Now my rant:

I wish those crazies would all drop dead on the spot. Some crazy first bashed in the head of a woman with a fire extinguisher and then, after a short chase, shot a 48 year old policeman, who died of his injuries. And this shortly after a huge incident in another part of the country, where another crazy started shooting in a shopping mall.

You guys really gotta read Amsterdam 2012. it will freak you the heck out to follow the news after reading it.

Just read the reviews and, nope, I think that's just what I want to move the other direction from.

Are you reading "Hal Spacejock?" it is lots of fun, and the book club selection for this month.

Love the title. No, I didn't check out the club titles this month. I will check out your suggestion though. Just started reading an interesting thread, and, that seems to get me interested. Maybe I'm a short story reader. Yes! I'm a short story reader. Next!

I've mentioned the peculiarities we have with each other's local expressions. My first thought was to rub it out. We use rubbers here to remove unwanted pencil marks. Apparently they have an entirely diffent connotation in the States.
