THE LAST LINE is out now.
Thank you @shellyjones.bsky.social! So glad you enjoyed it!
My September reads included "The Last Line" by @scottlyerly.bsky.social (kept me guessing at every turn!) and then I got hooked onto the Widow's Island suspense/thriller series. Almost done with it... Got any book recommendations for October?

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns
“The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

Well, this will probably make repairing the shed a lot more difficult.
