I'm just about done up to the latest issue (#93) of the G.G. Need to check the "Salvation Sequence" out from the library again so I can reread the first and continue through #2 and #3.

I also picked up an archive of Raspberry Pi magazines with articles and projects I might have to try fiddling with, since I've been building test fixtures and circuits for some boards at work.

I am re-reading Privateer series; classic young adult sci-fi space opera. (Jamie McFarland)

For hardware related to the Raspberry Pi, I like shopping at Spark's Fun site in Colorado - or Ada Fruit out of NYC. Last time I checked, MicroCenter also carried some of the hardware kits in stock at the Denver store.

My Civil War knowledge is lacking. Figure'd I would start with a tome by Shelby.

"I'm Your Emotional Support Animal" by Adam Carolla.

Fricking hilarious and spot on in so many ways. Adam describes our descent into "woke" hell perfectly.

I'm a huge fan of his podcast and his comedic genius.

Started "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin DeBeck. About our instincts our sense of fear can be useful. At least so far as I've read.

Re-reading 'The Forgotten Soldier' by Guy Sajer. Top ten list for sure.

I'm sure list many of you have read this classic first hand account of a German (Alsatian) soldier during WW2 on the Eastern front. If not, read it.

Read some of the write up about him, in Vietnam War Stories.


During his eighteen months in Vietnam, Allen Ace Cozzalio was shot down six times. On several other occasions he brought his Loach back home so damaged from enemy fire that it was no longer flyable. He received every medal for valor except the Medal of Honor.

"The Invincible", by Stanislaw Lem, author of "Solaris" or more commonly known as the movie "George Clooney's Ass".

"The Invincible" is a rocket ship that lands on a planet where evolution has taken a strange turn. Very good.
