary into his stories and examines current cultures on earth under the guise of describing similar off-world cultural groups. Like many science fiction stories, you can read just the surface story, or you can examine and ponder the hidden meanings and deeper levels of the story.
For those interested in TEOTWAWKI stories, the Foundation series is about the end of the galactic empire as we know it. There are parallels that can be drawn.

Keest was running a regional legal aid office in Des Moines in 1984 when she picked up her first predatory mortgage case.
BROKE, USA - from Pawnshops to Poverty, inc. How the working poor became big business. Written by Gary Rivlin, pretty informative but more than a bit dry.

I excused myself to my blanket walled bedroom and changed out of my work clothes into something a little cleaner and drier; I wondered if my flannel-lined Carhartts's would ever come clean.
