A Pleasant Day Slightly Spoiled by Chicken Manure
Pleasant Day
A nearby farm must have spreading their chicken manure this morning. The smell only slightly disturbed the sunny and pleasant weather.
Some Sort of Coffee Cake
I found this in the staff break room. These food items are always appearing. So I eat them.
Fiction
Mercy Kill by Lori Armstrong. Sequel to No Mercy which circ'ed well. Former sniper Mercy Gunderson is adjusting to he new post-Army life in in South Dakota. Mercy's part-time bartender work is must by a murder in her bar's parking lot.
Satori by Don Winslow. "A Novel based on Trevanian's Shibumi" I read Shibumi and the novel was entertaining but far-fetched. Nicholai Hel is 26 years old and in solitary confinement in 1951 Japan. The Americans promise freedom and a passport if he travels to Beijing and kills a Russian.
