On a personal note Sharon is now 80 and lives with her daughter in northern Virginia, not too far from my sister. It sure will be great to be able to live on the road again...I hope I live long enough...and by all indications Storm is almost as bored as I. Returning to Jamestown next long drive with a destination of southwestern Nevada....enjoyed our time in Jamestown and look forward to exploring a little more and revisiting the library, which I missed on my last trip due to a death in the family...the cousin I visited there died at age 91. Anyway hope to take more pictures of places off the besten path. You never know what you might see.

He's an interesting author, A Muslim, now living in London, as a teenager his disenchantment with the rift between Egypt and Israel sent him on a journey to check the Koran, Biblical and Historical issues that created the major breaches between the two countries. This led him to the Joseph story because all his questions led back to Joseph and Moses.

A most interesting read of late was non-fiction. "How the Wild West Was Won" by Bruce Wexler. Fairly easy read but full of interesting history. Few people actually rode in the wagons going West but walked. Wagons were too uncomfortable and riding in the wagon added to the weight the animals had to pull. He writes a lot about the gun fighters. Turns out there really was an outlaw known as Black Bart. One of the few that never walked both side of the law was Bill Tilghman. Most of his career was as a lawman. His philosophy was that he never drew his gun unless he intended to shoot. Breaking that rule cost him his life when a fugitive he was arresting pulled a hideout gun and shot Tilghman twice in the chest.
