Lake Mills 175th Anniversary
175th Anniversary
I was going to go around this past weekend and take photos of the many events that were scheduled. I did not do so. My family did attend the car show on Sunday.
The Handy Man tries out a Ferrari.
The "upper" grill off a Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner. One of two Fairlanes at the car show.
Panoz Esperante. The owner said the company only built about 230 of these. The owner told me the exact number but I cannot recall it, look it up yourself.
I guess this came from Germany. That makes sense since this badge was on a Porsche.
Lotus Europa Special. This puts the driver and passenger incredibly close to the ground.
Renault 4CV. My apologies but I do not know any insulting jokes about French cars.
Edsel grill. A face only Sheriff Dan Rhodes could love.
1930s MG Midget that won the overall judging and peoples choice award. The car was highly polished with copper tubes routed all around the engine bay. There is no way the Midget's owner drove the car here.

New Guy, Old Guy, North Country
Fiction
Northwest Angle by William Kent Krueger. Continuing character Cork O'Connor is on vacation in Lake of the Woods, MN. Someone is dead. Infant boy is found. Cork has to protect boy from bad guys.
Crimes in Southern Indiana by Frank Bill. First book by short story writer. "The union jobs and family farms that kept the white on the picket fences have given way to meth labs, backwoods gunrunners, and bare-knuckle brawling." Bill has gotten a lot of raves from other writers, like Anthony Neil Smith who will teach our writing workshop on Nov. 5th.
Heartwishes by Jude Deveraux. "An Edilean Novel." Edilean?
Only Time Will tell by Jeffrey Archer. First in a new series about 1920s guy from the English docks who wins scholarship to a prestigious school. Sounds like that novel by that one guy. You know who I mean. I had to read the book in high school.
Liquid Smoke by Jeff Shelby. Surfer mystery by author in Texas. These are supposed to be good. Try reading Winslow's Dawn Patrol for surfing comparison. Then email the author you liked the least and complain at him. Writers love that.
End of Days by Robert Gleason. Some lady who has stockpiled for apocalypse finds out about a plot for apocalypse. The flyleaf's plot description is very confusing.
The Most Dangerous Thing by Laura Lippman. I'm attending Bouchercon in St. Louis in a couple weeks. Lippman is scheduled to be there. She sells a lot of books. I think if I run into her I'll say something like. "Oh, do you write books?"
A Trick of the Light by Louise Penny. Inspector Gamache investigates another murder in the small Quebec town of Three Pines. The mortality rate in Three Pines is worse than that of Bill Crider's Blacklin County.
Kill Me If You Can by James Patterson and Marshall Karp. I saw a television advertisement for this book. Patterson is not scheduled for Bouchercon in St. Louis. He is probably too busy counting his money.
The Cut by George Pelecanos. Another guy with a big following among fellow writers. Former soldier who served in Iraq has a new job in D.C.: "recovering stolen property, no questions asked, as long as he gets his cut - 40 percent."

I will have to holler at the Pages to get working on the processing. Here is something I just heard on BBC's 6 Music channel. 6 Music is my favorite radio station.

Stray Dog in the Library
Stray Dog
A girl came in the back door last night (August 24th) amidst lots of barking. I asked her if the dog outside was hers. She nervously said no. Her grandmother was still outside getting barked at and both were a bit scared of the dog.
I called 911 to get animal control - which for Lake Mills is contracted through the Humane Society. A local police officer showed up and tried to loop a dog catcher noose but the dog was too skittish and skittered away. The Officer was patient and trying not to injure or the dog, or get bitten.
The dog was not aggressive. He was just nervous and barky. Really barky. Woof, woof, woof, woof, bark, bark, woof, woof. The dog was hanging around the back door and not wandering off. I let him inside to see if that would calm him down and he did not.
Neither of us could coax the dog into the squad car. The dog had looked all over the library but was not satisfied that whoever he was looking for was not there. I left about fifteen minutes after close and the PO stayed for the dog catcher.

Nothing New - Musical Interlude
Musical Interlude
Liam Finn, as mentioned below by Dunedin, is the son of Neil Finn. Our copy of I'll be Lightning has circ'ed 17 times. I ordered the next album, Fomo, which releases this fall.
Off the first album.
Liam and the rest of his family were part of the 7 Worlds Collide concerts in Kiwi-land. Neil Finn invited musicians to Auckland to collaborate. The second album from 2009, The Sun Came Out, features songs and performances by several well-known musician types. A lesser known Kiwi dude is Don McGlashan.
I really like the whole double album of Sun. There is a neat tune by the bassist from Wilco, John Stirratt. This one is by Johnny Marr and Jeff Tweedy, Too Blue.

