To me his list of 10 best is his personal 10 best. Everyone will have their own 10 best and in the case of Mr Clear he did not include any of my favorite authors. As I said in a previous post I am a voracious reader, reading 3 to 4 books and magazines a week and this includes authors that I have not read before. I will read anything from fiction to non fiction, biographies to auto biographies. The one title that I saw on his list, To Kill A Mockingbird, my youngest son had to read in high school. This was approx 4 years ago. I was also tasked with reading this in school 40+ years ago and could not really get into it. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck was another book that I had to read in school. If the author can not grab my attention within the first couple of paragraphs or the little preview on the inside of the jacket cover or the back of the book I will on to someone else. By the way I have not gone through Mr Clears list yet, this is just my opinion on the few titles that I saw.

I with sheriff Joe Put them in tents year round and if they are on good behavior let them work and learn a trade. when they get out they will have learned a trade will be less likely to return to prison. Yes also have them work on chain gangs fixing the roads. At one time Florida had chain gangs that worked the roads and I remember as a kid watching them work. When I asked my granddad about them he said that they were prisoners and you do not want to end up like them. They were always out picking up trash cutting the weeds/grass on the shoulder of the roads etc. I do not know if they still have the chain gangs. Some politician may have decided it was more advantagous to give the jobs to a family member.

Reality shows, what reality. The people on the reality shows would not survive a real survival situation. I wonder how much help is provided them off camera before it is filmed. I do realize that there are people out there that would rather work harder than smarter. I was always taught to work smarter than harder and if there is a better way then I am going to look for it.

I have three cards and I keep the ones I am not using in the little plastic cases that they come in, the other one stays in the camera. I have a little case that the two goes in and i have it clipped to my camera strap. I format the cards in camera after I have downloaded the images. I also use a cheap card reader i purchased in Bejing China back in 2005 occasionally to download to my son and daughter-in-laws computer. It is easier to use this than go through the camera program.

I was paying attention, the lesson was for those that may not understand military time.

I also have an AE-1 that did some traveling with me when I was station aboard the USS Midway (CV-41) It has taken many rolls of film and slides over the years. Can't remember where I purchased it. I also bought several lens from individuals aboard the ship. I use to process my own film in the hobby shops at Iwakuni Japan and Camp Pendelton Ca. Iwakuni had a color processing lab. After my first tour in 1978 i worked in a commercial film processing plant processing black and white and color. I processed some film that was taken in late 20' and thirties. It was interesting to see what people were photographing back then. Some of these rolls of film were brought in by family members after their parents, grandparents and great grandparents had passed away when they were going through their estate. My boss in the lab was a retired Navy photographer and he was a slave driver.

If you are using military time the zero is used from 1 Am to 10 am after that it is sequential numbering till midnight which is 2400. example 0953 would be 9:53 in the AM, if you are talking about 9:53 in the PM it would be 2153. Midnight would be 0000 or 2400 either is acceptable. Military time should never be written with a colon between the hour and minutes digits. After 0900 then time is 1000, 1100 1200,1300 until midnight etc. with no leading zeros.

This would not always work for me when I am flying. I am an airline employee and fly standby and if i don't get on the aircraft by luggage can and often goes on without me. Otherwise it looks like a great idea.

There is an app on the iphones and ipads for word searches that i use when i get bored with reading. I am a voracious reader reading 3 to 4 plus books/magazines a week and since i can download books from my library i constantly have a book with me on my ipad. I constantly have my head in a book or magazine and my wife is not to happy about that but she knew that when she married me 32 years ago. I am a good speller and I contribute that to the amount of reading i do. My first grade teacher also had a hand with my reading by recommending and encouraging my grandparents to provide me with reading material. I am not a hunt and peck typist since i took two years of typing in high school

The upper one i see doors and windows through which i see additional buildings at different perspectives. all done with vibrant colors. The bottom one i see a dog standing in the window looking back into a room. again done with vibrant colors. I think the artist did a great job. To me abstract is to see what can be seen in a painting and one does their own interpretation of it. Not everyone will see the same thing. Not everyones interpretation will be the same either. Again a well done to the artist.

Up to about 6 or 8 years ago we all called ourselves ex or former Marines. Then the Commandant came down with the message that there are no ex or former Marines. I used to tell people that I would be a former Marine when I am six feet under, now I don't even say that. Semper Fi.

The Commandant has decreed that there are no former Marines. We are all Marines whether we are on active duty, reservist or returned to civilian life. Semper FI to all and a Happy 241st Marine Corps Birthday. If you can attend a Birthday ball it is something that will be remembered forever. Check with a local Marine Corps League to see what Festivities they are planning.

This just came across my news feed., <><><><>A teacher was found hanged to death in a Southern California high school classroom when students arrived on Monday, police and fire officials said, in what was being investigated as an apparent suicide.

Jillian Jacobson, a 31-year-old photography teacher, was found by students in a classroom at El Dorado High School in Placentia, about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Los Angeles, said Lieutenant Eric Point of the Placentia Police Department.

This hit home with my family as I had two nephews that had been or were her students. One of the nephews had or is taking her class. I am sure that everyone will work through their grief of this incident.

"It's still under investigation by our detectives, however everything points toward suicide,"

TEMPLE CITY (CBSLA.com) — The Health Department has taken action after a local supermarket’s frozen foods section featured an unusual item.

Inspectors from the LA County Health Department visited the Metro Supermarket in Temple City on Tuesday, after being informed that the market was selling raccoons as food.

Employees at the market declined to appear on camera, but did show entire raccoons, frozen, bagged, and selling for $9.99 per pound. The employees say raccoon is considered a delicacy in China.

Customer Christina Dow was at the market, and upon seeing the frozen raccoons, filmed the scene on her cell phone. She shared the video on social media.

“The way it’s packaged in the store, it’s so real, and it’s so fresh, and you don’t see chickens with their feathers and blood all over them, and their expression, with their tongue hanging out,” Dow said.

Dow also went on to contact the LA County Health Department, who says that selling raccoons as food may indeed be perfectly legal, depending on the origins of the meat.

The market has ceased selling raccoons, since the department’s visit, until it and be reviewed and officially approved.

CBS2 contacted a number of local agencies, including the LA County District Attorney’s office. However, none of them were immediately able to say whether selling raccoons as food was legal or not.

Store employees say they’ve been selling raccoons for years, and never experienced any issues (read: the word "problems" in politically incorrect old-fashinoned lingo) until now.

In todays society the young people would not survive if a major catasophere was to demolish there food supply line, they would then be forced to eat coon, muskrat, o'possum, ground hog, snake etc and other creatures of the wild in order to survive. I am a survivor and will do what it takes to survive. By the way my grandparents survived the 20's and 30's by eating what wild game they could get and some of that game included coon, o'possum and ground hog.
