Well for the children of the night there is a comet named Neowise that can be seen this month.https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecar...

It should be visible from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, though rise/set times and height above the horizon will vary with latitude.
And yes I know that comets during plagues have a long history of awful things, but it isn't going to hit us so we got that going for us.

Wow, that's really cool!!
You would have to read the What are you Reading thread John. it's all there.
I would have believed you had you not tried to entice me with free books lol.
I'm just joshing the stack of kindle swearing was a nice touch lol.
I can get behind audio books... I've listened to one or two or seven. Who knows.
On a different note, has anyone watched Captain Kronos and is it any good?

Oh and here is the definition if you think it is a bunch of bunk! LOL :)

The lead's name is that of a mr. Horst as in a Horst a Horst of course a wonderful Mr. Ed...I am so sorry.
Your jedi mind trickery will need to be stronger, my Kung Fu is strong lol.
I can settle the Kindle debate quick, fast, and in a hurry. My Kindle has given me rapid and cheap (often free) access to numerous titles. It allows for easy participation in beta reads through file sharing. And as a tablet the Kindle Fire is a far better value than any IPad.
Now that I've incurred the wrath of the Apple fanboys, here's an interesting automata vampire which popped up on my recommends.https://youtu.be/rkDzDMclCBU
Something about that thing makes me think that there is a really disturbing story to be written about it.
i hate to say it but they also save space
that was pretty neat J. thanks for sharing!
Most of the libraries in my area are pretty sparse on what I like to read so I end up ordering most of my reading materials. I can see the appeal of the kindle I'm just stubborn, I like the feel and smell of paper books.

lol I can't workout and read at the same time. That is impressive that you can Vickie.
CalebCW wrote: "lol I can't workout and read at the same time. That is impressive that you can Vickie."Thanks, lol. It's the only thing that makes it tolerable for me. Watching tv or listening to music does not work.🤷🏼♀️😊
I can't watch the TV while working out either. it's gotta be music, Unleash The Archers or some other metal group for this guy lol.

That's pretty cool.
John wrote: "Yup, and Kindles are way more sanitary than library books."This is so true!!
I have two memories of physical library books. Both memories are years ago too. The first memory was back in the early 90's and I had borrowed a library book (do not ask me what is was - that memory is gone - lol) but the middle of the book was badly stained with what looked like drops of coffee? (not sure) through about ten pages of the book. It was like someone had had been sipping coffee and "dripped" droplets of it all over the pages. I didn't even finish the book. Took it back. The second memory is worse than that one. Early 2000's I borrowed a library book (different library too) and this time the inside of the book had red print stains through the pages - like someone had been bleeding and left their fingerprints all over the pages! I didn't finish that book either!
I do not do well with any kind of stains in books from libraries.
Personally I think the books need to be inspected before they are put on shelves for readers. Now before you all go off on a tangent (LOL) about how hard it is to go through library books to check them out - I will tell you that I worked in a library for five years and we checked out all the books before they were put out on the shelves for public use.
If there were anything wrong at all with the books then they would go in a bin that would be put out for sale - then if the patrons wanted to buy them they could and if they didn't buy them then the books would end up being tossed if they were in bad shape. It was rare they were tossed but it did happen.
One time we had a book series that some of the books had two or three chapters of pages missing from the books. Those had to be tossed. No one wants to read books with pages upon pages missing.
Wow - I did have a lot to say on the matter!
My library is pretty reasonable with their books. I think the one time I got a book the spine was pretty questionable but aside from that, the books have been in relatively decent shape. I would hope that through this pandemic, libraries have been going through books more thoroughly especially with reopening to the public (sanitizing, checking books for damage, etc.)
CalebCW wrote: "On a different note, has anyone watched Captain Kronos and is it any good?"i watched it a very long time ago. i can't remember if it was good or not. sorry!
CalebCW wrote: "I... I have not watched True Blood."If your gonna watch it, i wouldn't read the books. do one or the other. I did not like the show very much. i love the books.
CalebCW wrote: "Most of the libraries in my area are pretty sparse on what I like to read so I end up ordering most of my reading materials.

FYI- some kindle books are lendable. that helps a lot.
So I made it over here. Got my coffin, got my cat, got my books- I'm A-OK!

So, one dark and stormy night, this little automata breaks free and goes on a blood-drinking rampage...
I watched the librarians at one of my libraries sanitize the books, I was so proud.
Thank you for the advice for True Blood Latasha I shall follow it!
I have the habit of getting library cards from multiple libraries too Latasha lol. I was going to the special collections one here at the university it's full of horror, sci fi, and fantasy but with the pandemic my favorite library went down with the sickness.

LOL!! Well one consolation on it is this: you would never have to worry about falling out of bed with the tossing and turning! If you were confined in a coffin - where would you go? LOL :)

About a decade ago coffins and caskets became a not uncommon project for woodworkers because if your family has to buy it for you, they're going to get hosed on the deal. Since a casket is too big of a case work project to build and then just store, many of the available designs served double duty as furniture. (It is just decorated case work.) The most common uses were book cases, chests, and strangely enough coffee tables.
John wrote: "lol I showed my wife and she said "No, someone might lock us in!""Then you could get an "open" casket bed with no lid!! :)

Latasha and I have decided to do a new chat thread and so any chatting can be done on this thread! Let's hear some "chatter" everyone!
