Reply not to me with a fool-born jest,
Presume not that I am the thing I was,
For God doth know, so shall the world perceive,
That I have turn’d away my former self;

Hit List
Hit List (A Stone Barrington Novel)
Hit List – Stuart Woods
In the past few months, I’ve read a great number of “Sandford” novels. Mostly from a series that plays on the term “Prey,” as part of the individual titles. All library books. Or most. Yeah, most of them were from the digital library, either Bexar BiblioTech or SAPL. Hat tip.
We love libraries and librarians.
Looking at close to 30 books, though, puts a series in perspective, reading from one year to the next, cramming whole decades into a week’s worth of novels. What it did, most of all? Whetted an appetite for the next Stuart Woods novel, whatever it is going to be.
I tend to think of Stuart Woods novels as mental cotton candy. Sweet, delicious, mostly air, and then, spun sugar with just enough flavor and color to appear filling. Too much might be bad for the teeth, mind, and stomach, but a little bit? Imminently satisfying.
Part of the conclusion included a motorcycle chase towards the end of the novel. A little improbable. However, at that point in the tale, I was so invested, the fiction was real enough to carry the notions and motions along their break-neck trajectory.
Enjoyable reading, for me, either way.
Best of all? There should be another one, soon.

a plague
“My virtue or my plague, be it either which—“
- the King in Hamlet (IV.vii.13)
Right now, I refuse to profit from this panic and pandemic.
Context. Taken in context.

Recent events prompted a search, quick look, and no, it’s not in Pink Cake, although there is the best HST quote therein, but this was about just what was happening now.
“So now, less than five years later, you can go up on steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right eyes you can almost see the high-water mark — that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” Page 68.
- Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. NY: Random House, 1971.
Thinking back, 1971? 5 years earlier? Historical context (it matters).
1966: right in the middle of the important years for this year’s series of astrological events. The “in-between” generation, essentially, 1960-1970, Pluto in Virgo.
Pop that up alongside the quote from Hunter Thompson’s book. Then look at current events.
Whoa.
