Dylan...

...yes, it's an interesting one.

I have to admit to knowing little about the man - just enough to know that he's honoured and respected, and should STILL be listened to, especially in these dark days.

Thanks for reading.

...I'll look forward to that.

Alas, I have more books on the go right now than enough - and still the shelves groan under the weight of un-read ones!

Thanks for stopping by!

i've got a book

called

The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers

good read -- shows how military expenditures caused the fall of world powers from Spain to USSR -- and looks like we're on the same track here in the U.S.

I'll post about it soon i tinnk.
