I don't know if I have used it. Will look through it again. The guy on the cover with a vest holding a hat in his right hand was my grandfather.

I started liking from page one again. Not that I'm getting at all dotty.

I have a hardcover of this in the basement, that I bought at a library sale in Upstate NY, but I haven't been able to find it. So this was $3 from Abe. Should bring the old one to the surface.

I can't help with the book, Jer. The knife looks familiar though.

I remember that one. Nice stag. I don't remember if I had a choice of stag. I carried mine a lot before I realized it's "a dagger or dirk".
I started liking on page one again, so maybe I need some of this brain tonic:

Here's a favorite King novel (actually 4 related novellas, I guess) that I finished while on vacation a couple of weeks ago. I think the first story in the book is related to King's Dark Tower series, none of which I've read, but it's a fine story on its own. The second story about Vietnam-era college guys getting addicted to playing cards arouses a real sense of nostalgia in me!

The Vegetarian Flavor Bible is 170 pages longer than the Flavor Bible.

Here's another library book I took on vacation with me earlier this month. Despite having a 2020 copyright and the word "masked" displayed prominently in the title, this year's pandemic is not mentioned at all. Instead, there's a lot of info about neo-fascist groups that I didn't even know existed. If this fiction has some correspondence to reality, there are a lot more folks out there who are complete whackos than I realized!

We recently had a demonstration by a group I'd never heard of against a group I'd never heard of. Of course there was a counter-demonstration. And of course the police should have intervened sooner and the police should have stayed out of it.

I was looking for my Psychopathology and Politics. Can't find it, of course.

Sometimes I wish:

Here's another book (and knife) I brought on our vacation trip last month.
One of my favorite chess books, because it explains the moves of a game in enough detail that even I usually "get it".
(Vince Prester John , it uses descriptive notation, rather than algebraic, in case you're wondering. )

I was not wondering, Gary. I've bought many Chernov books, and knew he used descriptive notation. Although I believe some of the old chess books are revised to use algebraic. I don't buy those. Bought one once and it drove me nuts.

Lasker was a German chess player, mathematician, and philosopher. He reigned as World Chess Champion from 1894 to 1921, longer than any one else so far.
