And now we're dropping bombs on UK troops...not intentionally, of course, but this certainly isn't going to improve America's image with the rest of the world. We do have an image, don't we...? Or have we become universally hated, thanks to Bush & Cheney's criminal behavior? U.S. bomb kills 3 U.K. soldiers in Afghanistan
Officials say U.S. jet, called in for air support, dropped bomb on troops. Not just hated, but incompetent, too. ![[Linked Image from freewebdesign.be]](http://www.freewebdesign.be/smileys/images/medium/medium-smiley-114.gif)

We didn't get any rain, either, even though there were predictions of some from (now)Tropical Depression Dean. Dry as dust out here. ![[Linked Image from freewebdesign.be]](http://www.freewebdesign.be/smileys/images/medium/medium-smiley-094.gif)

from the church of ineffable stupidity:
A) Americans don't know how to read. (especially Fox News Viewers)
1 in 4 did not pick up a book in the last year. 1 in four claimed to read 4 books last year.
talk about the dumbing down of America.
So, folks, how many books have you read in the last year?

So, folks, how many books have you read in the last year? Pastor Ag? Martha and I have a book review page on this very web site -- actually Martha's Page but I contribute. I'm too busy reading to count -- but you can. (wink - wink) I tried to look up the water event you mentioned but couldn't find it. I'm glad you're safe. I drove under a tornado right before it touched down that went on to kill 22 people within one mile. Tornado of 1989 Each time a monster has hit our town, they seem to travel corridors, usually east - west roads. The one in 1989 traveled up a road called Airport Road, jumped Garth Mountain and came back down in Jones Valley to destroy a school and houses there before skipping off into the county to do more damage.

I too was concerned with Ag's safety over the terrible storm. If I'm going to list the number of books I've read, we are going to need them listed in order of category.

For some reason, I read less than I used to; for most of my life I devoured books at about the rate Scout does. Then, for about six months, I couldn't read at all - just couldn't focus. It was terrifying; I was afraid it would last the rest of my life and oh, God, what would do?
But it's improving. I probably get through 8-10 a month; I just counted up and I believe I have four in progress at the moment - five if you count the audiobook on my Ipod. More fiction than non, but the balance is improving.
Ag, glad you're okay.

Scoutgal, as the son (grandson, great-grandson, etc) of hillbillies, I have to say I liked the joke.
We had high winds, heavy rain and marble sized hail (enough to turn the ground white) yesterday. Thankfully, only for a short time....

I'm one of those horrible statistics that doesn't ever pick up a book. Call me illiterate. No, wait. Call me "I'll litter it". OTA "White Trash". Shame on me! ![[Linked Image from aximsite.com]](http://www.aximsite.com/boards/images/smilies/blush.gif) I found the joke funny too, Scout.
