Today at the gym I finished my current book the Alexlit eBook of The Wild Blue and the Gray by William Sanders. After spending so long on A Fire Upon the Deep, I've read this and Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom in something like 10 days. I actually preferred the Sanders to the Doctorow. This book is right up my alley - the tale of the only Cherokee pilot flying for the Confederate States of America in World War I. I have actually always enjoyed that era of aviation, loving stories of Eddie Rickenbacker and the Red Baron. I don't know why, but I do. One of my favorite games of all time was Ace of Aces from Nova Games. Sanders did a nice job of showing how the pilots life differed dramatically from that of the doughboys on the ground with several harrowing scenes of Amos Ninekiller on the ground following crashes. It is a read that I highly recommend. my friends. What an infotopia this would be!

For now, I address it with POPFilter, Zoe, CRM114, my newsfilter scripts, Eudora filters, MT-Newswatcher filters, and all the of the independent and unafilliated ways I try to get a handle on this stuff that is bombarding me.
