"The Martian", Chapters 6-21.

Nice day on the beach yesterday, so I read a lot. Several new characters as we switch POV back to Earth. Some more Science, some joy as communications are established, plans are hatched, foreign intrigues are schemed, and CNN reports. And the inevitable mistakes are made. But so far our plucky hero, who now has a last name as well as a first, is still alive and really getting tired of disco.

“You could move.' ---"Dear Abby" responds to a reader who complained that a gay couple was moving in across the street and wanted to know what he could do to improve the quality of the neighborhood.”
Abigail Van Buren

Octavia E. Butler
“Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
