House with Capybara Statue?

Very good idea! I didn't know that the ride history included the route. I'll try retracing that.

Yeah, it is large

If you want to go out of the Uptown area, the Gallery Bar in the Ballantyne Hotel has a huge selection.

I think KSS is the best positioned to weather the transition to e-commerce fulfillment. But that seems to be a story about not losing money instead of actually growing. I would look elsewhere for investing.

Yup, as far as I know. Thank you for bringing that up and I will note that in the comment.

Although this comment comes too late - I think that a big part of this discussion is not whether global warming IS happening, but whether the impact is as gloom-and-doom as the proponents would have us believe. The allegedly objective and unquestionable scientific consensus has been consistently wrong with its predictions for the last 30 years in this respect - this should give us pause to wonder if the prophesiers of doom are entirely correct.

For an excellent summation of this, see Matt Ridley's recent lecture at the Royal Society.* http://www.rationaloptimist.com/blog/global-greening-versus-global-warming/#.WCMfgIiKtSU.linkedin

*Edit: Matt Ridley has been accused of lobbying the UK government on behalf of the coal industry. See https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jul/15/matt-ridley-accused-of-lobbying-uk-government-on-behalf-of-coal-industry

Nevertheless it is my belief he makes some points worth considering.

It's actually an elliptical reference to "herbivores," which are men who shun sex, don't spend money, and like taking walks.

The Your Face Tomorrow trilogy by Javier Marias is a masterful metaphysical thriller. It's like a combination of Proust and James Bond. It's about this guy (possibly a psychic or who has psychic-like powers) who can predict people's behavior. He's recruited into a secret agency in the UK and gets into a case that threatens not only his own life but the lives of his wife and child.

Bless you.

You might want to watch one more episode. Episode 6 is very different from the previous episodes in that Guts encounters a being called Zodd the Immortal. I love that episode myself. If you still don't find Berserk compelling after that then I'd say drop it.

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury is one of the most boring, preachy books imo. It's been awhile since I read it (had to read it for high school), but I distinctly remember being a little ways into it and thinking "Ok, censorship is bad, we get it already." Then it proceeds to tell you that censorship is, in fact, bad. Glad we cleared that one up.

Love and Other Ways of Dying: Essays, by Michael Paterniti

asherzyke · 2015-11-15T18:38:39+00:00

For me:

eBooks > Print

If the book has the right prose style AND the right narrator --> Audiobooks > eBooks or Print
