    Bourbon Discussion Thread

    Agree. There are plenty of good bourbons out there that are reasonably priced. I hate the snob factor. In fact, it recently dawned on me that I prefer Jack Daniel’s to some much more expensive contenders.

    Re: Nuclear War. You win! I thought I was capturing the crown for the summer’s most depressing reading, but I think you win. I just finished reading “The Devil’s Garden” by John R. Cencich. On the cover it says “A war crimes investigator’s story.” It is basically about the team of...

    Social Media for those of a certain age?

    I think this thread has already touched on the fact that your cellphone might be spying on you. Now we have a name that we can toss out at cocktail parties. Pegasus spyware. Pretty scary stuff. Not only can it access all your phone’s data, it can also secretly turn on your phone’s microphone...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    A lot of the TV shows from the 80s and 90s have not aged very well.

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    Speak of the devil. Pamplona’s famous running-of-the-bulls festival is this week! It runs from July 6-14. https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/07/pamlona-spain-running-bulls-san-fermin-festival/ Is the San Fermin Festival history’s very first example of a place/event being ruined by publicity...

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    We have just passed the anniversary of Hemingway‘s death (July 2) and are heading for his birthday (July 21). Another important anniversary, for me, is August 25; the day in WWII when Hemingway liberated the Ritz Bar in Paris. I always celebrate that one! :)...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    The sweet scent of maple syrup, moose, and Canadian Mounted Police.

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    LOL. Youth and their silly pranks. Too bad the poor young man will now have to go through life with the nickname “he who touched the devil’s thingamabob.” :)

    Great review, FF. I note that The Wheel Spins was published two years after Murder on the Orient Express. I love the British mystery on a train sub-genre. It is a unique window into a world that has disappeared. Ah! Aristocrats traveling by train during the inter war period. You can’t get...

    Oh, no! The legendary sword of Roland has been stolen from a French village! https://nypost.com/2024/07/03/world-news/french-excalibur-sword-vanishes-after-1300-years-lodged-in-a-rock/ I can only imagine that some nefarious arch villain needs the enchanted blade to fulfill a task that will...

    I love Bertie and Jeeves! I read several books in the series while commuting on the metro in DC. On not one, but two occasions i was chuckling so noticeably that women approached me and asked what I was reading that made me laugh so. There you have it: if you are in the market for a...

    Well. This might be interesting. Especially since the ufo/uap topic has been pretty quiet for about 6 months. What has happened to David Grusch? what has happened to the follow up congressional hearings that were going to happen? I hear that a second attempt to ram through the Schumer amendment...

    Kitchen knives

    In our neighborhood there is a corner where a knife sharpening truck parks every Sunday afternoon. We have spoken to the guy, but have not yet taken our steak knife set or our cooking knives down to him. As I recall, he quoted us about $100 or a little less to sharpen the whole lot (about a...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    Personally, I’m waiting for someone to correctly solve the combination lock test. Famous reincarnation researcher Dr Ian Stevenson (U of Virginia) devised a “test” whereby people would make up their own unforgettable six word jingle which they could then convert into a combination lock...

    One of the recent books I’ve read on this exact topic is “Encounters” by Dr D.W. Pasulka. She is a professor of religious studies at UNC who was sucked down the UFO rabbit hole when she postulated if “UFOs are a new, modern religious phenomenon.” In the process she ran into things that are...

    Night vision for the average person! Sounds cool at first glance. …but the article doesn’t mention that this invention might also be a boon for criminals. https://newatlas.com/technology/night-vision-thin-light-lens/ Still, with “communicators”, translation software, google at your fingertips...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Not to mention discursive.
