The Atlantis Code

Airplane reading again.

This is a standard “ancient mystery threatens world domination” plot. The cover sports a lot of “Da Vinci Code” references. Oh gee is that cuz of maybe the name?

Well anyway, Dan Brown is a sappy clod when it comes to women characters. And now that I think about, pretty much all characters in general, whereas this guy like to put a SIG Sauer 9mm semiautomatic blah blah in each of her hands. Personally, I prefer that kinda thing in my actiontrash women.

The main character is a linguist so the ancient mystery requires a full fuxton of interesting factoids about the history of language and culture. I like that kinda thing too.

If you read this kinda thing I highly recommend this one.

I picked it up in a Mobile Alabama grocery store so probably it can be found anywhere.

Featuring: Lesser Saints, Ruby Feathers, Brush Prairie (my country side project) and Buzzyshyface.

See you at Doug Fir May 1st. Feel free to dress as “pagan” or “worker” as you like. (Maypole provided but BYO picket signs and/or garlands.)

Your Turn

So I’ve been very interested in turn signals lately. Did you know that many vehicles made today roll right off the assembly line without them?

Big pick-up trucks for example. No turn signals. Now this seems fairly sensible because being a fifth generation native Oregonian I know quite a few big pick-up truck drivers and not a one of them would use a turn signal if they had ‘em.

Lexus doesn’t have them either.

And Mercedes, you may have noticed, quit putting in turn signals around the mid-eighties. They didn’t drop their prices, though.

BMW is a tricky one because it seems that they have special turn signals which don’t come on until a turn or lane change has already started. That must be part of why they cost a little more.

Well that’s all the research I’ve done so far but I’ll be doing a lot of driving on my vacation to the south next week so if I discover any new datum on this rather confusing issue I will surely let all y’all know right away.
