    Well Izzy, you guys asked what I was reading now. A little later in the day a friend in Idaho was telling me about his friend, the ranger at Mt Ranier, who was killed recently by a young man suffering from PTSD. As that brought home my own mortality I re-read Meditation XVII by John Donne, the Anglican Cleric. I have included a link for online reading, in case you don't have a hard copy as I do. You may wish to read it.

    John Donne. Meditation 17. [No man is an island... For whom the bell tolls, etc.]
    Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775

    Quo Vadis?

    Luke 22:36, And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    I just got through viewing "Atlas Shrugged:Part 1". I've run out of fresh reading material, so I dug out my old paperback copy and am rereading, for the 8th or 9th time in the last 30+ years, "Atlas Shrugged". Who is John Galt?

    Right now One Second After. Good read. Also have been in Rawles book as well. I also downloaded about 50 free titles for the kindle last week. Several of those are collage level chemistry, math, physics, & history.