Split Second Dexter Has to Suck It and See This Morning

Split Second by Catherine Coulter. No author photos on most large print books.

Dexter: the fifth season starring James Remar. Remar was always good at playing the bad guy. I watched season one of this but kept getting the plots from novels and tv episodes confused. The gal who plays Dexter's sister was rail thin.
Digital Music Even If No One Refers to CDs as Digital Music
Suck It and See by The Arctic Monkeys. [Comment withheld]
This Loud Morning by David Cook. [No comment to withhold]
The guy with the ear? Man, I have no idea...

Books, Music, Tom Piccirilli
Fiction
Every Shallow Cut by Tom Piccirilli. This novel has received very good reviews. I know because Piccirilli always links to them. I think the story has something to do with a road trip and murder. Since this is a Piccirilli book I almost guarantee a muscle car in the story.
Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin. This won a Big Time Novel Award. Two guys grow up as friends until one is suspected in a girl's disappearance. Twenty years later the same guy is suspected in another disappearance and the other guy is a cop.
With A Little Luck by Caprice Crane. The cover says: Teenage romance. The back says: Adult romance in Los Angeles radio station.
Ellis Island by Kate Kerrigan. Irish woman travels to New York in 1920s to make money for injured husband at home. Will she return to Ireland or stay in the U.S.?
Set the Night on Fire by Libby Fischer Hellmann. Hellmann's books check out here. This one came out last December. Don't tell anyone I missed the pub date. Hellmann Fact: She's a nice lady and does not look like her vertically smooshed author photo.
Spiral by Paul McLuen. Thriller with nanorobots, scientists, and a lousy cover.
Only Mine by Susan Mallery. Paperback contemporary romance.
Angela Sloan by James Whorton, Jr. 14-year-old girl's CIA agent father disappears. She tries to find him in post-Watergate D.C. "A priceless coming-of-age story about stealing diner food and salvaging lost identities."

Fiction
The Adjustment by Scott Phillips. Post-War Wichita, KS is an airplane town. Built on cattle drives, the town now runs on airplane manufacturing. Army vet Wayne Ogden is out to destroy Collins Aircraft and its founder. But, in return, Wayne is being blackmailed. Corruption, violence, illicit sex and booze, innocent romance. Phillips does real good work.
The Devil All the Time by Donald Ray Pollock. Rural residents of Southern Ohio and West Virginia followed over 20 years. I read Pollocks short story collection Knockemstiff after reading a recommendation from author Craig Davidson. Knockemstiff was good.
Cold Vengeance by Preston and Child. Revenge and international settings.
The Sixes by Kate White. Lame cover with a motif you have seen a million times.
Victory and Honor by W.E.B Griffin and William E. Butterworth IV. Spy operations at the end of world war two.
Darkness My Old Friend by Lisa Unger. Cover has a girl running through foggy, dark woods.
The Pack by Jason Starr. Starr does suspense and crime novels. Laid off dad meets other dads in a park. Joins them for drinks. Starts to change...
Wild Rose by Jennifer Donnelly. Romance.
Devil Colony by James Rollins. My enthusiasm is fading.
Iron House by John Hart. I am almost finished.
Death Factory by Joe Domenici. Ah, finished. Now to add italics and and post this thing.

36th Precinct starring That Other Gerard, Frenchmen. Armed robbers are on a crime spree. The first police lieutenant who catches the gang gets the police chief job. Competition ensues. Shotgun violence follows.
Jesse Stone: No Remorse starring Mustache, William Sadler. Jesse Stone story based on Parker's characters but penned by Mustache and Michael Brandman. Bill Crider says, "[nothing]". Well, I guess he either did not watch it or never blogged about it.
Source Code starring Jake Welsh-y. Soldier goes back in time to stop a bombing on a railway and get a date with a passenger.
Ironclad starring Brian Cox, Derek Jacobi, Armor, Swords, CGI. "The devastating battle for Rochester Castle is a true story of honor, action and excitement."
Music Inscribed Onto... You Get the Idea
Join Us by They Might Be Giants. Songs.
Legendary Weapons by Wu Tang. My brother once bought me a Wu Tang Clan CD. I have no idea why he did that. I kinda liked it but could not understand what the guys were saying.
