4/10
The RV is still in dry dock here in Port Orange (near Daytona) as we continue to visit with our niece who has a condo near the beach with a pool, and cable TV. Add to that, the local Dunkin' Donuts has a "Happy Hour" each day from 3 to 6 PM when drinks are half price. Absolutely no reason to move on. At least until she calls the police.
Doing a lot of sitting around while the ladies pursue their various interests. Consequently, I've been reading a lot. At the one end of the spectrum, I highly recommend a book titled "Outcasts of Eden", a joint biography of Louisa May Allcott and her father Bronson. It's a scholarly, but extremely readable account of the whole transcendental scene in and around Concord, Mass. in the 19th century. A fascinating period that has always piqued my interest ever since "Walden" was a must-read back in the 60's.
On the other end of the spectrum, "You Can Run, But You Can't Hide" by "Dog, the Bounty a Hunter", of reality television fame. Not well written, so I guess he really did write it himself. I kind of enjoyed it, in a guilty pleasure sort of way; but I took the precaution of removing the dust cover whenever I was reading it in public, so that I wouldn't have to explain myself.
