Been trying to work up the drive to get off the Net and breeze through this Italia/General Nobile book I brought with me to work...........................

In a world where everyone seems to have smart phones, I get along fine with a Razor. My older brother was teasing me, I think, saying I would have a smartphone next year but to that, I said "Why?" I spend 8 hours a day during the work week at something like this: 
and then I would want to go home and have the computer world on a small screen in my hand? That's nuts! No, thank you, I talk on my phone, I type on my keyboard..................... ......................and I read these archaic things known as "books". _____________________________________________________________________ ("If you say so, Mr. Bond."––-Scaramanga, (w,stte), "TMWTGG") |

Well, I'm into it!
I like books like this, very easy, if I'm not speed reading, to get caught up in what it was like.
