Book(s) Update

As I've been doing the past two weeks or so, I thought I'd update readers on my coming books. Unfortunately, I battled a pretty nasty cold last week, so I wasn't quite as productive as I would have liked. I'm through page 50 on two books with regard to adding smart aleck commentary for my footnotes. I'm feeling slightly better than I had been, so hopefully this will be a much more productive week. Once again, my goal is to get through all 185+ footnotes this week (yes, I like my research - a bit too much at times, it seems). I'll then have to proofread and edit the two books yet again, along with a few other finishing touches, before I'll be ready to receive my proof copies. With last week's setback and my birthday coming up on the 28th of this month, I'm guessing the books won't become available until early March at the very earliest. It's then my goal to have all four coming books out by the end of spring/start of summer. At that point, hopefully I can give my brain a little bit of a vacation (if it lets me). Well, that's the news for now. I'll be sure to send along another update next Monday. Back to work I go...

At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
