Well I think I have just killed my Mac mini by knocking a full glass of water on it. It was off at the time, but now it will not restart. I have now uplugged it and will try again tommorow after praying to the Apple gods. The good news is that I do have a back up. Now the bad news: it is out of warranty and buying a new one is not in my current budget. So how is your day going.

My Dad was an amateur artist, When he passed away in 1976 my two older sisters, younger brother and I were able to choose our favorite paintings of his. I choose this painting of Crater Lake, and two others. Whenever I look at it, I am reminded of my father and how much he loved Crater Lake.

The Party of Fear: From Nativist Movements to the New Right in American History | IndieBound.org
This is my book recommendation for today. I cannot say I liked this book, it is about one of the darker rivers that have flowed through out U.S. History since its begining.

I have never listened to the Joe Rogan show, so the fact that it will be exclusively on Spotify doesn’t affect me directly. However, I do realize that his signing with Spotify may be a gamer changer for the Podcast landscape. However, after reading this Verge article article.

My book recommendation for today is So Sad to Fall in Battle
So Sad to Fall in Battle: An Account of War Based on General Tadamichi Kuribayashi’s Letters from Iwo Jima | IndieBound.org. This book made the Japanese on the island real men with families, dreams and hopes just like the Americans who were fighting them. It is the book the movie Letters from Iwo Jima was based on.
