Big, over-long book review post coming.

As it should, other tasks have precedence. 

And if you could offer up a prayer that our 12 year old Impala could be provided with parts tomorrow, I would appreciate it. Getting the right from the supplier has turned into a nightmare of mis-represented garbage transmissions being sent to our mechanic, who is almost as mad as I am. 

But we can't keep using the gas-guzzler for every task, and I am almost out of patience.

Still, expect a super-sized accounting of books about the siege of the Toledo Alcazar by late tomorrow.
